I'm Maria Kannakova and I'm Nate Silver and our new podcast Risky Business is a show about making better decisions.

We're both journalists who moonlight as poker players and that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show.

We're going to be discussing everything from high-stakes poker to personal questions.

Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.

And of course we'll be talking about the election too.

Biden. How do you think he's doing, she will ask? Biden's allies say he's concerned.

The campaign is underestimating his appeal among working class voters in the rust belt.

That's a non-story in my opinion and it's just, you know, it's an old man whose feelings might

be hurt that he no longer is relevant to the question but George W Bush didn't campaign with McCain back in 2008 because he wasn't popular at the time and he said yeah that's

fine I realize I'd be more of a drag than a help maybe Biden's hurt by this

I don't know but Biden would be more of a drag
