Maria Konnikova, the author of \u201cThe Biggest Bluff\u201d and a professional poker player, is set to debut a new podcast titled \u201cRisky Business\u201d alongside Nate Silver, the founder of FiveThirtyEight. The podcast, which launches on May 16 through iHeartPodcasts and Pushkin Industries, will explore decision-making strategies in both poker and everyday life.<\/p>\n

The PokerStars ambassador<\/a>, who has a PhD in psychology, became a professional poker player almost by accident, winning over $500,000 while researching her book. Konnikova will team up with Silver, a well-known figure in political and statistical analysis, who has also made a significant mark in the poker world with more than $800,000 in tournament earnings. Silver, who left ABC News last year, is also preparing to release a book titled \u201cOn the Edge,\u201d which delves into gambling and risk-taking.<\/p>\n

The weekly podcast will feature discussions on various topics, including the tactics and strategies of poker, political analysis, and the upcoming U.S. presidential race. Both hosts will also participate in this summer\u2019s World Series of Poker, and \u201cRisky Business\u201d will cover the event extensively.<\/p>\n

Silver expressed his excitement about the podcast, noting, \u201cWe\u2019ll talk about the probabilities as well as tactics and strategy around politics and current events. How do things like expected value or game theory affect the decisions that impact all of our lives?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Konnikova added her perspective on the unique insights provided by poker: \u201cWhen you play high-stakes poker, you don\u2019t just learn how to play cards; you learn how to think about the world. You learn a clear, useful framework for making all kinds of hard decisions. In \u2018Risky Business,\u2019 we\u2019ll help listeners understand this framework and learn to apply it to the decisions in their own lives.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
