Nate Silver on the edge

We talk election, media, Substack, prediction markets and more.

Chris here, Co-founder and CEO of Substack. I’m sharing a conversation with Nate Silver that I just published on my Substack.


Nate Silver is a man of many talents. He’s been a baseball analyst, a blogger, a legendary election forecaster, and founder of 538. He’s worked in media at the Times, ABC, and ESPN. He’s a professional poker player, and a bestselling author. I was introduced to his work through his book The Signal and the Noise, and he has a new book coming out in August called On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything. He has a wildly successful Substack, which you should subscribe to now.

I spoke to Nate with the whole Substack team listening in from our San Francisco headquarters, where we’ve gathered for the week. He kindly answered questions from Sophia Efthimiatou, Niall Wingham, Catherine Valentine, Jasmine Sun, Hamish McKenzie, and Helen Tobin.

Thanks for being here,

Chris
