  • Awful new host

    This pods been a disaster ever since a new host was introduced. Jason, I promise you, no one listens to this show for your political interests. Nor are you doing your company any favors by exposing yourself.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E309 - Karl Whelan
Q: How AI is changing what you do, and how it affected writing the book?
AI accelerates data collection and analysis, allows for rapid back-testing and handling of large datasets, and assists with drafting and organizing research, while authors still rely on human judgment for interpretation and teaching assessments.
E304 - Adam Bjorn from Plannatech Group
Q: World Cup and prediction markets—you described this as a coming-out party for these platforms. What stood out?
He notes the surge in prediction market activity during the World Cup, with Kalshi and similar platforms drawing huge liquidity and state-by-state interest, changing the perception of what is possible with onshore prediction trading.
E304 - Adam Bjorn from Plannatech Group
Q: Why did you decide to buy Prime, given the regulatory and market headwinds in the U.S.?
Adam discusses identifying viable state markets, the importance of customer service, cost efficiencies, and selective market access as the core reasons for acquiring Prime, despite high competition and regulatory complexity.
E304 - Adam Bjorn from Plannatech Group
Q: Tell me what got you into the business, straight out of high school, and how the Australian view on betting shaped your path.
Adam explains his early start in Australia, the culture of betting from a young age, and how Australia's regulated environment created foundational expertise that he carried into the U.S. market, highlighting how early experiences with local regulations and education shaped his approach.
E303 - Jonathan Cohen
Q: Jonathan, where do you land on the sports betting continuum between 'the end of the world is nigh' and 'do whatever the hell you want'?
Cohen argues that sports gambling should be legal with robust guardrails, particularly for young people, and that the rollout was reckless. He supports a legal, regulated market but stresses stronger protections and a holistic approach to gambling-related risks.
