  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E316 - Jeff Burkey from Adjacent Markets
Q: You guys make your money how?
He explains that index providers license index data to product issuers, commonly earning flat fees or a percentage of assets managed in products that use their indices.
E316 - Jeff Burkey from Adjacent Markets
Q: Why don't you tell us about Adjacent Markets, what it is, what you guys are trying to do, and where we're headed?
Burkey says the company builds indices on top of event contracts across politics, sports, and economics, allowing investors to take thematic positions without analyzing individual markets.
E315 - Jake Pearson from ProPublica
Q: Do you think that there is a way to run a VIP program and protect people that need protecting?
Pearson says he does not know, and argues that better data on VIP customers, deposits and large losses is needed to understand the overlap between valuable customers and people at risk. He notes that regulators may intervene if operators cannot coordinate protections.
E315 - Jake Pearson from ProPublica
Q: Was this your idea? Did you pitch this one to your editors or did it come to you some other way?
Pearson says he pitched a sports betting story to his editors after years of interest in consumer protection and business investigations. The project's specific experiment developed later, and he was surprised the newsroom approved it.
E314 - Travis Geiger from WagerWire
Q: How does the original WagerWire product fit into all this? Are we completely separate here or do you see things being folded into each other?
The secondary marketplace showed WagerWire how bettors and market makers traded positions and hedged risk. The company plans to use prediction markets as a back-end pricing tool for offering buyouts on domestic sportsbook bets.
