Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.

In the 15th episode, Connor speaks with statistician Nate Silver about his new book On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, election forecasting, founding and leaving FiveThirtyEight, his bad beats at feature tables, and co-hosting the Risky Business podcast with Maria Konnikova.

Silver also discusses the upcoming US presidential election, sports analytics, Limit Hold'em, his Silver Bulletin newsletter and why no one should be a nit in life.

This interview was filmed on June 8 at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
