Before It Was News

Sometimes the odds move hours before the headline does. Each week, two hosts take one prediction-market chart and go through it minute by minute, like a crime-scene timeline: what was public at each moment, who could have known, and whether the crowd was smart, tipped off or just wrong. It's a show about how knowledge actually travels, not about who won. Researched from real reporting, sources in every episode's notes.

Hosted by Nadia and Miles. Researched from real reporting; sources are in every episode's notes.
