A conversation about event definitions, crowd expectations, and why a displayed price needs context.

PredictionPodcast.com explores the markets, models, and human judgments behind the odds. This is the show’s reading room.

Prediction markets bring a familiar human question into focus: what do we think will happen next, and why? Our editorial approach connects that question with market mechanics, evidence, and the technology people use to make sense of both.
The conversation is for curious newcomers, people who follow Polymarket and Kalshi, and builders working with market APIs and AI research tools. You do not need to trade to follow it. An interest in clear questions and checkable explanations is enough.
The Signal Journal offers complete written guides, practical research frameworks, and fictional worked examples. Read a topic before a conversation, use a guide as a discussion prompt, or follow the links into a deeper question.
Audio episodes are not available on this site yet. The reading room is open: every guide is available in full, and the article RSS feed makes the published writing easy to follow. That feed contains articles rather than audio enclosures.
We welcome topic suggestions, thoughtful disagreements, guest ideas, and corrections. Send the question, why it matters, and any primary source that would help us understand it. Please make it clear whether you are suggesting a conversation, offering a perspective, or reporting an error.
