About this listen

In the debut episode of Politically Handicapped, David and Dave Fair dive into Kalshi, the platform where politics, sports, pop culture, and global events all become betting markets. From presidential speeches and political outcomes to speculative cultural moments, they break down what’s worth betting on - and why people are willing to put money behind belief.

Each episode tracks real bets in real time, revisiting previous wagers and measuring outcomes as events unfold. Episode one introduces the rules of the game and the growing prediction economy shaping how people interpret risk, information, and power.
