Can facts heal America's political divide? We attempt to find out on the first episode of Numbers Geek with Steve Ballmer, the podcast where we use facts and numbers to make sense of the world. This episode takes Numbers Geek Host Todd Bishop to Politicon, a two-day political conference that showcases America's deep partisanship. He tries to get political figures like Ann Coulter and Michael Avenatti to stop the theatrics and focus on the facts. See geekwire.com/numbersgeek for show notes, data citations and behind-the-scenes videos, and USAFacts.org for more on the numbers we discuss on the show.
