The rise of people betting on wars

Right now, as you’re listening to this podcast, millions of people are earning money by gambling on war. Hedging their bets on when the next missile strike will happen, whether a ceasefire will hold, or whether a foreign government will fall.

It’s called prediction markets… and on today’s podcast we're explaining what they are, why they're booming, and why they're becoming one of the most controversial corners of the internet.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Sam Koslowski
Producer: Rosa Bowden
