FiveThirtyEight's COVID-19 podcast is laser-focused on evidence. What do we know about the novel coronavirus, and what do we know we don't know? COVID-19 has pushed Americans into more uncertain territory than most have ever known. Our podcast helps listeners understand what they can be certain about, and what is still unknown. We investigate coronavirus mysteries, debate when it's safe to reopen the economy and keep track of the latest scientific developments on vaccines and treatments. We do it all with FiveThirtyEight's trademark blend of transparency and rigor.

Good, but needs to be more data / science based
05/02/2021
This podcast is fine but feels a bit phoned in. I like FiveThirtyEight for its analytical and sometimes contrarian (but always data-backed) takes. This podcast doesn’t have that feel. Instead, the episodes often cover covid topics that you can read in any mainstream newspaper.
Stop with the politics
08/16/2021
I am a germaphobe who appreciates good and honest information about this virus . The minute you start with the politics - you’ve lost me!
This is a joke
06/07/2021
Read the Vanity Fair article and then listen to the lab leak episode. Obviously has an agenda. Completely laughable.
Questions but not always the answers
05/08/2021
A lot of the questions asked were nit actually answered but the moderator would make statements that didn’t actually reflect the answers by provided by the expert. The reality is the vaccines are experimental and new. Interesting technology but lots of data free hand waving,
