Pure Inference Daily

The cast

Tim hosts. Four friends at a high-powered firm argue with him about the day's stories, with real numbers.

The cast of Pure Inference Daily in their pod: Zuri, Margo, Tim, Dev and Hollis.
  1. the host

    Tim

    Runs the show and takes responsibility for it. Researches the day's stories, argues a theory in the cold open, and gets corrected on air by his own cast.

    “I'm a very real human, but this show is anything but that.”

    Tim
  2. culture

    Zuri

    Spots a brand's rise or death six months early, from a sneaker drop or a TikTok sound. Thinks anything uncool is worthless, even when it makes billions.

    “That brand is over.”

    Zuri
  3. money

    Margo

    Reads an earnings report in four seconds and talks about margins like gossip. Would sell her friends' birthday at a 40% margin.

    “Their margins are disgusting. I love them.”

    Margo
  4. the engineer

    Dev

    A grey-hat hacker who doesn't always get his info the right way. Reads the paper, the product or the demo and knows if the tech is real; an excitable true believer when it is.

    “No, this is actually real. This changes everything.”

    Dev
  5. history and odds

    Hollis

    The cheerful worrier. Has run the odds on everything and knows a weird story from 1637, 1720 or 1929 for every situation. Sees the crash coming, happily.

    “I'm just saying, it ended badly last time.”

    Hollis
