Revisionist History

Pushkin Industries

Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Pushkin Industries. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance. more

  • Downhill since Season 5, Season 10 is Unlistenable

    I have read all of Gladwell’s books, many of his articles, and listened to all of his podcast. I could not finish one episode of season 10. What started as interesting, well-developed historical snippets has devolved into Malcom talking about totally uninteresting rejected ideas from Hollywood with unknown screenwriters. Oh yeah, the episodes are 20% ads now too, even the old episodes. Malcom grew a podcast from a base of curiosity and wacky history, interviewing obsessed scholars and experts. H... more

  • Older seasons were great. Newer seasons are more personal anecdote and less thought-provoking.

  • Used to be great

    Started out as the absolute best pod out there. Over the years, Gladwell’s sole focus and concern is money. A recent 11 minute Pushkin pod had over 6 minutes of commercials.

That doesn’t count a full episode that was a 30 minute commercial from Gladwell’s “friends at T Mobile.” Gladwell sold whatever integrity he had for a few more dollars. Deplorable

  • This show clearly has an agenda

    I heard about this show from an ad on one of my more regular podcasts and it was about how they were going to do a season and deep dive into the whole “gun thing”. Turns out it was only 6 episodes so that should have been a clue. The first episode on the matter was okay but there were some statements that made me raise an eyebrow but I decided to soldier on. Episode 2 showed the agenda almost immediately. The host targeted Justice Alito for almost direct ridicule claiming that someone from N... more

  • Gun Store advertising

    There was an advertisement for a gun store on this podcast. Nothing wrong with that for most podcasts. But this one just did a series on the need to get rid of guns. That seems a little hypocritical.
