Revisionist History
Pushkin IndustriesRevisionist 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.

- Great subject, hardly free from bias
Very important subject covered by two seemingly knowledgeable and sincere hosts. Was taken aback when the host said “when we see things like ICE kidnapping someone”. Wow! A rich display of extreme bias in journalism. Regardless of one’s view on the tactics of ICE, it could be honest and accurate to describe an apprehension of a suspected illegal immigrant as suspect or potentially unwarranted, but to say they are all kidnappings is highly discrediting of the host.

United States7 days ago - You lost me..
Malcolm you lost the debate because the other side had the facts that night and you and Michelle at the Munk debate were pushing propaganda and straw men and racial nonsense. The lies, the hoaxes, the propaganda, the gaslighting, on and on and on and on. Someone as smart as you- that debate has been so extremely disappointing for me. I’ve read most of your books and to see that you’re a believer in all of the propaganda….honestly, it’s like having a bad experience with an actor you used to love.... more

Thankful this podcast is a platform for Judy Goldman to shine aka “The Internet’s Proctologist”. Grateful for her making connections between Lester Bush Jr. to Jared Bush and Gary Goldman. Fascinating research and interwoven lives that we would otherwise likely not have known about.

You had a great interview with your old UofT Trinity friend Jim but never mentioned the BlackBerry movie. Was that due to copyright?

Canadaa month ago - Typical lying liberal propagandist.
This guy is so insufferably self righteous it's unbearable. His feminine little breathy voice doesn't do him any favors, either. Like most leftists, this isn't really a show, it's just yet another platform for them to espouse their personal politics, because they know so much better than you, the unclean masses. Sofa king tiresome.
