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.

I LOVE Malcolm but was really disappointed when his recent episode was really a T mobile ad. I’m so sick of ads everywhere. Used to love this as a great listen but this kind of tarnished it for me.
Apple Podcasts3Ashleyhw123United Statesa month ago - Bleeding Hearts Madness
I am a really big fan of Malcolm Gladwell and the Revisionist History podcast. But Season 14 — called the Alabama Murders — was a total debacle!

The seven part series was just as ridiculous as the amount of EV commercials.
The amount of empathy for two killers , it’s quite mind-boggling.
Apple Podcasts2vesprallyUnited States2 months ago - Biased and unbalanced
