Introducing: Revisionist History |
We’re excited to share with you Season 6 of Revisionist History, Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast about the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past and asks whether we got it right the first time. The show is produced by Pushkin Industries. We've got to warn you, the new season is completely unbound. Malcolm is finally out of the house, and taking you into the streets, and under the sea. He plays chicken with cars. An Oscar winner helps him remake fairy tale history. He dives into your dirty laundry. We haven’t quite decided who he riles up most. College elitists? Nine year old girls? You’ll have to hear it for yourself to find out. |

In the season opener, Malcolm shares what he learned riding around with his producer Jacob in the back of a Waymo — Google's minivan tricked out with every conceivable high-tech sensor and gizmo known to man so that it can drive itself. And don't miss a special cameo by Lance Armstrong! |

Revisionist History makes a visit to Dillard University, a small, historically black college in New Orleans and wonders what it would take for that college to rise to the top of the U.S. News Rankings. Algorithms are hacked. Hypotheticals are explored. And at the end Malcolm wonders: Is it possible that America’s most influential higher ed ranking system is biased against black people? |
Don’t miss a three-part mini series on Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Malcolm asks: What’s wrong with one of America's most beloved animated fairy tales? He goes back to Hans Christian Anderson’s original. Talks to fairy tale experts. Breaks the movie down scene by scene, and, in the final installment, performs a revised version of the movie written by Brit Marling. Expect guest appearances from Glenn Close, Jodie Foster and Dax Shepard. Will Disney sue Pushkin in retaliation? We have no idea. But Revisionist History is taking the gloves off against the Magic Kingdom. Catch the newest Revisionist History episodes right now wherever you listen to podcasts, or at podcasts.pushkin.fm/newrepublic.
