About this listen

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.

    In the early 1960s the Pentagon set up a top-secret research project in an old villa in downtown Saigon. The task? To interview captured North Vietnamese soldiers and guerrillas in order to measure the effect of relentless U.S. bombing on their morale. Yet despite a wealth of great data, even the leaders of the study couldn’t agree on what it meant.

Brilliant.

How does this not have any ratings yet. I love this podcast. I love Pushkin Industries and the majority of the content they produce. If you're a fan of Gladwell's books you will love this. If you're asking Glad who? Do yourself a favour and have a listen.

Entertaining, insightful

A persuasive argument for the need to flip our perspectives on good stories that can alternate in the way they are told without discrediting or dismissing another's experience (ie as long as no harm is done)
