There’s gotta be one podcast that you discover (finally!) that you want to explore before any others, one so diverse and fascinating and quirky that you feel you’ve met a new best friend. This is it for me. Thank you, Ezra Klein (sharing top spot) for mentioning MG as if, of course, there could be no doubt that everyone already knew how great he is. Now I do. Am in auditory heaven.

Brilliant!
If you're not listening and reading Malcolm Gladwell you're missing out. Be moved, be informed, be entertained and get involved where there is opportunity!

Incredibly Unique!
When a friend asks what podcasts I recommend, this one always tops the list. There is something for everyone here. Malcolm’s voice is so captivating and the way he strings ideas together is mesmerizing! He can make a seemingly boring topic, a riveting subject. Thank you for the knowledge you impart on us and the opinions you encourage us to revisit. Revisionist History is beautifully produced.

Embracing anticipation...
Haven’t even given a listen but I have butterflies already because I know I’ll be losing my stomach in the sense one does, when free-falling from the top of a roller coaster.... more to come..

Captivating!
This podcast hooked me from the very first episode. The stories are always thought-provoking and I always learn something new. Malcolm Gladwell is a gifted journalist, writer, and storyteller!

Excellent
@Gladwell I love revisionist history for the gauntlet of emotions, feelings and ohh wow moments. I couldn’t comment on any one particular podcast with proper deference. I will say that I’m genuinely frustrated that I cannot partake in the golden years of French fries!Update: Malcolm has found a way to present something I could care absolutely nothing about and by the end of the episode I’m heavily invested. Invested to the point of action. That is power. That is an excellent use of my podcast time. 10 stars

Top notch reporting and podcast

Great topics but too many pitches
Loved Malcolm’s work for years in all forms. Seriously though what’s with all the ads? Get less ads but more expensive if money is the issue.

Compelling, and challenging
Malcom Gladwell is the most intriguing story teller. He will challenge you, make you think and give you some really good topics of conversation when talking with family and friends. I have so much respect for this man and Pushkin industries. If you haven’t already bought any of his books, I would 100% whole heartily recommend you go to your local book store and buy at least one of them. If you’re looking for a podcast to sit back and relax, or to agree with what you already know- go listen to something else. Malcom Gladwell is for people who want to better themselves in every way, challenge themselves and learn something. Malcom Gladwell, you are one of a kind. If you are ever looking to interview a twenty something about anything I would love to get the chance to talk to you about whatever you want.

On Repeat!
I binge every episode back to back at least twice a year. Malcolm is a great storyteller.

Great
I used Malcolm Gladwell written articles to help teach counter-terrorism analysts about critical thinking, and the value you diving below the static surface of an issue. I feel badly for those with no critical thinking skills. For them, I think, Gladwell is likely a confusing writer and orator.

It’s just so good
I’m obsessed with this podcast. Every episode is fascinating and surprising.

Bait and Switch
When Revisionist History is good, it is very good. Thought-provoking etc. But Gladwell takes commerce too far with his sell-out episodes that are nothing more than advertorials. The Druid Hills “Bonus Episode” is one long infomercial with a cynical and unconvincing narrative. It was a waste of my time and I fault Gladwell and Pushkin for not being honest about its lack of credible editorial content. Other episodes are just as bad, consider all the ones that are nothing more than sponsored celebrations of Lexus but do their best to obscure their lack of objectivity and independence. I am sorry that a new RH episode appearing in my feed no longer is something to savor and instead is something to view with cynicism.

Had to comment on "King of Tears"
I have enjoyed all the episodes so far, but "The King of Tears" desearves a special mention. It might have been the mood I was already in, but this episode rivited and touched me deeply. After listening for only a fw minutes, my eyes were filling up with tears. It wasn't sadness, it was a physical reponse to what I was hearing. I spent the almost the whole episode sitting with tears streaming down my face. I couldn't really understand the words the singer of the Anne Frank compisition, but the combination of the emotion filled voice and the haunting piano accompyment touched me compltely. I think it is something about the sound frequency of the music of "sad songs" that resonate with us and bring us to the the place of emotional release. I loved it! Felt great after. Thankyou so much.

Malcolm is the best
I’m new to Podcasts and found this one first. It has really set the bar high and I find it hard to discover others that explore subjects in the same way as Mr. Gladwell. Pushkin is the Gold Standard.

My Favorite Podcast
Every time I listen to this podcast I’m transported back to college and graduate school. Sitting around the student union contemplating the world with remarkable people who expand what I know and changing the way I view the world. Thank you.

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.
