Revisionist History

Revisionist History

Pushkin Industries

<p>Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past&mdash;an event, a person, an idea, even a song&mdash;and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Pushkin Industries. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.</p> <p>To get early access to ad-free episodes and extra content, subscribe to Pushkin+ in <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revisionist-history/id1119389968">Apple Podcasts</a> or at <a href="https://www.pushkin.fm/join-pushkin">pushkin.fm/plus</a>.</p> <p>iHeartMedia is the exclusive podcast partner of Pushkin Industries.</p>
