Broken Record with Malcolm Gladwell, Rick Rubin, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond Pushkin Industries

Possibly the best interview I’ve ever listened to. I’m 50 yrs old, so of course I’ve heard of and listened to the Chili Peppers casually, but I had NO IDEA, what a sensitive, brilliant human was behind that funky, driving bass.
Standing ovation for you Flea 🤩

Okay, fine, I *might* have a raging Malcolm Gladwell crush, from “The Tipping Point” to Revisionist History, this man is brilliant! I should have known that his beautiful mind would lend itself perfectly to the musical love story that is Broken Record. This podcast is such a smartly crafted deep dive that it makes me appreciate musicians and genres that I never would have given a listen. As a lifelong fan of music and art, this is easily my favorite weekly listen.

Each week I am blown away by this podcast and I tell my son in law “Dude, you GOTTA listen to this.” I just finished the Leonard Cohen episode. I actually called my kids in the middle of it just to talk to them. What a BEAUTIFUL discussion between Rick and Leonard’s son. I love the way Ruck just stayed back and let a father and son “talk”. A lot of podcasts are compelling, most are informative, but this is art, and it is wonderful. I am blown away
