Best explanations for the stories.
Malcolm Gladwell and team are insightful, engaging
16 nov.
I was first turned onto Malcolm when listening to a car podcast. I loved his insights and observations. He’s also got an amazing voice. Talented storyteller and remarkably way of engaging with listeners. So, when I found out about his own podcast about investigating another side of a story, I did not hesitate to download. From the first five minutes of the first episode, I was hooked. Malcolm and team, you are brilliant, insightful, and engaging. My heroes.
Regarding the Georgetown massacres episodes
26 nov.
Enjoyed the episodes, I just think Malcolm got a little too start struck with the attorneys and the defendant. I agree Georgetown was certainly not a victim - the real victims are the millions of hard working students busting their butts to get good grades & do a million extra-curricular tasks & their parents struggling to make ends meet and take out loans so their kids can afford to go to a school like Georgetown which as you know will then give their kids a leg up on getting a better job. I don’t know if the prosecution just missed that point or what but there were MANY victims of Mr Khoury’s actions and I found it disingenuous and distasteful that Malcolm and his attorneys were so gleeful when he got off. Her dad paid Georgetown’s coach to get his daughter on the team and & in the school & someone lost that spot. Period. Whether she knew it or not (I find it very hard to believe she thought she could get in on her own and play D1 tennis) her dad bribed the coach to get her in. Guilty.
What once was great..my revisionist review
22 nov.
When I first started listening to Revisionist History, I was completely captivated. The stories were intriguing, and of course, Gladwell’s narration and satirical humor made it an absolute delight to listen to. From Elvis stories to French fry anecdotes, all the episodes were meticulously crafted and expertly performed. Back then, I would have given it a perfect score—a 10 out of 10! Five stars! Whatever the highest rating they had, I would have given it that. However, over the years, what made it so great gradually started to fade away. It was first replaced by cleverly disguised advertisements, like the podcasts with Rick Ruben. Then, it became full-blown 45-minute ads for various services and companies, such as the Tide cold water washing machine podcast or the five-part podcast on WWII, which was essentially an advertisement for a then Gladwell’s upcoming book. This season has become almost entirely an ad for Gladwell’s new book, Tipping Point Revisited. While some of the episodes are still interesting, they are, in fact, just extended advertisements. To add insult to injury, there are also random episodes or “extras” that are just recordings of some random panel discussion held at the downtown YMCA. Frankly, the luster of the old episodes has worn off, just like how the flavor of the old McDonald’s fries was far superior to the new ones. In my humble opinion, Gladwell has lost his shine as a podcaster. Now, “Cautionary Tales” is the best Pushkin podcast, and it’s even starting down the same ad-disguised-as-podcast road that Revisionist History has found itself on.
