Revisionist Gun History (with Malcolm Gladwell)

Malcolm Gladwell is a bestselling author and longtime New Yorker staff writer. He’s also the co-founder and president of the audio-production company Pushkin Industries, where he hosts Revisionist History, a podcast about things “overlooked and misunderstood.” He joins me to talk about gun culture, and what we get wrong about firearms in America. He also reflects on some of his older writing on policing, epidemics, and first impressions.

Plus, former Trump aide Peter Navarro’s sentencing is set for January 2024, and Fulton County DA Fani Willis decides against charging Senator Lindsey Graham, former Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, and others in the Georgia election interference case.
