Episode 324: Malcolm Gladwell
b"Malcolm Gladwell is a New Yorker staff writer, the author The Tipping Point and Blink, and the host of Revisionist History. His new podcast is Broken Record.\\n\\n\\u201cThe loveliest thing is to interview someone who\\u2019s never been interviewed before. To sort of watch them in a totally novel experience. Particularly when you\\u2019re interviewing them about things they never thought were worthy of an interview. That\\u2019s a really lovely experience. It\\u2019s like watching a kid on a roller coaster for the first time. But a celebrity is a very different kind of experience. The bar for them is quite high. They\\u2019ve been interviewed a million times, so you have to be on your game. You have to take them somewhere that\\u2019s a little unfamiliar to get them to perk up. Otherwise it\\u2019s just another of a long line of interviews. It\\u2019s a lot more demanding.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Aspen Ideas To Go, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\\n@Gladwell\\nGladwell on Longform\\n[0:30] Gladwell on Episode 62 of the Longform Podcast\\n[0:35] Gladwell on Episode 204 of the Longform Podcast\\n[0:40] Revisionist History\\n[0:45] Broken Record\\n[2:20] David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants (Little, Brown and Company \\u2022 2013)\\n[2:30] Panoply\\n[10:45] It's a Long Story: My Life (Willie Nelson \\u2022 Little, Brown and Company \\u2022 2015)\\n[28:00] Gladwell's archive at The New Yorker\\n[28:50] Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (Little, Brown and Company \\u2022 2005)\\n[30:20] Revisionist History: Analysis, Parapraxis, Elvis\\n[30:45] Behind the Shock Machine: The Untold Story of the Notorious Milgram Psychology Experiments (Gina Perry \\u2022 The New Press \\u2022 2013)\\n[38:20] Revisionist History: Free Brian Williams\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
