Malcolm Gladwell is a staff writer at\xa0The New Yorker. His latest book is David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants.\n\n"The categories are in motion. You turn into a Goliath, then you topple because of your bigness. You fall to the bottom again. And Davids, after a while, are no longer Davids. Facebook is no longer an underdog\u2014it's now everything it once despised. I'm everything I once despised. When I was 25, I used to write these incredibly snotty, hostile articles attacking big-name, nonfiction journalists. Now I read them and I'm like, 'Oh my God, they're doing a me on me!'"\n\nThanks to TinyLetter and EA SPORTS FIFA 14 for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@gladwell\ngladwell.com\nGladwell on Longform\nGladwell's New Yorker archive\n[6:30] "How David Beats Goliath" (New Yorker \u2022 May 2009)\n[29:00] The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game (Michael Lewis \u2022 2006)\n[32:15] Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession (Janet Malcolm \u2022 1981)\n[32:15] The Journalist and the Murderer (Janet Malcolm \u2022 1990)\n[43:00] Tyler Cowen's Marginal Revolution\n[56:30] "The Plauge of the Year" (New Republic \u2022 Jul 1995)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
