REVISIONIST HISTORY
You may know him from "The Outliers" or "Blink", Malcolm Gladwell is a Canadian journalist and writer best known for his unique perspective on popular culture. Revisionist History is a podcast, written and spoken by the man himself, explaining things that are under-explained and overlooked. Learn about things that nobody spends time analyzing. If you're interested in understanding why the LSATs are flawed, the science behind a Mcdonald's french fry, or how to go from a person to a genius, Revisionist History is the podcast for you.
“Revisionist History gives me a taste of how we should be thinking about things. Nothing should be overlooked and everything is here for a reason. It brings me those “a-ha” moments when I listen to Malcolm describe something so under-looked.” – Emily Nolfi
SPITTIN CHICLETS
Former NHL vets Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette come together to bring their outspoken and irrelevant opinions with Barstool Sports. This podcast focuses mostly on the NHL, but also touches on pop culture and other buzzing topics. Give it a listen for a good laugh and some great insight.
New episodes release every Monday and Thursday.
“Spittin Chiclets is one of my favorite podcasts because listeners get to hear a very different perspective on the hockey world from the hilarious guys at Barstool and talented players. It gives all us washed-up hockey players the chance to relive some of our best memories by hearing their stories and experiences playing the game” – William Watters
