Pushkin

Hello, today we're bringing you something a little bit different, an episode of revisionist history,

another podcast from Pushkin Industries. This season on revisionist history, Malcolm Gladwell

is diving into the infuriating issue of guns. The six episode series looks at America's gun problem

through topics such as the insanity of the US Supreme Court and the world of trauma surgeons,

and one of the episodes which caught my attention was all about the influence of Westerns.

As you know, I love cautionary tales that use true stories from history to teach us valuable

lessons about the world we live in, but asks Malcolm in this episode, what if we're not learning

valuable lessons from studying the truth about history, what if instead we're watching pure fantasy,

mistaking it for history and drawing entirely the wrong conclusions, and by we, I mean, well,

the US Supreme Court. You can binge listen to the whole series ad-free by subscribing to Pushkin Plus

on Apple Podcasts or by visiting pushkin.fm slash plus or hear the episodes each week in the

revisionist history podcast feed, and now I am proud to present on cautionary tales this

revisionist history episode getting out of dodge.
