Summary

Maria Konnikova, Revisionist History’s ombudsman—who's also an author, psychologist and professional poker player—is back for another round. This time she reads letters from the audience on the power of debate, and whether or not certain four letter words belong in Pushkin’s podcasts. Maria and Malcolm also look at the Columbia cheating scandal from a different angle, and hand out one more sparkling Pushkin Prize.

0:00.0	Hey revisionist history listeners, Malcolm here. Before we get started, I wanted to update
0:14.2	you on a few things. First thing, this August 24th, the revisionist history season begins
0:21.2	in earnest. Eight old school episodes in a row. The little narrative jewel boxes you've
0:27.9	come to love. We've been feeding you a little bits and pieces so far this season. But this
0:33.2	is the main event. The heart of it is a six part series on guns and violence that I think
0:38.2	is my favorite thing we've ever done. We are moving funny, heartbreaking, so mark your
0:43.9	calendars. August 24th is when it all happens. And by the way, if you want to get that whole
0:50.2	mini series early and binge it all at once without ads, you can. Just by becoming a push
0:55.8	can plus subscriber. In fact, just six 99 a month or 39, 99 a year gets you every one

1:40.2	who led the FBI on a seven year man out around the world. Believe me, this is a show worth
1:45.2	to listen. So sign up for pushkin plus and you can binge this one too.
1:52.8	Hello, hello, everyone. Malcolm Babel here. I'm here in the studio with Maria Conocova,
