Hello, hello, hello listeners, Malcolm Gladwell here.

Before this episode starts, I wanted to let you know that there is a month of new content

coming from Pushkin that you can hear early and at free.

Our team has exciting new shows and podcasts like a new series from my podcast Revisioness

History, Paul McCartney's brand new podcast McCartney, a life in lyrics, new and exclusive

called The Dream that dives into the truth behind life coaches and self-help.

You won't want to miss Pushkin's September launches.

And if you want to binge shows early and at free, you can hear all of Pushkin's content

by becoming a Pushkin Plus subscriber.
