Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Pushkin Industries. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.

A Critique of Government That Liberals Need to Hear: Government is a bureaucratic, slow-moving institution. It’s too easily captured by special interests. It’s often incapable of acting at the speed and scale our problems demand. And when it does act, it can make things worse. Look no further than the Food and Drug Administration’s slowness to approve rapid coronavirus tests or major cities’ inability to build new housing and public transit or Congress’s failure to pass basic voting rights legislation. This criticism is typically weaponized as an argument for shrinking government and outsourcing its responsibilities to the market. But the past two years have revealed the hollowness of that approach. A pandemic is a problem the private sector simply cannot solve. The same is true for other major challenges of the 21st century, such as climate change and technology-driven inequality. Ours is an age in which government needs to be able to do big things, solve big problems and deliver whe by The Ezra Klein Show

Then Alexa and Carlos PenaVega, authors of "What If Love is the Point?" join to talk about their careers in Hollywood in films like "Sky Kids" and shows like "Big Time Rush," getting married young, prioritizing family and marriage, finding God and faith, career vs. family, growing up and hardship, staying wholesome in Hollywood and the musi by The Megyn Kelly Show
