Revisionist History (podcast): History and Key Facts

Revisionist History is a podcast by Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell, produced by Gladwell's company Pushkin Industries. It first aired on June 3, 2016 and (as of May 2025) has aired thirteen seasons.

Gladwell, already a successful author and essayist, was convinced to create a podcast by his friend Jacob Weisberg, then editor-in-chief of The Slate Group. At that time Slate also operated the Panoply Media podcast network, which produced the first three seasons of the podcast. After Panoply announced that they would cease making podcasts in September 2018, he announced that he was co-founding a podcast production company with Weisberg named Pushkin Industries, which has produced the series since then.

Each episode begins with an inquiry about a person, event, or idea, and proceeds to question the received wisdom about the subject.
