Episode notes

Your mother, joyce gladwell, wrote a memoir called brown face, big master. It's full of great stories about struggle and the "medicine of acceptance" Her son says she was putting down on paper the stories she would never tell in public. He urges people to sit down with their parents while they are still alive and force them to tell stories.

Journalist, author, and podcaster Malcolm Gladwell joins Tyler for a conversation on Joyce Gladwell, Caribbean identity, satire as a weapon, Daniel Ellsberg and Edward Snowden, Harvard’s under-theorized endowment, why early childhood intervention is overrated, long-distance running, and Malcolm’s happy risk-averse career going from one “fur-lined rat hole to the next.”
