Episode notes

There's a gaywright's back lash, which dwarfs the little moment of gaywright pops its head into the public discourse. Then you have back lashed to the brown decision that lasts 25 ears. I don't know why american back lash cycles. It's a kind of one step forward, four steps back, that i don't see in other cultures.

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.”
