“tldr; remember Bill Murray’s whiskey commercials in Lost in Translation? This is what you’re getting.
I like Malcolm Gladwell’s revisionist history. He finds an unusual way to cover a topic we thought we already knew. I didn’t care particularly about Lexus coming in to this podcast, but the company probably had an interesting story given Malcolm was covering it. Nope.
I was expecting to get a story about the company’s quirks, the technical hurdles they overcame, maybe some key players and their interesting lives. Instead, this series reads like an advertisement. Malcolm delivers like he’s a paid spokesman for Lexus.
