“The podcasts are enjoyable at the beginning - a story of athletics, coaching, and the social and political environment at the time. Sadly several episodes in it deteriorated into one-sided narratives about race and politics. As a POC, I’d enjoy it if it dug deep into the complex and debatable...”Read full review »

“Thank you for sharing the story of such important moments in the history of the ongoing fight for Civil Rights in this country. I enjoyed this entire podcast with the exception of one comment. During your description of Lee Evan’s podium ceremony you stated, “then when the star spangled banner...”Read full review »

“Definitely one of the best podcast I’ve heard, with artful and disciplined storytelling. There are so many lenses through which you can view this story, so many layers. A key moment when athletes use their platform to further a social movement. A great David v Goliath story. Black history....”Read full review »

“Some decent storytelling, but feels a lot like a veiled long- form advertisement for Puma with some content developed to fill the gaps.”

“This is the story behind the iconic photograph. Each show uses new and archival interviews, old clips from races, and Gladwell’s insight to tell the story of Speed City in an informative and entertaining way. This is an incredible story of courage and commitment. Thank you to Malcolm Gladwell and...”Read full review »

“I am a 70-year-old white businessman who grew up in an Indiana county where George Wallace won the election he ran in and was a write-in winner in the next election when he wasn't even in on the ballot. There was not a single black, Latino, person of any color whatsoever in my school system....”Read full review »

“This podcast may be as underrated as its subjects are. If told by anyone other than Gladwell, it would be hard to give the story of these men justice. Hearing Malcom casually drop “lily-white” into the narrative was an extra bonus on top of learning about this iconic photo’s historical context...”Read full review »

“Really enjoying this show. It is shining a light on a topic that has never really been shared, but should have been, and many of us have always wondered about. Love the narration, sound mix, and stories in each episode. Very well done!”

“Just like I couldn’t imagine being interested in a deep dive into WWII history and was then amazed how much I loved The Bomber Mafia, I didn’t think I’d be the least bit interested in a story about runners. But that’s the point. The story isn’t about runners. Not really. And Malcolm Gladwell is...”Read full review »

“I had no idea this story was coming out. Bud Winter was my grandfather, and I have been a coach for 30 years and am an SJSU alum. Bud’s story and the story of these men is fascinating. Thank you for covering these track history legends. I’m eagerly anticipating the next episode.”

“A story that deserved be told and now is with Malcolm Gladwell’s usual finesse and detail. If you come to San Jose, look for the statue of John Carlos and Tommie Smith on the quad. Belatedly they got their due.”
