Such a great, timely topic … and a great ending
Facsinating! Typical, brillant Gladwellian storytelling. For the past 40 years, I’ve been watching and reading about and then editing stories and writing newspaper headlines about the Olympics. The parallels and throughlines this series draws are fantastic, along with thoughtful arguments over the perils of purist absolutism or realpolitik when making the go-no go decisions. Like most people, I knew about the basic narrative of the 1936 Games, but have loved having my preconceptions shattered and assumptions challenged. And having just finished watching the Paris games pretty much nonstop for two weeks, I was blown away by the ending of the last episode — phenomenally well-told and prescient. I won’t spoil it, but you’ll be blown away.

It makes you re-think your subscriptions to other podcasts because, let's be serious, they're all inferior to this 3 min of genius. It would take 10,000 hours of preparation to create a...Read full review »
