Craig’s List
Aggh! Our memories are flawed?! Free Brian Williams – Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History Podcast. Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard about 9/11? Chances are very likely (60%) that your memory is flawed. But, does that make you a liar? Malcolm Gladwell offers a very cool perspective, with the Brian Williams story as the centerpiece. I love this podcast for providing a deep-dive analysis of interesting events in history with a fresh perspective. And, I agree, “free Brian Williams.”
