Hitler’s Olympics, Part 3: Mustache to Mustache | Revisionist History | Malcolm Gladwell

With the fate of the Olympics on the line, Charles Sherrill travels to Germany to take up the question of Jewish athletes directly with the Führer. We dig through a dusty archive to uncover a long-buried account of their meeting. The wolf met with the chicken. Guess who won?

ABOUT HITLER'S OLYMPICS SERIES
Adolf Hitler swept to power in Germany in the early 1930s and soon set out to stage the most extravagant and spectacular summer Olympics yet: the 1936 Berlin Games. And countries around the world dutifully put together their teams and made the trip to Germany. Why?
In this new nine-part series Hitler’s Olympics, Malcolm Gladwell and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey explore the games behind the Games, the most consequential Olympics in history. Along the way, they meet a collection of the world’s daffiest aristocrats. A couple of American construction moguls. A legendary triple-jumper. And one discerning journalist.
Heroes and villains. The clear-eyed and the deluded. All of them going to Hitler’s Olympics.
Hitler’s Olympics launches June 27th. Subscribe to Pushkin Plus now to hear the first five episodes on launch day, or listen for new episodes every Thursday for the next nine weeks.
ABOUT REVISIONIST HISTORY
Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell’s journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every podcast episode re-examines something from the past - an event, a person, an idea, even a song - and asks whether we got it right the first time. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.

It was probably the cadmium they put in their cocktails

[@youarenotthisbody6017]

Just watched your debate with "Doug" (aka Douglas Murray), and I'm glad I didn't go through with my order on Amazon with your books!
You're such a disingenuous person. I'm glad there is social media and we can see famous authors like you "debate" and out themselves like this.
Thanks Malc! 😅

[@youarenotthisbody6017]

I thanked you just because you decided to debate Douglas. Now anyone who sees that can see what a clown you are. Ideas coming out of such an ideologue could never be worth entertaining.
Thanks again, Malc! 😅😅

So he screwed up a debate and everything else he does is tainted? Logic much?

[@youarenotthisbody6017]

It's not about screwing up a debate. I don't personally hold people to their failures.
But that debate shows what kind of a person he is.. an ideologue, who thinks it's okay to be nasty to people who disagree with him. Thankfully, he was debating Douglas, who isn't the one to take such BS. And Malc here got the taste of his own medicine.
