Christmas in Connecticut

Malcolm Gladwell here, my new book, The American Way of Killing, investigates America's gun violence crisis. Why is the richest country in the world plagued by such lethal violence? Through a series of stories, interviews, and archival tape, I confront one of today's most urgent moral dilemmas and examine Why the US has never quite understood its own problem and why you can't fix what you refuse to see clearly. Get the American way of killing at pushkin.fm slash audiobooks or at Audible, Spotify, or wherever audiobooks are sold.

Pushkin. Hello, hello, Malcolm Gladwell here. Last week, my colleague Bended F. Hafrey brought you the story of the contested authorship of A Visit from St. Nicholas, otherwise known as The Twas the Night Before Christmas poem.

Christmas episodes have become a bit of a tradition around here, so I thought I'd bring you an additional piece of good cheer this morning, our epic episode from last year. about Arnold Schwarzenegger directing a made for TV Christmas movie that goes wildly off the rails. And if you're thinking to yourself, What? This is what you brought me for Christmas? A rerun?

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (48 minutes, 7,966 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
