Revisionist History is a podcast by Malcolm Gladwell produced by Gladwell's company Pushkin Industries. It began in 2016 and, as of 2024, has aired nine seasons.

Gladwell, who was already a successful author and essayist, was convinced to create a podcast by his friend Jacob Weisberg, then editor-in-chief of Slate Group, which includes the podcast network Panoply Media. Seasons 1 through 3 of Revisionist History were produced by Panoply. In September 2018, after Panoply ceased making podcasts, Gladwell announced he was co-founding a podcast company Pushkin Industries with Weisberg.[1] Pushkin has produced the series since then.[2]

Each episode begins with an inquiry about a person, event, or idea, and proceeds to question the received wisdom about the subject.
