Why am I starting a newsletter?

Malcolm Gladwell

If you’ve arrived here, you likely discovered that I’m starting a newsletter — one I’m calling Oh, MG.

For some time, now, I’ve been looking for a place to be a little more, well, Malcolmy. Digress. Hold forth. Rant. Expand on some things that I’ve been thinking about, or writing about, or that I’m airing on my podcast, Revisionist History. Like: “Have we misunderstood the future of the automobile?” Or: “Is it possible that America’s most influential higher education ranking system is racially biased?” Or: “Is there something very wrong with The Little Mermaid?”

And also, to answer your questions.

So that’s why I’m here, on Facebook, with Oh, MG. Think of it as the direct download from my brain to yours.

If you’ve read my books, listened to my podcasts, or are simply interested in my point of view, I encourage you to subscribe. After all, it’s free.

And don’t forget to comment with your questions… you might just find that I answer them.

    "what would Malcolm Gladwell make of this?" I was raised in the Bronx where stickball was the street game of choice on Jacobus Place, a 350' long street, with a 15% grade. What speed in MPH would an 8.5” circumference Spaldeen (Spalding Pink Ball) at…
