What Magazine Does Gladwell's Book Say He Got?
at 2:05:04
Answer
Malcolm Gladwell's book says he got Life magazine and read it. In the interview he said the magazine was Time.
After Malcolm Gladwell leaves, Dax Shepard and Monica Padman catch the mismatch. The book says Life. On the interview Malcolm Gladwell said Time. They call the slip comforting because Malcolm Gladwell's recall usually feels daunting. Time and Life are not the same magazine. The same person created both, and the same company published both. They offer Time Warner, then say probably. Time is a news magazine. Life is a general interest photojournalism magazine. They remember Life from the book and heard Time in the interview. They bet it was Life, and they are recording a fact check. They do not know whether to believe the book, Malcolm Gladwell, or both.
If the book is wrong, it would have to be reissued. Dax Shepard and Monica Padman say that whatever the truth is, Malcolm Gladwell needs to say Life, because Life is already in the book, joking that otherwise they will sue.
