From Revisionist History: The Starvation Experiment

We’re sharing a bonus episode from another Pushkin podcast,
Revisionist History. Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell’s
podcast about things misunderstood and overlooked. This season,
Malcolm’s obsessed with experiments – natural experiments,
scientific experiments, thought experiments. In this episode,
Revisionist History examines the testimony of 18 men who took
part in an astonishing experiment at the University of Minnesota
during the Second World War. Revisionist History takes you
through the tapes, and asks why people are still arguing over the
Minnesota experiment 75 years later.
