    Each week for 10 weeks, Revisionist History will go back and reinterpret something from the past: an event, a person, an idea. Something overlooked. Something misunderstood.


    I listened to two episodes of this yesterday, one on the impact of black schoolteachers in the US when school segregation was ceased, and the other on golf clubs in LA.

    Found it interesting and will keep listening - anyone else heard it?

    Yeah, it's very good. I've listened through season 1 two or three times. Highly recommend "the big man can't shoot".

    Listened to a few and all were good, especially the one on the Toyota cars. I wasn't a big fan of the golf one though.

    The golf episode got more and more up its own philosophical arse as it went on. Probably the only revisionist history pod I've not enjoyed so far, which isn't bad going.
