From Started from the Bottom: Malcolm Gladwell and Justin Richmond Live at Medgar Evers College
Here's a special preview of a new Pushkin podcast, Started from the Bottom. Every week on Started from the Bottom, host Justin Richmond interviews successful people who grew up on the outside – people of color, people who weren’t part of the old boys’ network, people who came from a world where almost nobody went to college. How did they do it? How did they beat the odds while also beating away the feeling of being an imposter? In this episode, Malcolm Gladwell joins Justin for a conversation on race, identity, and how to succeed in a professional world where not many people look like you. Listen to Started from the Bottom at apple.co/thebottom.

Introducing Good Sport: Something in the Water: Where Do Great Athletes Come From?
Here's a preview from Good Sport, a new show from TED. “Muck City”, Florida. Kinston, North Carolina. The courts of New York City in the 80s and 90s. These places share one unique trait: they found a way to produce a particular kind of great athlete, over and over. Is there something in the water – or is it something else? In our first episode, Jody talks to sports journalist Bomani Jones and Olympic table tennis coach Rajul Sheth about talent “hotbeds”, the role opportunity and access play in crafting success and the important distinction between having talent and achieving greatness. Find Good Sport wherever you get your podcasts.
