I hate golf and, hopefully, by the end of this, you'll hate golf too. This episode is about the problem with golf. My name is Malcolm Gladwell and you're listening to Revisionist History, my podcast about things overlooked and misunderstood. Why do all the runners of West Los Angeles have to squeeze into this narrow, rocky, little track when there's a huge, magnificent park just on the other side of the fence? And since there aren't a lot of places to run in Los Angeles, tons of people run around the Brentwood Country Club on that narrow, dirt track.Īnd there's one thing that always bothers me every time I run that route. The one near my friend's house is called Brentwood Country Club and it has a tall, chain link fence around it which goes almost all the way out to the street, leaving just this narrow, rocky dirt track. They're everywhereÔøΩ vast, gorgeous, and private. Hillcrest, off Pico, Wilshire Country Club in Hancock Park, I could go on. There's Bel Air Country Club just north of UCLA, which might be the most beautiful golf course in the country. If you drive down Wilshire Boulevard into Beverly Hills, 10 minutes East of Brentwood, you go right past the Los Angeles Country Club which costs maybe a quarter of a million dollars just to join, that is if they'll even consider your application. And on the other side of San Vicente is this absolutely gorgeous golf course one of the many private country clubs that LA is famous for. Anyway, my friend's street dead ends on San Vicente Boulevard, one of the central East-West corridors in LA. He has a little pool house in his backyard and I stay there whenever I come to LA, kind of like Kato Kaelin, if your memory for OJ Simpson esoterica goes back that far. Malcolm Gladwell: I have a friend who lives in Brentwood, on the west side of Los Angeles between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. Season 2 | Episode 1 Length: 35min | Released: June 14, 2017 A Good Walk Spoiled with Malcolm Gladwell Transcripts for the entire Season 1 and Season 2 podcasts of Revisionist History are available here. We are not associated with Revisionist History or Panoply Media we are just big fans. We assist people and companies, such as those in the media, to swiftly transcribe audio and video files so they can find that meaningful dialogue. Simon Says is an automated transcription service. We highly recommend you listen to it and we supplemented that with a transcript below. One of our favorite podcasts is Revisionist History with Malcolm Gladwell and from Panoply Media which seeks to "go back and reinterpret something from the past: an event, a person, an idea." And Season 2 just started. There is also a larger point which is to be inclusive of people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing and transcripts provide an alternate form of accessibility to awesome audio content. Sometimes we want to go back to a key point that was mentioned or remember a book that was recommended this is why we need transcripts. We love how interviews and narration can feel so personal and intimate.
