EDIT HISTORY is a podcast about the ideas that matter - and the people who built them. We zoom in on the actual argument: the question they started with, what the evidence forced them to revise, and what must change if they're right.Every guest has done the work. Some in universities. Some in courtrooms, clinics, or boardrooms. What they share is this: they arrived at a position - and they can defend it.One-line pitch: "What question were you trying to answer - and if you're right, what must change?"The problem it solves: Most podcasts interview people about their journey. Brilliant research stays trapped in journals. Thought leadership gets diluted into hot takes.

Everyone commends you for being brave when you start over. But no one tells you that your reinvention might also look… ridiculous. For our guest today, that looked like explaining to people - very seriously - that she qu

Anna Ong spent 15 years in banking hoping her work would speak for itself. It didn't. What she learned instead: great ideas don't win. Great storytellers do. After leaving banking, Anna couldn't find a stage for the kind

Jennifer Van Alstyne posted about academics being paid for their speaking. It went viral - but not in the way she hoped. The comments were hateful. Some were racist. Fellow academics pushed back. She kept showing up anyw
