Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Malcolm Gladwell (The American Way of Killing, Outliers, Revisionist History) is a bestselling author, journalist, and podcast host. Malcolm returns to Armchair Expert to discuss growing up among Canadian pacifists, discovering America through magazines, and making his home in the country that fascinated him as a kid. Malcolm and Dax talk about what Law & Order gets wrong about murder, how a surgeon’s 3,000 gunshot cases challenge the crime statistics, and what assault weapons bans actually ban. Malcolm explains why crime and violence are not the same problem, a mind-blowing statistic comparing the police forces of Los Angeles and Berlin, and how fear puts people on opposite sides of the gun debate.
