Pushkin Industries was co-founded by Gladwell and Weisberg in 2018.
It has produced dozens of podcasts and audio books featuring prominent authors such as Michael Lewis and Ibram X. Kendi.Gladwell is the Canadian author of bestselling books including “The Tipping Point,” “Outliers,” and “Blink.” In June of last year, Pushkin struck a deal with A24, a film and television production company, to make on-screen adaptations of its content.
A month later, it acquired Transmitter, a podcasting startup that produced shows for media ventures such as TED Audio Collective and Vox Media as well as original audio content of its own. “What I think has changed and had such a big effect is the position of some of the biggest players,” Weisberg told Bloomberg News.Share this article:
