About This Podcast

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. EDIT HISTORY bridges scholarship and society - making serious ideas impossible to ignore. --- EDIT HISTORY won 2x at the 2025 Asia Podcast Awards (by Radioinfo Asia) in the "Best Education Podcast" and "Best Money and Business Podcast" categories. It was also shortlisted for the 2024 Asia Podcast Awards (by Radioinfo Asia) in the "Best Money and Business Podcast" category and won the 2023 Golden Crane Award (by the Asian American Podcasters Association) in the "Best Entrepreneur/Solopreneur Podcast" category.
