Author, speaker, podcaster and columnist Malcolm Gladwell has sold over 25 million books, including titles such as The Tipping Point , What the Dog Saw, Outliers, and Talking to Strangers. Many of the ideas and concepts featured in their pages have influenced everyone from business leaders to sports administrators, while his regular columns in The New Yorker since 1996 have made him one of the most popular cultural voices in the US. Gladwell is also a confessed track and field nut and in this interview with Mike and Ross he shares his views on why passion lasts longer than pressure in sport, how to save track and field from itself, the weirdest event in T&F, doping, why tennis reflects the good and bad future of sport and whether super shoes should be banned from athletic competition.
