EDIT HISTORY

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

  Apr 7, 202634 minS3

  <p >We are drowning in advice about AI. Upskill. Adapt. Stay ahead. But underneath all of that noise is a question nobody seems to be asking: what is this actually doing to us?</p> <p >Psychotherapist Michelle Mah works with high-performing professionals navigating exactly this - and what she's seeing in her practice isn't a skills gap. It's exhaustion, dysregulation, and an identity crisis that the productivity conversation keeps skipping over.</p> <p >In this episode, we get into AI anxiety, the psychological cost of being asked to change at machine speed, and why the "adapt or fall behind" message...

  I quit law school. Then I quit my PhD. | Cheryl Lau

  Jan 11, 202638 minS2

  <p >When you've always been the straight-A student, quitting feels like a character flaw - not a decision.</p> <p >In this episode, my friend Jennifer Ho turns the tables and interviews me. We go through my three-page resume and look for everything it doesn't show: the shame of quitting law school, my mum telling me I needed to "bring harmony back into the family," and then quitting a PhD years later - terrified of becoming a two-time quitter.</p> <p >This is a conversation about high-functioning doubt, outsourcing your identity to systems, and how I eventually stopped making decisions...

  5 Years of Podcasting. Still Not Sure I'm Qualified. | Cheryl Lau

  Dec 28, 202543 minS2

  <p >For five years, I've been podcasting. Side Hustle Club. Thought Leader Club. Now EDIT HISTORY. And for most of that time, I built it while quietly wondering if I was actually qualified to do any of it.</p> <p >In this episode, my friend Rae Fung interviews me - and we go deep into the parts that don't show up in the highlights: why I rebranded twice, what I learned when my most casual episode outperformed my most carefully crafted one, and how I kept saying yes to opportunities I felt completely unready for.</p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <...
