What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.

Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to ex-Hasidic Jew Julia Haart and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.

Vanessa G’s Megan Markle

I would just like to point out the sheer ignorance Vanessa displayed by saying a dress costs nothing to the designer. That is absolutely false, especially for couture. And her voice. What an annoying west coast accent. I actually did stop listening to her podcast Infamous- the quality of her journalism went from bad to worst.

Could be better

Andrew’s early work was absolutely fascinating - on or above par with the top investigative podcasters - but to my mind the magic and enthusiasm has gone - seems to have moved to a model of having a succession of guests on where Andrew doesn’t appear to have sufficiently prepared and doesn’t get a particularly interesting conversation as a result.

It seems disrespectful to the guest and any paying audience to have so little grip of the subject the guest has been invited to discuss. It was so cringy to hear how he talked about people who’d want to be cleaners to the person who’s written a book about how the working class had been denigrated…

He gets some good guests and I hope he raises the interviews a bit.
