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.

    Mark Birbeck is a founder of Our Fight UK, a non-Jewish group of concerned individuals–some Jews but mainly non-Jews–who have come together to create a resource for anyone who feels that abhorrence for Hamas's October 7th pogrom has dissipated far too quickly. They had their protest shut down by the police.

Episode after episode

Great listening! I started listening about six months ago. Episode 199 is a standout for me - super interesting and thank you for letting your guests talk! Bonus points! The royal family is a cult?? That’s a bit of a stretch. The Jon Atack one the week of 7/2/23 is really good. I learned something I didn't know about Charles Manson. Re: RussellBrand: what you should have said is nothing. Live and learnn. I wish he would quit talking about all the things. YouTube doesn't let him do. It interrupts the flow of the podcast and it's not anything I can do some thing about so just don't bring it up. Just don't do the things you're not supposed to do and just quit talking about it! 1/3/2024: andrew's gone off the rails. Why talk only about transwomen and not transmen? Keeps heading downhill...

Loved your talk with Tom Nash! Such an inspirational spirit. I had a bad day today. But after listening to his story my problems don’t feel so horrible or insurmountable. Great interview, I really enjoy your pod. ✨
Thank you 🙏

Love the premise!

It’s refreshing to hear from so many diverse voices that oftentimes hood the elites and the establishment accountable and a great counter culture show. It’s refreshing to see a show that is liberal and allows for free speech and free thought to reign.
