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.

Customer Reviews
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?
Not very good
The host doesn’t appear to have very sharp interview skills or to fully understand the basic principles of journalism - he puts out catty gossip as ‘news’. His stance on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is very basic and one-sided - he needs some life experience and personal depth.
Authenticity Abounds
Andrew’s goofy thoughtful curious vibe coaxes guests into speaking as comfortably as they’d be chatting in your living room...albeit, about really tough & important stuff! 80% of the audio pod episodes are the best ever, anywhere, hands down. Not much for the royal fam mumbo jumbo.
