Description
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.

James is in the latest House of The dragon series (2) its good to see him. brilliant actor.
He was great!
populism a good thing ???? brexit? pffff
Guest is terribly superficial, engages in embarrassing generalisations. I can't stand the worst of the let's woke agenda, but she has one idea and tries to horseshoe complex issues into that idea/hypothesis. In general I greatly enjoy this podcast.
The way the guest says "Right" when Andrew explains what he'd been told by the producers... and then she comes out and questions if it actually happened or if it was the way he perceived it.. Disgusting. And then Andrew points out that white men are under-represented in the media and the guest's reaction is that she has no problem with that. She is an idiot and I hope that she can one day see why her mindset is wrong.
is this the bit where we say CS Lewis didn't write Alice in Wonderland?
Towards the end I was waiting for Andrew to say "Get fu*ked" or "Go f*ck yourself" but he knows better than that. If you lash out wit profanity the opponents will talk about that instead of attempting a rebuttal.
no one believes trans women are women. this episode was fantastic
the notion that brand was too close to the truth and taken down is utter bollocks
Neanderthal Barton.....
Inviting a video creator with nearly zero knowledge of biology and psychology, accompanied by incel vibes... Seriously Mr. Gold? is this how you're aiming for deep critical content? Next time bring over a baker to discuss how gravity works in a black hole! :|

Former avid listener who lost interest when it felt like 99% of the content was Scientology, I occasionally pop back to see what episodes grab my attention. Now I see the name has changed. Not sure what to think of this show any more. I will keep popping back.
Dear God, my heart aches for that child she was , I also feel infeariated that adults would let this happen. I was the outcast in my family, nothing happened to this extreme. But to reconcile this as an adult in my head I go back as a grown up. I comfort the child I was. I also confront my parents not as me but as an authority. I let them know how disgusting and lazy taking their crap out on a child is. Out their secrets and feel justice that they must finally deal with the humiliation they had just hid in past. It helps . It may seem silly but I got my power back.
Thank you a million times. I have been moved to tears, laughed out loud, and amazed by the human spirit. Andrew was born to do this. He is calm and aggressive at the same time with his interview style. Where some hosts tend to shy away from certain subjects he goes for it. It is brave to make no apologies and very much appreciated. I absolutely love this show, to say binge worthy is an understatement. Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. BRAVO!
I think people need a certain degree of intelligence to have proper insight. This is the problem, especially when narcissism is added to the mix. Harry is dumb, but Meghan is worse because she's actually dumber, but she believes honesty believes she's an intellectual.
I am so proud of her. She is brave AF. A warrior, thankyou, sweet courages beautiful human. Everytime she graciously shares her story she impresses a wave of inspiration into the either. I appreciate and admire that lion heart so much.
