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.

In a conversation with Stella O'Malley, founder and director of Genspect, Andrew Gold @andrewgoldheretics explores why people—even very intelligent ones—are drawn to cult-like beliefs. He shares stories from his investigative work, including his study of exorcisms in Argentina, and connects these experiences to how modern groups can sometimes take on cult-like behaviors. He discusses how social pressures and rituals influence why people stay in these groups, even when it might be harmful. Through his work with former cult members, Andrew explains the challenges of leaving these intense belief systems and the importance of questioning groupthink in our lives. Andrew Gold is a British journalist, author, and YouTuber known for his investigative work on cults and extreme ideologies. Fluent in five languages, he has produced and presented documentaries for the BBC and HBO, including the acclaimed 2018 BBC documentary Exorcism: The Battle for Young Minds, featured in BBC Three's Best of 2018 list.

What if one race is found to be provably smarter than the others?

You're not getting any abuse online. Grow up. Rightful criticism isn't abuse. And no, writing this doesn't make me extreme, ultra or a troll.

Come on, Andrew. You're too intelligent for this nonsense. No girl 'nearly transitions' into a boy. There is no transition from female to male, or vice versa. The amount of medicalisation and mutilation doesn't change that for one bit.

From what I heard from her, she seemed to laugh a lot. I got the impression she is truly grateful to have come out the other side of this insanity.

I know you probably won't read this, but seriously - Dachshund? - a Dachs is a badger. Hence the short legs for hunting down burrows. Mine is a half-cast rescue. Love him to death. Please tell me you aren't making poor Gnocchi a vegan 🙄. Love your work.

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.

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.
