About this listen

 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 Robbie Williams and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.Andrew Gold Social Sciences

    Jonathan Pie — The Biggest Mistake I Ever Made 🧠 "You’ve Kind of Got Me." 🎤 "Not Sure Why I’m Here." In this explosive Heretics podcast interview, Tom Walker (a.k.a. Jonathan Pie) opens up about being cancelled, defending Huw Edwards, walking the tightrope on Islam and free speech, and falling out with the woke left. We dive deep into Pie’s biggest regret, what really happened at the BBC, and whether he'd dare speak out as Jonathan Pie again. We clash over grooming gangs, trans ideology, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, JK Rowling, and the state of British comedy under censorship. If you're looking for a no-filter discussion on cancel culture, political correctness, and comedy vs outrage, this one is for you.

    544. LEFTIE Destroys Keir Starmer, Wokeness & Islam - Andrew Doyle
    Jun 9 2025
    Is this the end of woke? In this explosive conversation with Andrew Doyle, we dive deep into the signs that the woke movement is finally losing steam — from people quietly removing pronouns from their bios to Keir Starmer's increasingly authoritarian stance. We tackle the culture war, the failure of liberalism, the rise of illiberal Islam in the UK, and why both the left and right are embracing censorship.

Andrew Doyle, author of The New Puritans and creator of Titania McGrath, pulls no punches as he calls out Starmer's Labour for cheering on hate speech laws, dismantles the contradictions of modern progressivism, and explains why the next culture war is already brewing. We also discuss what "woke" even means, and whether liberal democracy can survive in the long run.

Utterly addicted. Imagine a great journalist like Louis Theroux being able to day what he ACTUALLY thinks! Andrew Gold is just brilliant! Bring an open mind.

Andrew is a wonderful journalist with a real skill for talking to people about awkward and uneasy subjects. You might not agree with everything he has to say but I think he is very respectful of others with differing viewpoints and he has a way of explaining thoughts and ideas in a non-confrontational way. I wish all discussions could be like this. Expect to have your ideas challenged, your passions inflamed and your feathers ruffled with nuanced and open conversations.

Great Podcast and YouTube show
