  • Summary

  • 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.

    483. The Cultish Underbelly of Gender Will Shock You - Andrew Gold
    Nov 16 2024
    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. In June 2020, he launched the podcast On the Edge with Andrew Gold, highlighted in Apple’s New and Noteworthy section. Gold also hosts the YouTube channel heretics., where he interviews people who challenge conventional wisdom and groupthink. His first book, The Psychology of Secrets: My Adventures with Murderers, Cults, and Influencers, explores the psychology of secrecy and is available on Amazon.

Great content, fascinating guests, incredibly well presented.

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.

Great Podcast and YouTube show

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.
