heretics.

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.

344. My Wife Abducted My Kids!

John’s kids were abducted by their own mother. Taken from him and hidden in Korea. And the situation he’s (and the kids) going through is extremely difficult to say the least. There’s years of court precesses, years of protests and dealing with child psychologists trying to deal with very brainwashed kids and a manipulative, abusive mother.

342. Banning Conversion Therapy Would Be Disastrous - James Esses | Heretics podcast 7

James Esses explains why banning conversion therapy isn't as simple as it might seem. Most people in the UK and US believe that gay conversion is an abhorrent practice - and it is. However, the bill to ban conversion therapy has slipped in something totally different to one's sexuality - and it regards transgender ideology. James was canceled from him college because of his gender critical views - now he speaks out in favour of therapy to safeguard children. Follow James Esses on X: https://twit...

332. Cancel Culture & Comedy: Triggernometry's Francis Foster

I met with English comedian Francis Foster at the Battle of Ideas Festival in London, and we had a wonderful talk. We discussed the “cancel-culture” in comedy - and in general - and how being socially obligated to have an opinion affects the way we perceive ourselves and each other, in a bad way. Also a little bit on feminism and gender ideology comes up throughout our conversation.

After walking through a packed Pro-Palestine rally, I posted that I was scared. The overall reaction was one of concern and support to me, and I appreciate that. But many people insisted on telling me I shouldn’t be scared (in an angry way). After what happened in Dagestan, Russia, and the discovery today of the remains of Shani Louk, here’s why I am. #israel #jewish #palestine Learn more about your ad choices.
