Sobre este título

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 Konstantin Kisin and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to Robbie Williams and atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.Andrew Gold Ciências Sociais

  • 593. Inside The Muslim Brotherhood's 100-Year-Plan - Extremism Expert Charles Asher Small
    Nov 27 2025
    Andrew Gold sits down with Charles Asher Small, one of the world’s leading experts on extremism, to unpack a warning 50 years in the making. According to Small, the ideological project launched by the Muslim Brotherhood nearly a century ago is now at its midpoint—and the next 50 years could determine the fate of Western democracy itself.

He outlines the ideological alliance he calls the “Red-Green” coalition—a convergence between radical left movements seeking to dismantle Western power structures and Islamist groups pursuing their own anti-democratic aims. We examine: - How countries like Jordan and the UAE have banned the Muslim Brotherhood - Whether the West is “sleeping through a revolution” - The UK’s staggering 40,000 individuals on its jihadist watchlist - The moral crisis facing Western leadership - The real-world implications for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, religious minorities, and democratic freedoms - And the urgent question many are afraid to ask: Is a certain strain of political Islam fundamentally incompatible with Western liberal values? Despite the stark warnings, Small is clear: the vast majority of Muslims are decent, peaceful people who simply want to live normal lives. The danger, he argues, lies in extremist ideologies—not ordinary believers. This is a gripping, high-stakes conversation about geopolitics, ideology, security, and the future of the free world. As Small puts it: “We are sleeping through the revolution. It is time for us to wake up.” #HereticsPodcast #islamism #WesternValuesUnderThreat Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics #GenderDebate #TransDiscussion #HereticsPodcast Chapters: 0:00 Charles Asher Small Highlights 1:10 How the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating the West 7:54 Are some religions more violent than others? 19:02 Should refugees be tested on their views? 19:55 What we can learn from the UAE to keep Islamic extremism under control 25:20 How the UK is being taken through democratic means 28:42 Can we distinguish between extreme Islamism and Islam 39:20 Is the radical right being funded by Qatar? 46:30 What the West needs to do to fight back Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 592. This Trans Debate Went Off the Rails - Dr. Helen Webberley vs Andrew Gold
    Nov 23 2025
    In this explosive debate episode of Heretics, Andrew sits down with Dr. Helen Webberley, one of the most controversial figures in the transgender healthcare world, for a brutally honest, high-stakes conversation about sex, gender, science, identity, mental health, and the limits of self-identification.

Dr. Webberley defends her position with conviction, arguing that being transgender is not a mental illness, while Andrew challenges the logic behind gender identity, the distinction between sex and gender, and whether ideologies around self-identification can withstand scientific scrutiny. The debate covers everything from whether transgender people are “real,” to comparisons with anorexia, to whether someone could “identify as a table,” to the emotional and ethical concerns around treating children, puberty blockers, detransitioners, medical evidence, and why so many celebrities have trans-identifying kids. At moments deeply uncomfortable, at moments shockingly frank, this episode exposes the core disagreements shaping the modern gender debate — and does so without cutting corners. If you want to understand the arguments, the science, the accusations of pseudoscience, the worldview differences, and why this conversation is tearing society apart, this is the episode to watch. A fearless conversation at the edge of culture, medicine, and truth.

  • 591. The BBC Betrayed Diana: The Shocking Truth About The Bashir Scandal
    Nov 19 2025
    In this explosive episode of Heretics, investigative journalist Andy Webb joins us to uncover the extraordinary story behind Princess Diana, Martin Bashir, and the BBC’s most controversial interview in history.

Were the consequences more devastating than anyone imagined? Webb explores the shocking possibility that without that interview, Diana might be alive today, living quietly as a grandmother at 64. We dig into the biggest unanswered questions: - Who was Martin Bashir—and how did he get so close to Diana and Michael Jackson? - How did forged bank statements open the gates of Kensington Palace? - What was Diana told that terrified her into believing people at the highest levels wanted her dead? - Why did she record what was essentially her “last will and testament”? - How did a bodyguard she cared about die only months after their relationship? - What did the BBC know—and when did they know it? - Why did the corporation spend over £1 million of licence fee money to stop Webb’s investigations? Andy Webb reveals how Diana felt duped, hoaxed, and frightened, how rumours involving Tiggy Legge-Bourke spiralled out of control, and how the BBC’s internal decisions continue to raise questions about accountability, leadership, and the culture that allowed Bashir’s behavior to go unchecked. If you want to understand the real story behind the Bashir scandal, the BBC cover-up, and the chain of events that reshaped the Royal Family forever, this is the episode you can't miss. #PrincessDiana #MartinBashir #BBCScandal Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Learn more about your ad choices.
