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 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 Social Sciences

Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at https://mintmobile.com/heretics In this continuation on HERETICS, Anneke describes how “networks” protect themselves, why major cases can collapse into a convenient “lone villain” narrative, and what “programming” looks like from the inside — including the psychological mechanics of coercion, obedience, shame, and control. We also explore how people judge credibility, why survivors are often dismissed, and the long road from dissociation to rebuilding a real sense of self. If you watched Part 1, this is the missing second half — the part that answers: how it stayed hidden, who benefits, and what healing actually takes. #AnnekeLucas #Heretics #TrueStories 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: 00:00 “Days-Long Parties” & the Claim That Nobody Was Touchable 03:00 The Famous Names Question (and Why It’s Complicated) 06:00 The Belgian Case That “Became One Man” 09:00 What “Programming” Means (Fast Behaviour Change Through Trauma) 12:00 The Moment She Started Resisting 15:00 Why People Think They Can Spot a Liar (and Why They Can’t) 18:00 “No-Fail Training” vs. the “Fail Program” 21:00 The Induction Moment (What She Says Broke Her) 24:00 The Turn: From Pride to Rejection 27:00 “She Looked Like Me” — The Detail That Haunts Her 30:00 How She Learned to Trust Again 33:00 The Rules That Saved Her Life (and Why They Were So Specific) 36:00 Psychopathy, Power, and Why the Worst Rise Fast 39:00 “The Fun Is in Secret” — The Psychology of Hidden Worlds 42:00 Is This Still Happening Today? 45:00 Disinfo, False Claims, and How Truth Gets Buried 48:00 Her Memoir, Her Mission, and the Heretic She Admires Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 598. Geoff Norcott: “The Truth Is, I Probably Did Self-Censor”

    598. Geoff Norcott: “The Truth Is, I Probably Did Self-Censor”
    Dec 15 2025
    🔥 Geoff Norcott on Comedy, Brexit, the BBC, Men’s Issues & Why Comedy Lost Its Balls 🔥 In this explosive episode of Heretics, I’m joined by comedian, writer and broadcaster Geoff Norcott — often described as the only conservative comedian allowed on the BBC — for a brutally honest conversation about comedy, politics, culture wars and free speech.

Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at https://mintmobile.com/heretics Geoff opens up about voting Leave, being labelled a “token Tory”, navigating BBC comedy, and why the 2010s broke comedy through fear, self-censorship and ideological purity. We talk about Brexit, cancel culture, topical comedy, Mock the Week, The Mash Report, and what really happens behind the scenes at the BBC. We also dive deep into: - Why 98% of comedians lean left - How Brexit changed everything in British comedy - Self-censorship, fear, and why comics stopped taking risks - The Ava Santina / Politics Live moment and the fallout - Men’s mental health, male identity, and whether we need a Minister for Men - Why discussions about men get derailed — and who benefits - Class, working-class voices, and BBC “diversity” panels - Why comedy works best when left and right actually clash - Why podcasts replaced TV as the home of honest comedy - Whether comedy has finally got its balls back Geoff also reflects on Laurence Fox, GB News, cancel culture on the right and left, and why ideological purity is killing real conversation. This is a rare, long-form discussion that doesn’t shout slogans — it actually thinks.
