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. -
Hi, I'm Brad Reid, I love Cape Breton fiddle music, and I "play well with others" (said all of my school teachers except for the first, who said I had an attitude problem). I have my own story of how I connect with this music, and I love to hear other people’s stories. They may be mostly fiddlers ('cause that's how I roll), but there will also be guitar players, piano players, dancers, and anyone else whose path I cross. Why me? I’ve played music around the world - from ceilidhs, to cruise ships, to Cirque du Soleil - and found I can relate to just about anyone. : ) Attitude problem my foot!

The Shetland Islands are situated in the North Sea 200 miles north of Aberdeen, Scotland and 250 miles west of Bergin, Norway. They consist of 100 islands, with only about a dozen of them inhabited. Its weather gets a bad rap but its people are intensely hospitable and neighbourly.
In April 2002, a small group of enthusiasts - Jack, Irene, Barbara and Nan – first gathered to explore the possibility of creating a regular radio programme. Nervous at their lack of radio experience as producers, they wondered if they would measure up. Over the months, as they got to grips with broadcasting, the local café kept them buoyed with coffee and muffins as they met to discuss programme ideas and confidence slowly grew.
There was a hunger in the community for contact with stories and people from The Shetlands. People wanted to gain an understanding about their family histories, so the backing of the local Shetland Society was key.
Irene was the authority on Shetland music so listeners got to know some fantastic modern groups who rode the wave of the renaissance of fiddling music. Barbara went on a huge learning curve and made connections with her island-dwelling great, great grandmother. Both Nan's parents immigrated to NZ in 1922 and she visited Shetland four times – each time in a different season. For Nan, doing the programme is "like giving something back for the fantastic upbringing my mother and father gave me – including the great pride in our strange heritage."
“Don’t just talk about the past....” was the message given very strongly from the organisation.
The Shetland character is very droll so over the years the team has included fun pieces about life in Shetland today (bizarre cricket matches, letters from “home” and even the Unst bustop), themes matching NZ celebrations like July’s KidsFest when they linked in with children, grand-children or even great grandchildren. Stories, poetry and recollections from both world wars abound.
Visitors to the city are snapped up if they have Shetland connections, and the hope is to one day interview ex-Prime Minister Helen Clarke – she had a great uncle.. The aim is to get a balance between nostalgia pieces and contemporary issues, experiences and music. -
Neil Young, the legendary Canadian-American singer, songwriter, and musician, has had a remarkable career spanning over six decades. Known for his distinctive voice, introspective lyrics, and fearless activism, Young has left an indelible mark on the world of music and beyond. In this comprehensive biography, we will delve into the life and times of Neil Young, from his humble beginnings to his recent controversies with Spotify.
Early Life and Musical Beginnings Neil Percival Young was born on November 12, 1945, in Toronto, Canada. His father, Scott Alexander Young, was a renowned Canadian journalist and sportswriter, while his mother, Edna Blow Ragland "Rassy" Young, was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Young's early life was marked by frequent moves, as his family relocated several times due to his father's work.
Young's love for music began at an early age. He was fascinated by the ukulele and plastic guitars his father brought home from his travels. By the time he was a teenager, Young had taught himself to play guitar and was already writing his own songs. He joined his first band, The Jades, in high school and later formed The Squires, which played gigs around Winnipeg and Ontario.
In 1963, Young moved to Toronto to pursue his musical career. He befriended Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, who would later become his bandmates in Buffalo Springfield. Young also met folk singer Joni Mitchell during this time, and the two became romantically involved for a brief period.
Buffalo Springfield and Early Success In 1966, Young and Stephen Stills formed Buffalo Springfield, along with Richie Furay, Bruce Palmer, and Dewey Martin. The band's unique blend of folk, rock, and country influences quickly gained them a dedicated following. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1966, featured the hit song "For What It's Worth," which became an anthem for the counterculture movement.
Despite the success of Buffalo Springfield, tensions within the band led to Young's departure in 1968. He released his self-titled solo debut album later that year, which showcased his distinctive voice and songwriting style. The album featured the song "The Loner," which would become a staple of Young's live performances.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Following his departure from Buffalo Springfield, Young joined forces with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY). The band's 1969 debut album, "Dรฉjร Vu," was a massive critical and commercial success, featuring classic songs like "Helpless" and "Teach Your Children."
CSNY's success was short-lived, however, as personal and creative differences led to the band's breakup in 1970. Young continued to collaborate with members of the group throughout his career, but the magic of their initial partnership was never fully recaptured.
Solo Career and Collaborations In the 1970s, Young embarked on a prolific solo career, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums that showcased his evolving musical style and lyrical depth. "After the Gold Rush" (1970), "Harvest" (1972), and "Tonight's the Night" (1975) are considered some of his finest works from this period.
"After the Gold Rush" was a turning point in Young's career, establishing him as a major force in the singer-songwriter movement. The album featured some of his most enduring songs, including the title track, "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," and "Southern Man," which addressed racism in the American South. The album's mix of folk, rock, and country influences, combined with Young's plaintive vocals and introspective lyrics, set the template for much of his later work.
"Harvest," released in 1972, was an even greater commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. The album featured the hit singles "Heart of Gold" and "Old Man," which became two of Young's most beloved songs. "Harvest" showcased Young's ability to craft simple, melodic songs that resonated with a wide audience, while still maintaining his distinctive voice and perspective.
"Tonight's the Night," released in 1975, was a darker and more haunting album, inspired by the drug-related deaths of two of Young's friends, roadie Bruce Berry and Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten. The album's raw, unpolished sound and emotionally charged lyrics were a departure from the more accessible style of "Harvest," but it remains one of Young's most powerful and influential works.
Young's collaborations with other artists also contributed to his growing legend. He worked with Linda Ronstadt on her album "Heart Like a Wheel" (1974) and toured with The Band in 1974. Young's 1975 album "Tonight's the Night" featured a backing band called The Santa Monica Flyers, which included Nils Lofgren and Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina.
In 1976, Young reunited with Stephen Stills to record the album "Long May You Run." The album's title track became a hit single and remains a beloved classic in Young's discography.
Activism and Political Involvement Throughout his career, Neil Young has been known for his outspoken political views and activism. He has been a vocal critic of war, environmental destruction, and corporate greed, using his music as a platform to raise awareness about social and political issues.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Young was a prominent figure in the anti-war movement, writing songs like "Ohio" (1970) in response to the Kent State shootings. He also participated in benefit concerts for various causes, including Farm Aid and the Bridge School Benefit, which he co-founded with his then-wife, Pegi Young, to support children with severe speech and physical impairments.
In recent years, Young has been an advocate for environmental causes, particularly the fight against climate change. He has been critical of the fossil fuel industry and has supported renewable energy initiatives. In 2015, he released the album "The Monsanto Years," which criticized the agricultural giant Monsanto and its use of genetically modified crops and pesticides.
Young's activism has not been limited to his music. In 2014, he publicly supported the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation in their legal battle against the expansion of the Alberta Tar Sands. He has also been a vocal supporter of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in their fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
In addition to his environmental activism, Young has been a strong advocate for disability rights. He has spoken openly about his own experiences with epilepsy and has supported various organizations that work to improve the lives of people with disabilities. In 1986, he co-founded the Bridge School, a non-profit organization that provides education to children with severe speech and physical impairments.
Young has also been involved in Indigenous rights activism, supporting the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016. He released the song "Indian Givers" in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's fight against the pipeline's construction.
Recent Controversies with Spotify In January 2022, Neil Young made headlines when he demanded that his music be removed from the streaming platform Spotify. Young's decision was in response to the platform's support of Joe Rogan, a popular podcast host who had been criticized for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines.
In a letter to his management team and record label, Young stated, "I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines โ potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them. Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule."
Young's ultimatum to Spotify was a bold move that sparked a broader conversation about the responsibility of streaming platforms to moderate content and combat misinformation. Other artists, including Joni Mitchell and Nils Lofgren, followed Young's lead and removed their music from Spotify in solidarity.
Spotify ultimately chose to keep Joe Rogan's podcast on its platform but added content advisory warnings to episodes that discussed COVID-19. The company also pledged to invest $100 million in licensing, development, and marketing of music and audio content from historically marginalized groups.
Young's decision to remove his music from Spotify was a principled stand that reflected his longstanding commitment to social and political activism. It also highlighted the growing power of artists to influence corporate decision-making and hold platforms accountable for the content they host.
The controversy sparked a wider debate about the role of streaming platforms in shaping public discourse and the responsibility of artists to use their platforms responsibly. Some praised Young for taking a stand against misinformation, while others criticized him for censorship and limiting free speech.
Regardless of one's views on the issue, there is no denying that Young's decision to remove his music from Spotify was a significant moment in the ongoing debate over the power and influence of technology companies in the digital age. It also underscored the importance of artists using their platforms to advocate for causes they believe in, even if it means sacrificing commercial success or popularity.
Musical Legacy and Influence Neil Young's impact on music and popular culture cannot be overstated. His unique voice, introspective lyrics, and genre-defying style have inspired generations of musicians and fans alike. Young's influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from Pearl Jam and Radiohead to Beck and The War on Drugs.
Young's fearless experimentation and willingness to take risks have also been a hallmark of his career. He has never been afraid to challenge c -
