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. -
A few years ago I was a broke, university dropout, at 18 I built an industry leading social media marketing company, and at 27 I resigned as CEO. At 28 I co-founded Flight Story – a marketing and communications company, and thirdweb - a software platform, making it easy to build web3 applications. I then launched private equity fund, Flight Fund, to accelerate the next generation of European unicorns. During this time I decided to launch 'The Diary Of A CEO' podcast with the simple mission of providing an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories and untold dimensions of the world’s most influential people, experts and thinkers. Thank you for listening.

Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) hosts a mind-bending real-life story of reincarnation and a spooky tale of family secrets. In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock makes a sensational prophecy: His dead daughters will be reborn. At first, even his own wife says heโs a crank. But then she gives birth to twin girls who have uncanny similarities to their sisters who died. Suddenly, the world sits up and takes notice. Pollockโs prophecy attracts the attention of a serious American scientist who crosses the Atlantic countless times to study the twins. And his conclusion is astonishing. So, what if death is only the beginning? Extrasensory goes in search of the two people who know the truthโthe twins themselves.
Extrasensory is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House. Follow and listen on Apple Podcasts.

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.
Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.
Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.

The show thatโs about sandwiches, but isnโt really about sandwiches.

Each week, join Henry and Jordan as they explore daily life through their obsession with sandwiches โ from bringing in sandwiches to the recording to seeking out treasures and the most celebrated sandwiches in the UK.
Whether youโre a food critic like Henry or just love food like Jordan โ everyone can be an expert when it comes to a sandwich.

In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.
British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, theyโre all about power.
But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage.
Who was really to blame for what happened? Why did they do it? And when all is said and done, did anything really change?
From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss. Because sometimes the truth doesnโt set everyone freeโฆ

Football hooliganism is a dirty phrase in England. Say it and people will think of the 80s โ the dark old days. Today, those terraces look very different. But the stories โ of organised fights, of pub brawls, of banning orders โ havenโt gone away.
We see them everywhere on our social media timelines: a steady stream of violence swallowed by smartphones and regurgitated for hungry eyes online. This series digs deeper โ beyond the stereotypes and tabloid headlines โ to understand this violent subculture and why itโs forced its way back into our society in 2024.
Embedded in our national sport, this is a story of class consciousness, rebellion, and adventure turning to embittered violence, tribalism, and greed. It is a story of what happens when society disenfranchises its people, dismantles its social structures, and pits them against one another.
This is the untold story of The English Disease.
From Stak, this is Season Two of the award-winning Legacy. Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter.

Each episode they’ll chat to a guest who’ll share their experience of ADHD, whether from the point of view of being diagnosed themselves, as a parent or a specialist in the field. Fellow ADHDer guests include Rory Bremner, Denise Welch, Gemma Styles, Dr Alex George, Shaparak Khorshandi, Shaun Ryder and many more.

Join Vogue Williams & Joanne McNally for a weekly chat with 100% honesty guaranteed."My Therapist Ghosted Me" is the result of Joanne's therapist doing just that! Ignoring her calls, refusing to answer the door at the clinic, or speak to her after she'd tracked him down at Enfield crematorium as he scattered his Aunt's ashes. Despite it all, itโs often said that friends give the best therapy so Vogue & Joanne have teamed up to do exactly that (alongside a generous helping of laughter as that too is said to be the best form of therapy). Together they will give 100% unqualified, unsubstantiated but up front and honest advice on the plethora of issues they and many others continue to grapple with.If you'd like to get in touch, you can send an email to [email protected] live shows, merch and more, visit mytherapistghostedme.comPlease review Global's Privacy Policy: https://global.com/legal/privacy-policy/For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: [email protected]
