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. -
Uncovering the Secrets of the Universe: A Cosmic Journey The universe, an awe-inspiring expanse of stars, galaxies, and mysteries, has captured the imagination of humanity for millennia. In our quest to understand the cosmos, we've made astounding discoveries that have expanded our knowledge of the universe's origins, evolution, and its most enigmatic components. Join us on a cosmic journey as we delve into the fascinating realm of astronomy and astrophysics, uncovering some of the universe's best-kept secrets. The Cosmic Symphony One of the most profound revelations in the study of the universe is the concept of the Big Bang. This cosmic explosion, estimated to have occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, set the universe into motion. It's not just an explosion, though, but a symphony of creation, where time, space, and matter were born. This astonishing revelation revolutionized our understanding of the universe's origins and led to the development of the Big Bang Theory. Dark Matter and Dark Energy: The Enigmatic Duo Among the universe's deepest secrets are dark matter and dark energy, two enigmatic entities that constitute the vast majority of the cosmos. Dark matter, invisible and undetectable by conventional means, exerts gravitational forces that shape the formation of galaxies. Dark energy, on the other hand, is a mysterious force responsible for the universe's accelerated expansion. The nature of these phenomena remains an open question, challenging physicists and cosmologists alike. Black Holes: Cosmic Swallowers Black holes, often described as the universe's vacuum cleaners, are fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. These regions of extreme gravitational pull are formed when massive stars collapse under their own weight. Anything that crosses the event horizon, the point of no return, is forever trapped. Black holes challenge the very fabric of space and time and have left scientists with a wealth of questions yet to be answered. Alien Worlds: Exoplanets and the Search for Life The search for life beyond Earth is a cosmic quest that has captivated astronomers. The discovery of exoplanets, planets outside our solar system, has fueled our optimism. Some of these distant worlds are located in the habitable zone, where conditions might be suitable for life as we know it. The study of exoplanets, their atmospheres, and the search for biosignatures are ongoing efforts that could ultimately answer the age-old question: Are we alone in the universe? Recent breakthroughs in the study of exoplanets, such as the development of advanced telescopes and space missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, have brought us closer to detecting potentially habitable planets and signs of life. The discovery of extremophiles on Earth, organisms that thrive in extreme conditions, has expanded our understanding of where life might exist in the universe. These discoveries, combined with the detection of water on other celestial bodies, have raised the tantalizing possibility of life beyond our planet. Contact with Alien Life Forms: A Cosmic Dream While the quest for extraterrestrial life remains a scientific and philosophical pursuit, it's essential to acknowledge the possibility of contact with alien life forms. With the discovery of exoplanets, scientists are searching for exoplanets that could potentially support life. If we detect biosignaturesโindicators of lifeโon another world, it would be a groundbreaking revelation. However, contact with intelligent alien civilizations presents a unique set of challenges and ethical considerations. Initiatives like the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) use radio telescopes to scan the cosmos for potential signals from advanced civilizations. While intriguing signals have been detected, none have been confirmed as originating from extraterrestrial intelligence. The idea of receiving a signal or making contact with an alien civilization is both exciting and filled with uncertainties. How would we communicate? What knowledge could they share, and what might we learn from them? The Future of Cosmic Exploration As technology advances and our understanding of the universe deepens, we can only imagine the cosmic revelations yet to come. The development of powerful telescopes, observatories, and space missions promises to uncover even more secrets of the universe, from gravitational waves to the exploration of distant celestial bodies. The cosmic journey is an ongoing, ever-evolving quest. In conclusion, our cosmic journey is a testament to human curiosity, ingenuity, and the desire to unravel the mysteries of the universe. As we continue to peer into the cosmos, the secrets we uncover not only broaden our understanding of the universe but also remind us of our place in this vast, interconnected web of stars and galaxies. The universe, with its enigmas and wonders, continues to inspire and drive our exploration of the cosmos, reminding us that the journey is as important as the destination. The potential for contact with alien life forms adds an exciting dimension to this journey, one that keeps our gaze fixed on the stars in hope and wonder.

In more than a decade of training and clinical practice as a psychiatrist, I've become increasingly disillusioned by the American healthcare system. It prioritizes profit over progress at the expense of OUR health. The average American spends almost twice as much on healthcare as the next highest spending country, yet our life expectancy drags four years behind other industrialized nations and ranks OUTSIDE the top 50 in the world. The system is a disaster, yet it's broadcast as 'the greatest healthcare system in the world.' Renegade Psych wants to return medicine's focus to PROGRESS OVER PROFIT, and limit the influence and power of the pharmaceutical industry and big business entities, whose primary motivations are financial in nature.
This conversational podcast is released monthly via SERIES on particular topics. There are 8-12 SEGMENTS, or episodes, per topic. I interview internationally-recognized experts in their fields AND relatively unknown, up-and-coming healthcare providers. Hopefully, we can educate patients AND providers about our medical system (especially mental health), so they can make better and more informed healthcare decisions. -

In a world that often dismisses the extraordinary as mere fantasy, The Telepathy Tapes dares to explore the profound abilities of non-speakers with autismโindividuals who have long been misunderstood and underestimated. These silent communicators possess gifts that defy conventional understanding, from telepathy to otherworldly perceptions, challenging the limits of what we believe to be real. For years, their parents and teachers have quietly witnessed these remarkable abilities, knowing that the time to share their truth would eventually come. But now, as the evidence mounts, the time has come to reveal what has been hidden in plain sight.
This groundbreaking series challenges everything we think we know about communication and the human mind, inviting viewers to step into a reality where the impossible is not only possible but happening every day. Through emotional stories and undeniable evidence, The Telepathy Tapes offers a fresh perspective on the profound connections that exist beyond words.
