    The Revolution Already Happened. You Just Didn’t Notice | Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo

    12/11/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    What if Britain's revolution has already happened, and the most

    dangerous part is still to come?

    FOLLOW RAFE HEYDEL-MANKOO: https://www.youtube.com/@UCuYHZz4-qdDSPNvuCfN4wMQ

    https://x.com/RafHM

    Historian and broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joins Andrew Gold on

    Heretics for a discussion about Britain's future, its forgotten

    history, mass immigration, and the cultural revolution he believes has

    quietly transformed the country.

    On Remembrance Day, as Britain honours those who fought and died for

    their country, Rafe asks a disturbing question: Are we losing the very

    nation they fought to defend?

    From the proposed removal of Winston Churchill from Britain's

    banknotes to the rewriting of British history, Rafe argues that a

    decades-long transformation of Britain's national identity has already

    taken place, and most people haven't even noticed.

    But who is responsible? And can it be reversed?

    Andrew and Rafe explore the influence of Tony Blair, cultural Marxism,

    multiculturalism, woke ideology and the British education system.

    Andrew even uncovers an old university essay containing a surprising

    reading list featuring Judith Butler, Michel Foucault and queer

    theory.

    The conversation takes a darker turn as Rafe examines the possibility

    of civil unrest in Britain, tensions involving radical Islam and white

    nationalism, and whether the UK could experience the kind of violence

    seen elsewhere in Europe.

    They also discuss mass deportations, remigration, the asylum system,

    Reform UK, Restore Britain, Kemi Badenoch and the Conservative Party —

    before Rafe delivers a stark prediction about Britain's next general

    election.

    And for Americans watching, Rafe has a warning: If this can happen to

    Britain, could the United States be next?

    Is Britain facing an irreversible cultural transformation, or is there

    still time to change its course?

    I Exposed Russell Brand. But He's Just The Start | Daniel Sloss

    07/11/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    Daniel Sloss was warned that speaking out about Russell Brand could cost him his career—so why did he do it? And who else was involved?

    Follow Daniel Sloss here: https://www.instagram.com/danielsloss
    Check out his live shows: https://danielsloss.com/tour

    The comedian joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to discuss the Russell Brand documentary, the rumours he heard on the comedy scene since he was 19, and the people who tried to talk him out of speaking publicly. But was Brand the only comedian he was hearing stories about?

    Sloss explains why his stand-up show X made staying silent feel hypocritical. Andrew challenges him on Brand’s intelligence, grooming gangs, media bias and religion—and asks how much anyone should risk by speaking up.

    Then the conversation gets personal: Netflix success, the loneliness of touring, alcohol, cannabis and recovery. Why didn’t the love of an audience help Sloss like himself—and what is the one thing he doesn’t want to pass on to his son?

    Laurence Fox: My Family Feud & Why Benedict Cumberbatch Won't Look At Me

    05/11/2026 | 1h 23 mins.
    Laurence Fox says Benedict Cumberbatch won’t look at him. Then he tells me what happened with his own brother…

    The Lewis actor joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to discuss the political expectations inside the acting industry—and why he believes actors have “two scripts”: the one they perform on screen and the one they must repeat to keep working.

    Laurence describes his encounters with Benedict Cumberbatch, the pressure on his cousin Emilia Fox to answer questions about him, and the divisions within his famous acting family. He also opens up about missing acting and the moment he decided he could no longer keep being fake.We revisit his BBC Question Time appearance, the Meghan Markle controversy and the backlash that followed. We discuss Robert De Niro, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Hollywood politics and the double standards Laurence sees in celebrity activism.

    Plus, Laurence explains how he devised his Oxford Union envelope stunt—and reveals why the battered acting award he brought into the studio carries a story about an old friendship.What does refusing to follow the script cost an actor: work, friendships, family—or all three?

    Should an actor’s political opinions affect whether they get hired? Let us know in the comments.

    The Right Is Fighting the Wrong Enemy | Young Bob

    02/11/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    I told Young Bob I thought Britain was finished. Then I asked how far he’d go to save it…

    Young Bob joins Andrew Gold for a revealing interview about English identity, mass immigration, Christianity and Britain’s future. From Charlie Kirk-style campus debates to his support for Restore Britain, the 18-year-old activist explains his political beliefs—and where he thinks Reform UK is going wrong.

    What makes someone English: ancestry, culture or generations of belonging? What would remigration and mass deportation actually involve? And what happens if people refuse to leave?

    Bob describes six arrests, the impact of attacks and threats on his family, and why having an identical twin makes his public life even more complicated. He also discusses autism, loneliness and the support he has found in his fiancée, faith and community.

    Our conversation takes a deeply personal turn before we tackle abortion, the pro-life argument and how becoming a parent can challenge your convictions.

    Where do you agree with Young Bob—and what would you challenge him on? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe for more interviews.
