Chris makes a passionate case for the value of an independent BBC, defending public broadcasting and pushing back on claims that it has been overtaken by progressive ideology. Andrew presents the counterargument, questioning whether woke culture, cancel culture, and narrowing viewpoints have created an unbalanced media landscape. The episode takes a deeper turn as they explore the trans conversation, with Chris emphasising empathy and tolerance while Andrew raises concerns about underreported stories, regret, and editorial responsibility. From there, they tackle immigration vs migration, the humanitarian crises driving movement across borders, and whether multiculturalism genuinely benefits modern Britain. This is not a clash — it’s a rare, honest examination of how two people with different worldviews can challenge each other, listen, and still find common ground. Thought-provoking, uncomfortable, and refreshing in equal measure, this episode is essential viewing for anyone interested in free speech, media accountability, political culture, social change, and the future of public debate. Watch to the end for Chris’s urgent message about the greatest threat facing humanity — and why we’re distracted from it. #ChrisPackham #AndrewGold #WokeDebate  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 Learn more about your ad choices.

• 595. Gen Z Debate Champion Vs Me: The Truth About Tommy Robinson, Charlie Kirk & the "Far-Right" - Tilly Middlehurst

  In this explosive episode, Andrew sits down with the brilliant Tilly Middlehurst, the Cambridge student bizarrely blamed online for Charlie Kirk’s death after publicly criticising his rhetoric. What follows is one of the most intense, wide-ranging culture-war conversations we’ve ever had on the channel.

Follow her on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tilllllly.y X: https://x.com/blondepraxis TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blondepraxis  Tilly breaks down the online witch-hunt she faced, the accusations from both Right and Left, and the bizarre moment when progressives turned on her simply for saying that celebrating someone’s death is wrong. We dive into why certain violent sentiments seem “acceptable” in progressive circles, the growing trend of Left-wing intolerance, and the moral hypocrisy surrounding political violence. We also go deep into the debates that made Tilly infamous: • Tommy Robinson – is he really “Right-wing,” and why does that label get thrown around without explanation? • Nationalism – why nationalism has historically been associated with the Left, and the difference between civic nationalism and Christian nationalism. • Culture vs Religion – from patriarchy in Islamic countries to whether oppression is cultural, legal, or both. • Gender, feminism, and whether patriarchy is “natural” – including controversial ideas many are now too scared to say out loud. • Race, IQ, immigration, and why older people move to the Right – uncomfortable questions most mainstream platforms refuse to touch. • Why some Jewish Brits feel unsafe, rising antisemitism, and why mass immigration makes these conversations unavoidable. Tilly also opens up about the backlash from her own side, the pressure to conform to progressive groupthink at university, and why she believes many young people will eventually shift Right as they grow up. If you’re tired of the scripted culture-war soundbites and want a raw, unfiltered confrontation of ideas—from religion to race, nationalism to gender, and the political hypocrisy no one else will acknowledge—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 🔥 Topics: free speech, political violence, Left-wing extremism, Tommy Robinson debate, nationalism, Islam & culture, feminism vs biology, race & immigration, antisemitism, eugenics discourse, why nations fail, mass immigration politics, media bias (BBC vs GB News), the Groypers, Quran vs Bible, asylum system failures, Sudan double standards, and more.

• 594. I Built Ted Baker - Then Got Taken Down Over Hugs? - Ray Kelvin FINALLY Speaks Out

  In this rare and deeply personal conversation, Ray Kelvin - founder of global fashion brand Ted Baker — breaks his silence for the first time. After decades of avoiding interviews, he speaks openly about the rise of Ted Baker, the culture he built, the controversies that ended his tenure, and the emotional cost of losing the company he created.

He discusses criticism over physical boundaries, workplace culture, PR practices, and long-running myths that surrounded him — including stories about hugs, neck-stroking claims, alleged whispering, lap-sitting rumours, and more. This conversation also explores his leadership style, the pressures of running a public company, how quickly public sentiment can shift, and the human consequences of Ted Baker’s collapse. Ray describes the impact on thousands of employees, the strain on his personal life, and the condition that affected his hands during the period everything changed. He also reflects on difficult moments — confrontations, workplace expectations, and accusations from former staff — sharing his own recollections and regrets. In one of the interview’s most striking moments, Ray speaks about the emotional toll, the cultural climate at the time, and why he believes the world “changed overnight.” Candid, uncomfortable, and surprising, this is the first time Ray Kelvin has ever told the full story of what happened — in his own words. #TedBaker #RayKelvin #Heretics 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: 0:00 Ray Kelvin Highlights 1:20 Why Ray Kelvin is Speaking Now 4:20 Why Ted Baker Had NO Private Offices 5:20 Who Actually Was Ted Baker? 9:35 The Fascinating Stories of Ted Baker 13:35 Ted Baker Went Public…Scrutiny 20:35 The Truth About The Hugs 22:20 The Organise Petition 25:35 Andrew Reached Out To Organise 29:05 Accusations: Whispering In Ears 32:35 Press-Ups When Late? 35:35 Pushing Employee Up Against The Wall 38:35 The Dirty Joke Business Card 41:35 Not One Person Said This 45:35 Glassdoor’s Rating 48:05 Witch Hunt For Jewish Bosses? 49:05 Lumped In With Philip Green 52:35 Different Times 54:35 Taking Care Of Sick Employee 56:35 The Woman Sat On Ray’s Lap? 59:35 Offence Culture 1:01:35 How Difficult This Was For Ray 1:06:45 A Heretic Ray Kelvin Admires Learn more about your ad choices.

• 593. Inside The Muslim Brotherhood's 100-Year-Plan - Extremism Expert Charles Asher Small

  Andrew Gold sits down with Charles Asher Small, one of the world’s leading experts on extremism, to unpack a warning 50 years in the making. According to Small, the ideological project launched by the Muslim Brotherhood nearly a century ago is now at its midpoint—and the next 50 years could determine the fate of Western democracy itself.

He outlines the ideological alliance he calls the “Red-Green” coalition—a convergence between radical left movements seeking to dismantle Western power structures and Islamist groups pursuing their own anti-democratic aims. We examine: - How countries like Jordan and the UAE have banned the Muslim Brotherhood - Whether the West is “sleeping through a revolution” - The UK’s staggering 40,000 individuals on its jihadist watchlist - The moral crisis facing Western leadership - The real-world implications for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, religious minorities, and democratic freedoms - And the urgent question many are afraid to ask: Is a certain strain of political Islam fundamentally incompatible with Western liberal values? Despite the stark warnings, Small is clear: the vast majority of Muslims are decent, peaceful people who simply want to live normal lives. The danger, he argues, lies in extremist ideologies—not ordinary believers. This is a gripping, high-stakes conversation about geopolitics, ideology, security, and the future of the free world. As Small puts it: “We are sleeping through the revolution. It is time for us to wake up.” #HereticsPodcast #islamism #WesternValuesUnderThreat  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: 0:00 Charles Asher Small Highlights 1:10 How the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating the West 7:54 Are some religions more violent than others? 19:02 Should refugees be tested on their views? 19:55 What we can learn from the UAE to keep Islamic extremism under control 25:20 How the UK is being taken through democratic means 28:42 Can we distinguish between extreme Islamism and Islam 39:20 Is the radical right being funded by Qatar? 46:30 What the West needs to do to fight back Learn more about your ad choices.
