585. I Beat Heroin and Prison - Then Got Cancelled for Talking to Tommy Robinson - Cullan Mais
Once a heroin addict and serial shoplifter who stole over £10 million worth of goods, Cullan Mais has turned his life around — only to be cancelled for daring to interview Tommy Robinson. In this explosive Heretics interview, Andrew Gold digs into Cullan’s raw journey from 12 prison sentences, collapsed lungs, and multiple rehabs to finding redemption, purpose, and controversy in a woke-obsessed Britain.

583. The UN’s Darkest Secret: Whistleblower Exposes Global S** Crimes
Is the United Nations one of the most corrupt organizations in the world? Former UN investigator Peter A. Gallo exposes shocking truths from inside the UN — from systemic sexual abuse, cover-ups, and moral hypocrisy, to its complicity in global conflicts. In this explosive Heretics interview, Peter reveals how peacekeepers exploited women and children, how UN staff helped terrorists like Hamas, and why the institution has lost all moral authority.

We discuss the UN’s dark underbelly, sexual exploitation scandals, the failure to protect victims, and the shocking corruption that runs from Congo to Gaza. Peter Gallo pulls no punches — accusing senior UN officials of turning a blind eye to atrocities and exposing how the UN has become a bureaucratic monster that profits from chaos.
If you’ve ever believed the UN was a force for good, this conversation will make you think again.

581. Leaked Emails Expose What Andrew & Epstein Were Hiding
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie joins me to dissect the newly leaked emails between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein — messages that appear to contradict Andrew’s own claims about cutting ties with Epstein years earlier. What do these emails really reveal about their friendship, the royal family’s inner workings, and the moral rot beneath the crown?

We explore how Fergie’s secret dealings with Epstein, the money trail behind royal debts, and the infamous Ghislaine Maxwell photo all tie into a much larger web of deceit and privilege. Could this finally be the scandal that ends Prince Andrew’s royal life — or even lands him in prison? And how do King Charles and Prince William handle a crisis that threatens the monarchy’s legitimacy itself?
Andrew Lownie — author of Traitor King and one of Britain’s most fearless royal historians — reveals how deep Epstein’s reach went, why powerful figures like Peter Mandelson keep appearing in the story, and whether the palace’s decades-long strategy of denial can still hold.
Watch as we uncover what this leak means for the future of the monarchy, the truth about accountability at the top, and the crumbling image of a once-untouchable royal family.

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 Konstantin Kisin and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to Robbie Williams and atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.
