People Think I Was Canceled. I Wasn't - Sopranos Star Drea De Matteo
Drea de Matteo says she wasn’t cancelled. Then she reveals what her agent did… Check out Drea's brilliant show: https://www.youtube.com/@TheULTRAFREEPodcast The Sopranos star Drea de Matteo joins Andrew Gold on Heretics for an unfiltered interview about Hollywood, cancel culture, vaccine mandates and the cost of refusing to play along. Best known as Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos and for her role in Sons of Anarchy, Drea describes being dropped by her agent without a phone call, facing foreclosure and turning to OnlyFans. But the question she says she was asked while caring for the woman who raised her takes this conversation somewhere much darker. We discuss Donald Trump, RFK Jr, Robert De Niro and why Drea questions Hollywood’s celebrity political endorsements. She also reveals her surprising first Sopranos paycheque and what happened when a harness snapped during a violent scene. Plus, Drea shares her views on geoengineering, religion and institutional power — before we confront what people actually mean when they call Hollywood “demonic”. How much should someone have to sacrifice to keep working in Hollywood?

Milo Yiannopoulos Tries to Take Over My Show
After an hour of clashing with Milo Yiannopoulos, I ask one personal question - and the conversation takes an unexpected turn… Follow Milo: https://x.com/Nero Milo Yiannopoulos joins Andrew Gold on Heretics for a heated, often hilarious interview about his claims on his own preferences, his changing views on Islam, and why he regrets helping Donald Trump win in 2016. We clash over gay adoption, religion, free speech, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. I challenge Milo’s sweeping claims and ask where the jokes end and his real beliefs begin. We also discuss MAGA, conspiracy theories, and his account of being deported from America despite supporting ICE. Between the arguments and insults, there’s a more personal conversation about childhood, loneliness and whether making other people laugh has ever made Milo happy. Where do you think Milo is being sincere - and where is he deliberately provoking a reaction? Let me know in the comments.

I Know These Two Things | Warren Smith
Warren Smith told me death isn’t final. Then he told me the second thing he’s certain of... Warren Smith became known for questioning a student’s beliefs about J.K. Rowling. In this interview, I turn that same scrutiny on his own beliefs about God, Christianity and what happens when we die. Follow Warren Smith's brilliant channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SecretScholars What starts with his viral classroom video and the fallout from losing his teaching job becomes a deeply personal conversation about faith, evidence and consciousness. Warren describes a life-changing experience involving psychedelics, explains Jordan Peterson’s influence, and makes a claim about life after death that I have to challenge. We explore simulation theory, Richard Dawkins, Alex O’Connor and whether morality needs God. But when I explain where my own morals come from, Warren has a question for me. Can we apply the same standards of evidence to the beliefs we most want to be true? Watch the conversation and tell me who makes the stronger case—and which argument challenged your own thinking.

I Found My Wife’s Name in the Files on Mohammed Al-Fayed - Keaton Stone
He found his wife’s name in the files on Britain's Epstein. Who else knew what was happening? Documentary maker Keaton Stone joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to discuss his investigation into Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former Harrods owner who holidayed with Princess Diana. What began with his wife’s CV became a years-long search for the truth, pursued from his garden shed. The story behind “Britain’s Epstein” reaches across the Atlantic. Keaton recounts allegations involving an American ambassador’s daughter, explains how former CIA operatives working privately for Vanity Fair investigated Al-Fayed, and describes finding his wife’s name in their surveillance records. From warnings to Princess Diana to accounts of hidden corridors and a revolving bookcase, Keaton describes the world behind Al-Fayed’s public image. He discusses allegations about police, doctors and other enablers, the BBC documentary, Harrods’ response, and the more than 500 survivors he says have come forward. He also explains why, in his view, public sympathy after the deaths of Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed changed the effort to expose Dodi’s father. How did Al-Fayed escape accountability during his lifetime—and who still holds the evidence that could help survivors today?

He Tried to Kill His Dad. Now He Fights Radical Islamists | David Wood
David Wood tried to kill his dad - but what he thought it would achieve is even more disturbing… Known for his Islam debates on https://www.youtube.com/@apologeticsroadshow, Dr David Wood joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to discuss the life behind his public reputation: attempted murder, prison, manipulation, Christianity and radical Islamism. “You’re all puppets.” How do you make someone follow your plan while believing it was their own idea? Wood explains his former worldview, his antisocial personality disorder, and an uncomfortable question: can someone change their behaviour without ever feeling guilt? Andrew challenges him on Christianity, evolution and belief in God. Then the conversation turns to his friendship with Nabeel Qureshi, the death threat Wood says followed Nabeel’s conversion, and the risks of leaving Islam. Wood also sets out his “three stages of jihad” argument. Why does he think Western leaders and journalists are failing to understand radical Islamism—and does he see Britain and Europe as a warning for America? Where do you agree with David - and where would you challenge him? Tell us in the comments, and subscribe to Heretics for more interviews with Andrew Gold.

Chris Hansen: Why To Catch a Predator Really Ended
Chris Hansen joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to go inside To Catch a Predator: the confrontations, the excuses, and the discovery that changed everything about one suspect’s sob story. With Robert Pattinson playing Hansen in A24’s upcoming film Primetime, hear from the real man behind “Have a seat”. From the original Dateline NBC investigations to Takedown with Chris Hansen, we explore how the stings work, why suspects who refuse to speak to police will talk to Chris, and why men who recognise the show still walk through the door. Hansen discusses his Roblox investigation, his concerns about child safety online, and the disturbing cases involving people in positions of trust. What happens before he steps into the room—and how does he know when to intervene? Andrew challenges Chris on entrapment and the uncomfortable relationship between justice and entertainment. Chris also gives his account of the Texas prosecutor’s death, explains why he believes To Catch a Predator ended, and revisits the infamous pizza encounter with Jeff Sokol.

Gavin McInnes, VICE co-founder and Proud Boys founder, joins Andrew Gold on Heretics for an explosive interview about who took over our culture—and how we let them. We laughed at them. Then they took over.
