Heretics with Andrew Gold

Andrew Lawrence: The Real Reason I Was Cancelled

Andrew Gold — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 09:28:25 GMT

I went into this interview thinking Andrew Lawrence had been cancelled by angry people online. What I found was more interesting. Andrew says his agent told him a bigger client had threatened to leave unless Andrew was dropped.

Whether that account was completely accurate or not, the wider pattern was clear: the outrage online may have been fake, but the fear, phone calls and lost work were very real.

Three things I learned:

Cancellation often happens in private. It is not always thousands of ordinary people demanding someone lose their job. Often it is agents, venues and powerful people quietly deciding someone is too risky.
The worst part is not always the money. Andrew said being pushed out of the comedy world felt like being thrown out of his tribe. Losing your community can hurt more than losing work.

Success can become a trap. Andrew believes mainstream comedy made him safer, richer and less interesting. Losing that world eventually gave him the freedom to make the comedy he actually wanted to make.

670. The UK’s Chilling Plan to Control What You Watch

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 16:02:07 GMT

The government is introducing plans that could force social media to prioritise ‘legacy channels’ in their algorithms. I’m actually staggered they’re being this brazen.

The UK government has released a green paper proposing that social media platforms should prioritise “trusted” legacy media sources like the BBC over independent creators and commentators…

Andrew Gold — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 18:17:41 GMT

Dr. Alison McClymont is a trafficking expert and clinical psychologist who has spent years working on the frontlines of child sexual exploitation - in Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and the UK.

In this episode she reveals how child abuse has been industrialised by the internet: live-streamed in real time, paid for by the click and happening not on the dark web but on the apps your children use every day.

She also connects the dots between grooming gangs, bacha bazi, and the data nobody in government is asking for.

3 things I learned:

Live-streamed child abuse has increased 850% since Covid - and it happens on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Skype, not the dark web.
Big Tech can detect copyright music in seconds. They could detect live-streamed child abuse the same way. They choose not to - because it doesn’t make them any money.
There are statistically almost certainly boy victims of the UK grooming gangs. Nobody has asked for the data.

Everyone knows that Paul Gascoigne suffers with alcoholism and psychosis.

But I had no idea about the root cause.

This is the conversation he’s never quite had before.

The Dark Medical Scandal Elites Are Hiding

Andrew Gold — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:50:57 GMT

Michael Kerr is a gay man who was sexually assaulted at 18, spiralled into addiction, and was put on hormones by the NHS after two 30-minute appointments - no therapy, no safeguarding, no questions about the trauma sitting underneath it all.

He spent five years before detransitioning. This is his story.

Today’s bonus video contains the three moments we cut from the main episode. His breakdown the week he detransitioned. What his doctor admitted when Michael asked for help. And why Michael says women specifically are being manipulated — and can’t see it. Substack only.

Three Things I Learned

The NHS gave Michael hormones after he threatened suicide to get them.
His family refused to use his new name or pronouns. He cut them off for two years. He now says it’s one of his biggest regrets.

He used women’s spaces for two years. It was his own female relative - not a stranger - who finally told him it made her uncomfortable. That’s what changed his mind.
