What listeners will find here
Secret societies, Freemasonry, and a debate over hidden power
Secret societies and Freemasonry take center stage as Mark Booth joins Andrew Gold to discuss hidden teachings, initiation rituals, and whether elite groups shape ordinary lives. The episode moves from power and secrecy into occult science, simulation theory, and consciousness after death.
Jeremy Boreing on Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, faith, and Britain’s future
Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are the starting point for a wide-ranging talk with Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing. He weighs truth, fame and conspiracy thinking, then moves into immigration, Christianity, free speech and what holds a society together.
Drea de Matteo on Hollywood exile, vaccine mandates, and the price of refusing to comply
Drea de Matteo talks through the fallout she says followed her refusal to go along with Hollywood norms, from losing her agent to facing foreclosure and starting OnlyFans. The conversation ranges from The Sopranos stories to politics, institutional power, religion, and what people mean by calling Hollywood “demonic.”
A combative Milo interview that veers into something unexpectedly personal
Milo Yiannopoulos joins Andrew Gold for a heated, often funny clash over religion, free speech, MAGA, gay adoption, and Trump-era politics. The episode pushes on where Milo is sincere versus provocative, before shifting into a more personal exchange about childhood, loneliness, and happiness.
Justin Hawkins gets personal in an interview that turns tense
Justin Hawkins talks with Andrew Gold about his extraordinary life story in a conversation that becomes personal, uncomfortable, and intense. If you know him as the voice of “I Believe in a Thing Called Love,” this episode promises a more revealing and awkward side of the rock star.
