212. Derek from Mythvision

Today’s episode is an absolute classic, because our guest Derek Lambert is just so candid and emotional as he tells his quite incredible story. Derek grew up with an alcoholic father in a religious household. As you’ll hear, he goes through some incredible highs and lows – mostly lows – in his adolescence, falling into addictive use of opiates and becoming addicted to heroin. He also became devoutly religious between episodes of intense drug use.

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 Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to ex-Hasidic Jew Julia Haart and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.
