188. H'ween: Why We Believe in Ghosts | Danny Robins

For Halloween, I've got Danny Robins, a BBC Sounds podcaster and playwright who investigates ghosts and paranormal belief. His play 2:22 is in the West End, about a ghostly ghoul, yes, that appears at 2:22 each morning. He’s made it big in the BBC podcasting world, with the Battersea Poltergeist series making a huge splash, as did his series Uncanny and Haunted. His latest podcast series is The Witch Farm, so do check that out and follow Danny on twitter and all those things.

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.
