from heretics. · host Andrew Gold

Why is the media afraid to mention this man? In this episode, I’m joined by journalist Matthew Steeples to pull back the curtain on one of the most powerful and untouchable figures in British media and business: David Sullivan. From his rise in the adult industry to his ownership of West Ham United and his significant influence within the BBC and Fleet Street, we explore why certain stories never see the light of day. Steeples breaks down the complex web of power, the "gagging orders," and the media's complicity in protecting elite interests. This is a deep dive into the shadows of the UK establishment you won't hear anywhere else.

Heretics G.K. Chesterton "Heretics," a series of essays by Gilbert Keith Chesterton. First published in 1905. Read by David "Grizzly" Smith.Chesterton had a sense of humor, had a sense of drama, and had sense. He was a man of strong opinions, and quite willing to argue vehemently for his own opinions, even with his friends -- and they remained his friends -- like George Bernard Shaw and Rudyard Kipling.
