You know the word heresy? It sounds like if you're a heretic, you are an awful, evil, almost criminal person. You're a heretic. I think being a heretic might be a good idea right about now. I think Neo, the rapper and singer, proved that recently. I think that Riley Gaines is a heretic. I think that

Chloe Cole is a heretic. I think we've got a lot of good heretics these days. We need more.

We need to continue building what I like to call the Coalition of Courage to counter some of the

crazy narratives that are out there.

But don't take my word for it.

Let's go all the way across the pond and speak to one of the coolest writers I have spoken to to date.

That is next.

Now it's time for some sanity.

It's the Michelle Tofoya podcast.

All right, welcome to this edition of the Michelle Tofoya podcast.

Brought to you by Gen Ysell.

We appreciate Jen Yssel for all their sponsorship.

Thank you.

We'll tell you about their dark spot corrector in a little bit.

But there's a new book out called A Heretics Manifesto, Essays on the Unsafeable.

It's written by a guy from the UK named Brendan O'Neill, and he writes for an online site called Spiked Online,

which I recommend very highly. This guy is smart. He does his research. There's some, the British humor that we've all

come to love built into what he writes. And he will tell you in this interview that he's had

varying reactions to his book, that a lot of people agree with a lot of it, but there are some

people who disagree with some of it, but it is an easy read.

It is fascinating.

It is so well researched.
