259. Inside The Secretive Hasidic Jewish Community

Frieda Vizel is in the unique position of having left the extremely devout Hasidic Jewish community - while still remaining in touch with it through her work as a tour guide of the area in New York. While I've done episodes with defectors who spoke entirely negatively about the sect, this was a chance to hear a different perspective, and I found it absolutely fascinating speaking with Frieda.

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 Robbie Williams and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.
