I love thinking about the pyramids and how they were built (and by whom). Nobody actually knows. And I absolutely don't believe the mainstream narrative.

Roger Cunningham, AKA the The Ethical Skeptic, has been researching this for a long time, and makes the following arguments:

• the established timeline is wrong by thousands of years;
• they were built by advanced people;
• the truth is being covered up; and
• the pyramids ended up underwater for centuries, following a cataclysmic event.

How can you not find that fascinating?

PD Lawton was on my podcast a few days ago, chatting about violence against Christians in Nigeria. Her knowledge of Africa is so good that I invited her back to discuss a topic nobody knows about: a high-speed railway network being built across Africa.

One reason nobody knows about it is that it's part of the Belt and Road Initiative (which is Chinese), and Western media doesn't like that. Another reason is that it's an uplifting, positive story, and people tend to consume negativity and doom-scroll.

Todd Hayen is a psychotherapist who has been a regular on my podcast for years. We mostly riff about abstract nonsense, but I enjoy it, which is why he is a regular.

His Substack is called Shrew Views.

This time, we chatted about gay marriage and whether or not AI is an existential threat.

We're in an information war. In fact, we're in multiple information wars at once — a helpful term for it is 'poly-war'. In other words, we're being attacked from many sides: health, mental, and physical.

It's why I do what I do — to fit the many puzzle pieces together, try to see the bigger picture, and figure out what's true.

UK Column's Mike Robinson and Charles Malet joined me for our weekly banter, where we threw around ideas on how to effectively fight all these wars.

Chris Waldburger wrote a book in which he argues that Nietzsche and Christianity can be reconciled, and that Nietzsche's antagonism towards the faith is far more complex than the cartoon version of "God is dead.

It's kinda ironic.

Nietzsche claimed he was an atheist, yet spoke about God more than any Christian.

I recorded this in 2024, but am sharing it again because, while I am not entirely persuaded by the arguments made, Kent Hovind is someone I've wanted on my podcast for a very long time. I greatly admire him and his passion, and his sense of humour is contagious.

In short, he argues that the Bible is literally true, that God created everything in six days, 6,000 years ago, and that dinosaurs lived alongside humans before the Flood.

Another myth-busting conversation coming up! 🔥

This time, PD Lawton explains why there is no genocide of Christians in Nigeria, and why both Christians and Muslims are indeed being brutally killed — but it's not a religious war.

It's a geopolitical war, backed by Western interests and the very corrupt Nigerian government, with groups like Boko Haram serving as useful tools of destabilisation.

It's about what's under the ground.

The 'Christian genocide' narrative is a distraction.

This is a topic that gets pushback from many folks who see themselves as 'conservative' or 'libertarian' or whatever.

Their argument goes something like this: collectivism leads to communism, so individualism leads to capitalism or freedom.

The problem is that they're making a rookie binary error. Life is a complex system — it's not a zero-sum game. Putting family before yourself, for example, is collectivism, since it focuses on a group rather than an individual. I certainly put my family first. Does that mean I'm endorsing communism? No.

Richard Storey attempts to explain this.

This is a follow-up to a conversation Simon Roche and I had a few days ago about the Soweto Uprising of 1976, now known as Youth Day. We discussed the morally indefensible decisions made by the South African government at the time — and how Soviet and Jewish interests then exploited the event for gain that had nothing to do with South Africa's interests.

A lot of people were angry after listening to the episode, so this is a response to the triggered.

In this week's UK Column banter session between me, Mike Robinson, and Charles Malet, we chat about what is meant by the term 'free speech' and when, if at all, it is acceptable to restrict people from speaking freely.

As it happens, there are indeed times when it's okay to restrict speech — in a cinema, for example. Do you want to pay money to watch a movie and, instead, listen to the people next to you chatting about what they had for lunch? I pointed out that I won't allow people to come into my home and swear at my family.

Sadly, it seems that some people don't do well with absolute freedom of speech and prefer to be chaotic trolls who ruin it for those around them.
