He speaks five languages and holds an NCTJ journalism qualification.https://www.watsonlittle.com/client/andrew-gold/ He interviews guests about cults, ideologies and polemic cultural issues.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12584371/I-investigate-cults-reasons-people-swept-religious-sects-need-feel-superior.html https://www.spiked-online.com/video/the-islamo-left-must-be-confronted/ His initial focus on the Andrew Gold channel was on all different cults and ideologies from an agnostic or atheistic perspective. He covered extreme belief in everything from Hasidic Judaism and Scientology to multi-level marketing cults and woo-woo gurus. Although people were receptive to his criticism of Hasidic Judaism, he felt that he was accused of racism when he did the same about extreme Islam or anything related to progressive politics. In November 2023, he launched Heretics to cover the topics he felt unable to touch, and has courted controversy for criticising trans ideology and the Left's affiliation with political Islamism. He also continues to run his eponymous channel, but mainly as a livestream tabloid look at royals and celebrity life, while Heretics has become his hard-hitting channel.
