Exorcisms, Rockstar Priests & Dangerous Taboos - Andrew Gold - #355

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people in Podcast Land? welcome back to the show. My guest today is Andrew Gold. He's a documentary maker and a podcaster. In the depths of the Buenos Aires suburbs is a priest who is warding off vampires, levitating followers and battling demons. Or maybe he's kidnapping schizophrenic patients from a local psychiatric ward. Andrew traips through Argentina to find out. Today, expect to learn what it's like to fear the 5,000 people are going to kill you in South America, how Andrew infiltrated an underground paedophile network in Germany, why the BBC's diversity quota might be protecting the top jobs, how brutal it is to work in Amazon's warehouse and much more. As Andrew says, he's this sort of gonzo-style side-eye Louis Theroux up-and-coming documentary maker with, I don't know how he finds these stories. He was talking about prostitutes being forced to stand on ant hills somewhere, and he went to go and meet a crazy baby lady who was campaigning for something to do with abortion. He literally is just existing at the absolute extreme taboos of everything, all stories everywhere on the planet, all the time.
