Quillette Podcast

Long-form conversations with scientists, writers, historians, and public intellectuals on the ideas shaping — and dividing — the Western world.

Mostly hosted by Jonathan Kay — Canadian journalist, author, and Quillette editor whose books include Among the Truthers, a landmark investigation into conspiracy culture. Kay brings a rare combination of intellectual range, genuine curiosity, and willingness to push back, whether the subject is evolutionary biology, cancel culture, geopolitics, or the philosophy of free speech.

Non-dogmatic, evidence-driven, and unafraid of controversy.
