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.

In “Suspicion,” we will take you through the deaths of Leath’s two husbands, her trials and how she managed to escape a life sentence.

What happens when what you think is true doesn’t line up with reality? We call that a perception gap, and it can lead to damaging misconceptions about society’s most pressing issues. In this podcast, we explore the spaces where our perceptions don’t reflect the truth of the world around us – and in doing so look for solutions and common ground. Hosted by The Christian Science Monitor’s Samantha Laine Perfas.
