Sacred Tension: Online Gurus and New Religious Movements | Helen Lewis

In this episode of Sacred Tension, I’m joined by journalist Helen Lewis to discuss her new BBC series The New Gurus. We discuss the rise of advice-giving gurus online, whether social justice is a new religion, her confrontational interview with Jordan Peterson, how online cancelation radicalizes people, and much more. 

Listen to her series The New Gurus on BBC Radio 4.

Follow her work at The Atlantic.
