CTA Podcast
Critical Therapy Antidote was established in 2020 as a response to the rapid, uncontested and systemic encroachment of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) on the psychotherapy field. The purpose of its establishment was to provide a platform where those concerned about this ideological takeover can challenge these ideas in articles, share resources and find a network of likeminded professionals and laypersons. In March 2023, the CTA Podcast was launched by clinical psychologist, Jaco van Zyl, and marriage and family therapist, Christine Sefein-Wolk. The CTA Podcast aims to critically analyse the tenets of CSJ, to provide diverse alternatives to this ideology, and to reestablish the healing ethos of psychotherapy. Welcome to the CTA Podcast. We hope it will both stimulate and challenge you.

The Data Doesn't Care: Dr. James Nuzzo on Woke Science, Health Equity & Academic Pressure
In this episode of the CTA Podcast, Dr. James Nuzzo joins Dr. Michael Olan for a wide-ranging conversation about science, politics, and the state of academia. Dr. Nuzzo—an exercise scientist and men's health researcher—shares how his work in strength, fitness testing, and historical data led him into deeper questions about health, public policy, and the pressures shaping modern research.
They discuss:
• The rise of ideological pressures in scientific institutions
• Why objective data and historical trends matter now more than ever
• The challenges of navigating academic cancellation
• The impact of “health equity” frameworks on scientific integrity
• How men’s health and public health are influenced by political narratives
This is a thoughtful, nuanced exploration of science, culture, and the importance of maintaining clarity and honesty in research.
