About us

At Renegade Inc. we see the world differently.

The old, established ways no longer work.

Bringing together the most exciting thinkers, writers, leaders, and creators, we explore the most urgent topics of the day.

And propose inspiring new ways to do things.

Renegade Inc. is an independent knowledge platform for people who “think differently”.

Many more people are now questioning the conventional wisdom of modern life and asking a simple question: how do I live and work well during the age of uncertainty?

Renegade Inc. was founded to answer some of those questions.

Our editorial ethos is to be best not quickest – we are not slaves to the news cycle. 

Renegade Inc. was co-founded by Megan and Ross Ashcroft, award-winning film producers and co-founders of the advisory and investment business Motherlode.

“Renegade Inc. has got to be one of the best kept broadcast secrets. The one truly open minded programme where you will hear every political view across the political spectrum without prejudice. ”

“I have a feeling that this conversation would never see the light of day at the BBC. ”

@Stephen Shuttleworth

“Watching Renegade Inc at the moment, open mouthed. Erudite, informed debate and critiques of the neoliberal order. Listen. Think. Observe. This programme should be all over the UK media. Nothing to do with the Kremlin. This is truth for a woke generation.”

@ wulf_9

“At last. I’ve discovered a programme that informs, educates and entertains. I am not alone!”

@ Pete Alford

“Your work gives me hope. But we all have our part to play. Thanks for standing on the shoulders of giants, making us all a bit taller.”

Niamh de Barrah

“Another important show from Ross Ashcroft and his guests on the importance of truth in journalism, the public’s ignorance of propaganda used by its government and specifically the distortion of truth by institutions like OPCW the provoke war and millions of deaths. Watch!”
