    Leighton Smith Podcast #240 - May 22nd 2024 - Muriel Newman

    Muriel Newman and her organisation NZCPR (New Zealand Centre for Political Research) have a long standing campaign to prevent a tribal takeover of NZ’s foreshore and seabed.

    With Muriel, we cover the danger to the governance of NZ ie, the Marine & Coastal Area Act, a common electoral role, media, radicalisation and its growth and the danger of a return to the Dark Ages.

    Leighton Smith Podcast #239 - May 15th 2024 - Jonathan Rauch

    Leighton Smith Podcast #239 - May 15th 2024 - Jonathan Rauch

    A sceptical knowledge-seeking society will always welcome controversy, criticism and inquiry, even about ostensibly long-settled ideas.

    And free expression plays an indispensable role in society, sorting truth from falsehood.

    Jonathan Rauch is a journalist, and author of a number of books.

    While a very pleasant interviewee, it will be interesting to see how many of you he will agitate.

    We make comment on Pope Francis; again, he is wrong.

    Two Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court issue warnings about the state of America.

    And once again, we visit The Mailroom.

    Leighton Smith Podcast #238 - May 8th 2024 - Dr David Bell & WHO

    Leighton Smith Podcast #238 - May 8th 2024 - Dr David Bell & WHO

    We have an extensive interview with David Bell, on the expansion of the World Health Organisation’s powers and influence.

    He has worked for twenty years in biotech and international public health in numerous capacities, with over 120 research publications.

    David explains why New Zealand, and other countries, should stand their ground and refrain from signing on. It’s a very important discussion.

    In Podcast 238 we take a look at crime, Modern Monetary Theory and Law School ridiculousness.

    And visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

    Leighton Smith Podcast #237 - May 1st 2024 - Anthony Willy

    Leighton Smith Podcast #237 - May 1st 2024 - Anthony Willy

    "Never before has New Zealand faced a constitutional contest like the one being played out right now.” The opening words to “Guns drawn as Waitangi Tribunal tangle whips up storm.”

    So began a column from The Australian. We discuss this scenario with retired judge Anthony Willy, and venture that it’s time to ditch the Waitangi Tribunal. But there's more.

    Also, separate comment on decline of the West, political and editorial bias in shaping climate science, and senility at the highest level!

    Mrs Producer joins the mail-room.

    Leighton Smith Podcast #236 - April 24th 2024 - John Alcock & Rod Jenden

    We received a record number of comments and questions after John Alcock’s discussion on Bitcoin in podcast 234.

    So in Podcast 236 he makes a return for a question and answer session and we remind you that this is not a promotion, but an attempt to inform.

    After the Wet and Forget sale, we reminisce and discover the benefits of hard work with Rod Jenden.

    And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

    Leighton Smith Podcast #235 - April 17th 2024 - Martin Durkin

    Leighton Smith Podcast #235 - April 17th 2024 - Martin Durkin

    In 2007, Documentary maker Martin Durkin produced “The Great Global Warming Swindle”.

    With 17 more years of predictions, Durkin has released “Climate: The Movie, The Cold Truth”.

    By utilising facts, statistics and some of the world’s leading scientists, Durkin shows why the science is still not settled. (Judge for yourself by searching  the movie title free on line).

    UN climate official warns only ’two years’ to save the world from environmental crisis... again.

    Finally, we dip into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
