  1. Fertility Fear and Loathing

    13 OCT

    Fertility Fear and Loathing

    Earlier today the NZ media published an article raising the alarm about increasing numbers of social media influencers speaking negatively about hormonal birth control while promoting the use of natural fertility methods instead. In this episode of The Dispatches I unpack the many truly fascinating ways that this media coverage unintentionally offers some very important insights into the dominant ideologies and secular dogmas of our age. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ WATCH the video verison on Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

    Jimmy Kimmel Is Not A Free Speech Martyr

    In this episode of The Dispatches podcast I share my thoughts on the suspension of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, in particular, why this isn’t cancel culture, and what the authentic conservative approach to freedom of expression looks like. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ WATCH the video verison on Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

  3. Euthanasia Without Consent

    Euthanasia Without Consent

    Did you know that many patients are regularly being euthanised without consent, and that it’s been going on for many years? In the latest episode of The Dispatches I discuss why this is happening, and why it was always going to be an inevitable outcome of legalising euthanasia. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

  4. What Is The Christian Teaching on Civil Disobedience?

    13 JUNE

    What Is The Christian Teaching on Civil Disobedience?

    In light of the violence and destruction we’ve seen unfolding in Los Angeles over the past week or so, it seems pertinent to examine what Christianity teaches about civil disobedience. Is it morally acceptable? Are there limits? How does this apply to the crisis in LA? ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com    ✅ PODCAST | Christianity, Immigration and Border Control: https://the-dispatches.castos.com/episodes/christianity-immigration-and-border-control    ✅ PODCAST | The Grave Moral Problem of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: https://the-dispatches.castos.com/episodes/the-grave-moral-problem-of-hiroshima-and-nagasaki

    Ideology, Animus, and Control in the Latest NZ Abortion Report

    Late last week the New Zealand State quietly published its first five year review of the extreme abortion law passed by the Ardern Labour government. In this podcast we take a deep dive into the report, and how it reveals an abortion regime of ideology, animus and control… but very little accountability. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

    Should we Ban Social Media for Children Under 16?

    In today’s podcast I discuss the new announcement that the NZ government is supportive of changing the law to make it illegal for children under 16 to become social media users. Is this government overreach? Will it work? Is it a positive development? ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

    Why is the Pope's New Name so Significant?

    The Christian Church has a new pope - Pope Leo XIV. In this podcast I share my hopes for the new papacy, and my thoughts about the name Leo, and why that could be more significant than some have realised. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com

    Major New Study: Abortion Pill is 22 times More Dangerous Than FDA Claims

    In this podcast we take a deep dive into a major new study from the US which shows that the abortion pill is 22 times more dangerous than the Food and Drug Administration labelling claims it to be. The findings of this study echo the adverse effects revealed in the latest NZ abortion report, and raise serious questions about a tool that is now being used increasingly to carry out abortions all over the world. ❤️ Become a supporter at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia  ❤️ Substack: www.thecounterculture.substack.com  ✅ New study on abortion pill: https://eppc.org/publication/stop-harming-women
