The Leighton Smith Podcast Newstalk ZB

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

John Alcock has a BSC and MSc from Otago. He also has an LLB from Auckland Uni of Technology.

His time is presently devoted to matters crypto. He talks with us about Bitcoin, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC’s), and the progress by our own Reserve Bank.

What he has to say in podcast 234, needs to be heard by all who care about freedom.

There’s also comment on the approaching age of Neo Feudalism and the “take away” from the last four years.

And finally, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
