  • Leighton Smith Podcast: Best of 2022 - December 14th 2022

    Leighton is on summer break, so we are highlighting some of his favourite guests from 2022.

    In this unfiltered insider account, Dr Scott Atlas (author of A PLAGUE UPON OUR HOUSE: MY FIGHT AT THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE TO STOP COVID FROM DESTROYING AMERICA) gives us a full account of the key COVID-19 players in the White House during the pandemic.

    We cover the lies, distortions, and the truth about science, politicised academia, Big Business and Big Tech.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 184 - December 7th 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    Six months ago Bruce Cotterill talked about what is wrong with NZ, and how we might fix it.

    At years end he returns to discuss what has changed; for better or worse.

    We talk politics and the current mood of the electorate with Barry Soper. He is full and frank in commenting on the Prime Minister.

    “Government Maladministration and Stupidity” is the title of an essay from a retired lawyer.

    And we visit The Mailroom for the final time this year with Mrs Producer.

    Have a wonderful holiday break, and thank you so much for listening.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 183 - November 30th 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    Three Waters… many lies.

    Frank Newman says Three Waters is too good to be true, and democracy is the loser.

    New Zealand’s Supreme Court is playing a foolish game of politics, according to a British law professor.

    And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 182 - November 23rd 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    Things are changing in the world of climate alarmism.

    On the basis of recent science, the U.N. has halved to only 2.5C its prediction of global temperatures for year 2100.

    Dr Judith Curry says so, as does The Wall Street Journal, and David Wallace-Wells of the New York Times. Noted climate scientist Dr Judith Curry says “the policy implications of all this is enormous”.

    Former NZ Under-Secretary of Science, Energy and Technology Barry Brill says this changes everything.

    He takes no prisoners in Podcast 182.

    And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 181 - November 16th 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    We speak to Muriel Newman, from the NZ Centre for Political Research, on why New Zealanders need to make their voices heard.

    We talk separatist government, the water debate (that shouldn’t even be happening), He Puapua (whatever that means), farming, and other damage the Arden government is inflicting on New Zealand.

    And Patrick Basham, from the Democracy Institute, explains how the American midterm election results deserve a different perspective.

    As requested, a list of climate books that tell a different story.

    And, finally, we go to The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 180 - November 9th 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    A champion of free speech guests on this week's podcast.

    Jacob Mchangama, Danish lawyer and founder of Copenhagen think tank Justitia, talks hate speech, free speech and freedom.

    Coincidentally, we have been paying some attention to Twitter these past couple of weeks.

    The reason is obvious, free speech is the bedrock of democracy.

    We report on Patrick Basham’s final research for the mid-term U.S. elections, and we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 178 - October 26th 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    Two weeks out from the all important mid-term elections, we discuss the likely outcome and its repercussions with Patrick Basham from Democracy Institute.

    In these exciting times, Democracy Institute, in conjunction with the London Express, has been doing noticeably good research on American politics.

    And following the success of his novel "Agenda 2060”, author A.I. Fabler is back with “The Seed of Corruption”.

    The parallels with actual recent events are stunning, more so because he wrote it mostly before we had even heard of Covid-19.

    The interview is a must listen.

    And we go to The Mailroom, with your much appreciated communication.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast Episode 177 - October 19th 2022

    On this week's podcast:

    Michael Every is a Global Strategist at Rabobank. He analyses major developments, contributes to the bank’s publications and is very active in the media.

    We hit on the future of money, the meta crisis we’re living with, and all that it means.

    Michael is not a conformist economist and his take on crypto, geopolitics, and missing leadership is compulsive listening.

    Tony Grey is an author and businessman who was born into Shakespeare.

    His email to me began “I am shocked. Once again the woke cabal has rung the bell of ignorance”.

    Find out which world leaders relate to which of Shakespeare’s characters. Just one example of the bard’s counted relevance.

    And, of course, The Mailroom.
