  • #16 A nice cup of tea and a sit down with the TEA Party

    In this episode, Darran and Mat were fortunate enough to sit down with two candidates from the TEA Party. One of the newest parties in New Zealand, the TEA Party describe themselves as socially democratic and fiscally conservative.

    To find out exactly what that means and where the TEA Party stand on healthcare funding, migration, tax, electoral reform - and what makes their candidates tick, listen on.

    Our guests were

    Noel the Epsom candidate and Dom from Auckland Central.

    You can find out more about the party here, and follow them on social media here and here.

    As ever your hosts are

    Mat Danaher and Darran Lees, and all music is by Kid Hideous.

  • Take it to the top with TOP

    This week Darran and Mat were very priviliged to be joined by deputy leader of The Opportunities Party and North Shore electorate candidate (and former crown prosecutor) Shai Navot.

    They spent nearly an hour diving deep into TOP’s programme for government, including Universal Basic Income, housing, tax, and cannabis reform, and why the old parties just don’t cut it any more.

  • The Podcrastinators #14 We're all DOOMED!

  • Episode 09: Toddal Eclipse of the Heart

    Well what a week it’s been. Also this week we remember why it’s heard to stay topical with a podcast when you have full time jobs and things change quickly. Possibly out of date already, but listen anyway to what we think about the resignation of Todd “Toddy” Muller…

  • Episode Eight: Bordering on Farce

    In this episode your fearless hosts launch a hypocritical attack on the Kiwi “she’ll be right” attitude, discuss disoriented cougars in San Francisco, investigate far right infiltration of the My Little Pony community, and don’t talk about spunky smelling parks in London. Oh yeah, they also debate the Government’s current performance.

    If you want to support Auckland stand up Ed Rivera you can do that here. Following his wife Nancy’s horrendous accident.

    As ever presented by Darran Lees and Mat Danaher.

  • Episode 07: JJ Whitehead Saves US Medicine

    LA based Canadian comic, writer, and actor JJ Whitehead gives generously of his time to talk about touring, writing for TV and stand up, the state of the US, and what it’s like being taken hostage at gun point by angry Scottish people in the Philippines.

    Thanks JJ for a very funny hour and a half.

    Unfortunately the online gig we mention in the recording appears to have been cancelled.

    You should buy his latest album on iTunes here and follow him on Facebook here.
