  • Leighton Smith Podcast #298 - August 20th 2025 - Michael Kelly
    New Zealand’s Big Climate Mistake. This interview with Prof Michael Kelly is full of logic and rationale. A kiwi, Kelly is Professor Emeritus at Cambridge University (coincidentally a place we visited a couple of weeks ago). The interview with Kelly was 200 or so podcasts ago, in number 93. The information he imparts is as relevant now as then. We thought at the time it was a stunning listen; if you haven’t heard it, there is much to learn. Your feedback will be welcomed.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #297 - August 13th 2025 - Thomas Harrington
    Having recently listened to a few extracts from the last interview we had with Tom Harrington, I was reminded by just how good he is. Tom’s capacity to expose wrong think, and inspire and develop how we do think is hinted in this comment: “That having more educational credentials is no guarantee against the danger of believing in stories that seriously distort our understanding of imperial facts.” He is a very inspirational speaker.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #296 - August 6th 2025 - Daniel Hannan
    We are on holiday in Europe at the moment. Of course there will be a full account on return. It was almost two years ago that writer and public speaker Lord Hannan was in NZ, and we recorded an interview which provided much food for thought. Having visited the country on numerous occasions, Daniel's opinion on politics and the economy was valid. A couple of years later is a good time to check on his ‘predictions’ as to where several controversial issues might be headed.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #295 - July 30th 2025 - Alan Eggers
    Imagine a company that has been pursuing its goal for fifteen years, with mixed progress, if you could call it that. The company, Trans Tasman Resources (TTR) has invested over $85 million toward a deep sea mining project off the South Taranaki Coast. It’s Executive Chairman Alan Eggers is a qualified geologist who gained his degree at Victoria University, Wellington. But it’s not all been plain sailing... Eggers lays it out in a most interesting interview which covers matters political, racial, social and financial, and helps to understand why New Zealand is poorly served in its search for the success it deserves. It just might share some of the reasons the country comes up short in other areas, like infrastructure and health.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #294 - July 23rd 2025 - Maryanne Spurdle
    Maryanne Spurdle from the Maxim Institute has produced a Discussion Paper "INTERROGATING CHOICE: Euthanasia and the ILLUSION OF AUTONOMY." The UK has announced their intention to lower the voting age to 16. Canada plans to include minors in its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) advances — even excluding parental knowledge and approval. This follows the established pattern of absurdities in numerous fields: alcohol consumption, sex, driver licensing, education and crime. Is it driven by an illusion of maturity or some manipulative purpose by lowering standards? Maryann Spurdle discusses her Discussion Paper on Podcast 294. And we wind up with the Mail Room and Mrs Producer. File your comments and complaints at [email protected] Haven't listened to a podcast before? Check out our simple how-to guide.
