  • Leighton Smith Podcast #289 - June 18th 2025 - George Friedman
    The similarities between Ukraine’s attack on Russian bombers and the Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear sites have been noted. But the parallels don’t stop there. The U.S. is involved in both conflicts and the script for each is flexible on a daily basis. The influence upon each is Donald J Trump. Geopolitical authority George Friedman opines on both wars, employing the theory of geopolitical cycles as explained in his book “The Storm Before the Calm”.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #288 - June 11th 2025 - Antonia Colibasanu
    Romanians are still navigating the difficult path of building democratic institutions and a culture of transparency. At the same time, widespread perceptions of corruption and cronyism have caused many Romanians to see little change from communist leadership. Antonia Colibasanu, a lecturer on International Relations at the Romanian National University, backgrounds Romania’s position and future influence in Europe and analyses the difficulties the country is faced with. She also summarises the country’s relationship between Russia, Ukraine, Poland and the rest of Europe. And finally, we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #286 - May 28th 2025 - Nigel Horrocks & Justin Matthews
    The rush of technology that is confronting us has gone unnoticed by most of the world’s inhabitants. That is, until now. The moment we, as individuals start to recognise the magnitude of A.I. is likely to rearrange our view of the future: both short and long term. The question is, how do we handle it going forward. Nigel Horrocks and Justin Matthews recently established a Substack, CREATIVE MACHINAS. Nigel has had an illustrious career in journalism, internet development and is a recent graduate from Oxford University in AI. Justin Matthews is a senior lecturer in digital media at AUT. They share with us what they know of the present and what’s ahead. And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #285 - May 21st 2025 - Bryan Leyland & J. R. Bruning
    Consulting power supply engineer Bryan Leyland updates us on the dire straits confronting the nation. And why we should be very concerned. We address a second matter of public importance; New Zealand’s Gene Technology Bill fails the public interest transparency test, according to submissions from PSGR (Physicians & Scientists for Global Responsibility). Sociologist J. R. Bruning explains the need for that concern, including the threat to democracy. Should we shed tears over Biden’s prostate? And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
