The Leighton Smith Podcast

Newstalk ZB

After 33 years behind the Newstalk ZB microphone, Leighton can’t give it up completely. There were so many requests to continue his opinionated commentary that the prospect of podcasting was born.

So, without restriction, Leighton continues to serve up on everything you want to hear about and some things you don’t. Stand by to be enlightened, educated and enraged!

  • 406 - Leighton Smith Podcast #262 - October 30th 2024 - Bryan Leyland and Christian Smith

    Power supply issues are challenging much if not most of the world - why? Could it be the recklessness of net zero?

    Power engineer Bryan Leyland expresses serious concern, as shortages translate into higher prices.

    At the same time, Australia is talking increasingly about Nuclear power - shouldn’t we?

    Meanwhile, a Telegraph article in London suggests that the young are fleeing Britain. Christian Smith updates his views on life in the old country.

    We attend to aspects of the Presidential election, and visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • 405 - Leighton Smith Podcast #261 - October 23rd 2024 - Judge Anthony Willy

    An insidious phenomenon has become widely evident around the western world, and it is alive and well in New Zealand. 

    The attack has been against every institution that props up the pillars of our democratic freedom.

    Retired Judge Anthony Willy justifies his accusations (from his essay “Blowing In the Wind”, NZCPR.com).

    It’s an important document that should be studied in every school.

    We have comment on the Presidential election, with only two weeks to go.

    And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • 404 - Leighton Smith Podcast #260 - October 16th 2024 - Roger Partridge

    “Who Makes the Law? Reining in the Supreme Court”.

    This report by Roger Partridge, lawyer and Chairman of the NZ Initiative, challenges the Supreme Court’s overreach or activism in recent cases and the constitutional implications.

    Judicial activism is in a word, dangerous for democracy.

    This is a most important matter and it needs the attention of Parliament.

    And we venture into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • 402 - Leighton Smith Podcast #258 - October 2nd 2024 - Ashley Rindsberg

    Two years ago, in podcast 151, we interviewed Ashley Rindsberg on “The Gray Lady Winked”, his book critiquing the New York Times.

    At the time he was domiciled in Israel. The interview was peppered with the occasional sound of rockets. 

    With the recent outbreak of conflict, talking with Rindsberg again was an obvious decision.

    We visit a very good Mailroom this week with Mrs Producer. Thanks, as always, to all of you who contribute.
