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!

  • 375 - Leighton Smith Podcast #232 - March 27th 2024 - Roger L Simon

    Roger L Simon is a writer of books, both fiction and non-fiction.

    He was the founding CEO of PJ Media, but he is also a screenwriter of standing, a political commentator and columnist with the Epoch Times.

    We talked about his column, “What it Means That We are Not Reading Books”, but it became a wide ranging discussion.

    We have commentary on Natan Sharansky and the murder of Alexei Navalny, and Covid: what we should never forget.

    And finally, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • 374 - Leighton Smith Podcast #231 - March 20th 2024 - Gary Judd KC

    The Jim Allan commentary on the NZ Supreme Court’s Smith v Fonterra decision (Podcast 229) encouraged considerable reaction from the 'court of the pen’.

    Foremost was correspondence from Gary Judd KC, who not only communicated to us but published a corresponding article in The Law Association’s LawNews.

    Gary Judd expands on his views in podcast 231. Even a legal novice will find interest in it.

    Elsewhere we have commentary on “saving the planet”, and the New York Democrat endorsing Trump.

    And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • 373 - Leighton Smith Podcast #230 - March 13th 2024 - George Friedman

    George Friedman, founder and chairman of Geopolitical Futures, is in the studio with us this week.

    And there’s plenty to discuss; wars and rumours of more wars. Possible peace in Ukraine, Star Wars, politics and crises, and the part New Zealand has to play.

    Also, George’s book “The Storm before the Calm” which predicted the 2020’s would be turmoil for America. Are his predictions on target?

    And a new analysis of the death of John F Kennedy which, if correct, indicates collusion amongst America’s Agencies.

    We have mail from a former MP, and much more in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • 372 - Leighton Smith Podcast #229 - March 6th 2024 - Professor James Allan

    The legal fraternity in this part of the world is delighted at the Supreme Court’s decision on Smith v Fonterra. But not everyone feels that way.

    In his inevitable style, Professor James Allan critiques the decision and the direction a collection of un-elected ex-lawyers are “usurping power to themselves at the expense of the elected branches of government”.

    As a specialist in constitutional law, Jim is in his element.

    We also spend words on SCOTUS and Trump. An important and essential commentary.

    Plus we visit the Mailroom with Mrs. Producer.

  • 371 - Leighton Smith Podcast #228 - February 28th 2024 - Jonathan Roth

    Canadian Jonathan Roth, founder of Resource Wars, recently recorded an interview with the former Mossad Chief Efraim Halevy.

    He did not get the answers he was expecting.

    Roth maintains that "progress and wealth are impossible without resources. All empires rise and fall based upon access to resources.

    He provides perspectives on investing, global politics, technology and the future.

    We critique NZTA’s plans to restrict citizen's rights to free movement, while simultaneously hitting us in the pocket.

    And we visit The Mailroom, with Mrs Producer.
