Last weekend a very diverse coalition of individuals and groups gathered together in Wellington for the Unsilenced event - a one day summit on gender ideology. Just days later, the NZ media outlet The Spinoff responded with a piece of inhumane and unfair reporting that can rightly be described as ideological agitprop. In this episode we dissect that article and show how it has mislead the public and unfairly treated a group of ordinary people for not embracing progressive ideology. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Last month Black American author, scholar and podcast host Coleman Hughes appeared on the mainstream TV show The View to discuss his brand new book The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America. It’s fair to say that things got extremely awkward when one of the hosts tried to malign his character instead of actually engaging with the substance of his work. In this episode we dissect this interview, and what it might have to teach us about rational dialogue. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Earlier this week a 1News survey showed a drop in support for the current NZ Government. Just a few hours later they broadcast some truly embarrassing and woefully self-sabotaging reporting about this poll result. In this episode we dissect that piece of coverage and highlight its falsehoods, misleading claims, and fantasist hyperbole, and how it all came crashing down less than 24 hours later with the publication of a different new political poll. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Today’s episode features an exclusive interview with NZ historian and author Dr. Rowan Light, and Royal NZ Air Force veteran and National MP Tim Costley. In this episode we discus the profound importance of the ANZAC tradition which began in World War One during the battle of Gallipoli, why it survived its predicted demise, and why it resonates so strongly with us still today. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Today’s episode features an exclusive interview with a Kiwi mother and pro-life advocate who was subjected to a weaponisation of the Offical Information Act system after trying to seek basic facts about the practice of abortion in her region. After months of being on the receiving end of atrocious conduct from local officials, she finally made an offical complaint to the Ombudsman, and at that point, things got even weirder. If you care about public accountability, this is definitely an interview that you won’t want to miss! ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Almost four years ago I had the privilege of interviewing former Gloriavale commune member Melody Pilgrim, who escaped with her family in 2019. In light of the new documentary TV series about Gloriavale called ‘Escaping Utopia’ - which was broadcast by TVNZ over three nights last week - I thought it was important for Melody’s powerful account about the shocking truth of life inside Gloriavale to be heard by the listeners of this podcast. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ORIGINAL VIDEO INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bvrzVqroWY&t=721s
