The Dispatches Left Foot Media

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 

In the latest episode of Dispatches With Dieuwe, political commentator and radio show host Dieuwe de Boer joins me to discuss the results of his political tracker, which keeps tabs on the promises versus delivery of the Government. We also talk about the shocking new report showing that trust in the media has collapsed, the morphing of the climate strike protest into a catch-all revolutionary anti-government rally, AND LOTS MORE! ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.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

In this episode we discuss the hilarious media manufactured outrage over NZ politician Winston Peter’s use of the 90’s pop song Tubthumping in his political campaigning. We dissect the lyrics, rebut the grandiose claims that have been made about this song, and highlight the most absurd hypocrisy of all about this feigned outrage. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia
