On this week's podcast:
"Rodney Hide makes another appearance.
He is the master of a good conversation, one of the cornerstones of podcasting.
The State of the Nation is a great place to start. Hide’s opinion may surprise. What follows is enjoyable, informative, certainly opinionated and indulgent. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we did."
Did I hear him right about his wife having to sit behind a screen or something at his kid's school? Could someone in-the-know explain what he meant, please?
Just finished listening to you with Leighton Why did you leave Wellington Boy do we need someone who can think for themself in that mad house. Have decided to read some more History and not just the novels I currently read Shirer would be a good start
Good interview. I have ordered, "Betrayers of the Truth: Fraud and Deceit in Science".
