Paid To Talk is a hard-hitting comedy podcast hosted by New Zealand cult icon Leigh Hart (Moon TV, Late Night Big Breakfast, Bhuja) and Matt Ward.
Each week, the lads tackle the big issues (and plenty of small ones) with questionable research, strong opinions and the occasional guest. Expect dry humour and the kind of chats that probably shouldn’t be recorded.

Your podcast is gold standard. I’m often seen walking down the street, AirPods in, laughing away to myself. Delivery spot on. Love the clear connection and riffing you guys have going on, and Matt’s facial expressions and glances at camera in response to Leigh’s thought bubbles are priceless. Keep it up. Best. Scott.
this pod cast could only be bested by being there while these modern day magicians work their magic from the serenity of yhe eco lodge where it would only be right to re live the anticts of the "big friday" to see who can delete pint of guiness the fastest!
I’d love to come on the show and discuss NZs favourite spring topic: lawns. Grass types, fescue? Ryegrass Poa cita? Choice of lawn mower, push? Petrol? Electric? Ride on? Now patterns, diagonal or checkerboard? When your mower won’t start, Whaddaya do? Whaddaya do?
Looking forward to the next one - it’s been a while. Love it. 10/10.

This show blends irreverent Kiwi humor with sharp banter between two long-running hosts, tackling current events, culture, and everyday absurdities through a steady stream of self-deprecating stories, outrageous hypotheticals, and guest appearances. Typical episodes mix dry wit, provocative bits, and light satire about media, politics, relationships, and technology, often sponsored by a beverage/electrolyte brand. Viewers should expect a casual, long-form chat style that isn't afraid to push boundaries for laughs, with recurring bits and a strong sense of local character and self-awareness. A standout aspect is the duo's willingness to chase offbeat ideas and controversial takes while keeping the tone playful and relatable, making it a good... more
