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.

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?
