The Bradbury Group is a no-holds-barred weekly political podcast from Martyn "Bomber" Bradbury. Unapologetically Left, fiercely independent, and born from the ashes of The Working Group, this is where real political debate lives. Each Tuesday, Bradbury and guests take on the big issues, call out the bad faith, and push back against the spin. Buckle up.

The Working Group used to be one of my favourites, where I'd come to hear a genuine debate of ideas. Now I'm deleting it. It used to be fun hearing Bomber go over the top and provoke the right and now he just gets on people who agree with him and so the whole shtick is just irritating at best.

A no-holds-barred weekly political show that centers sharp, left-leaning discourse on current events, domestic policy, and global geopolitics as they impact New Zealand.

A notable strength is its willingness to challenge mainstream narratives, mix one-on-one interviews with panel debates, and bring diverse perspectives—from Green and Māori Party voices to conservative critics—into fast-paced, provocative conversations. This blend makes it a strong fit for listeners who want unapologetic analysis, real-time polit... more
