Leigh Hart is bringing his distinctive wit and unique perspective back to the New Zealand airwaves  with a brand-new show on Radio Hauraki and a corresponding podcast.

The New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) show Paid to Talk will air each Friday with the catchup podcast having exclusive bonus content.

Todd Campbell, Content Director for Radio Hauraki, said:

“We are so excited to have Leigh Hart back ‘on-air’ at Radio Hauraki. He’ll be joined by his great mate Matt Ward who is well known to the Hauraki audience. It’s instant chemistry with these two, and a great way to kick off the weekend with some big laughs with Paid to Talk at 3pm and The Big Show from 4!”

Leigh Hart said:

“Although I have been in the New Zealand radio wilderness for a while, I have kept my hand in as the breakfast, drive time, late night talk-back host and newsreader on Caliente FM in Peru.

This was of course a challenge as Spanish was very much a second language to me. So I am excited to be back on the New Zealand airwaves in Paid to Talk with Matt Ward, better known as ‘Lobo de Noche’ or the Night Wolf. The show is called Paid to Talk, unfortunately however the listeners aren’t paid to listen, this will be offset by giving away air-fryers!”

Paid to Talk debuts today, Friday June 6 on Radio Hauraki at 3pm, with the podcast available on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
