About This Podcast
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.
