Bitcoin trail blazed the interest and development of digital money.
As a result, the drive for a cashless society with fiat currency being replaced with CBDCs is being pursued by an increasing number of countries.
Currently, that count is a worrying 130. The ultimate goal is a one world currency.
We discuss all of this with Aaron Day, author of “The Final Countdown, the People’s Last Stand Against Tyranny by Central Bank Digital Currencies”.
We comment on Grant Robertson and his new home at the University of Otago, and how higher education wrecks freedom.
And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
