Leighton Smith Podcast #292 - July 9th 2025 - A Tribute to Professor Des Gorman - The Leighton Smith Podcast

A Tribute to Professor Des Gorman

After interviewing Des Gorman for Podcast 105, this is what we wrote for the podcast email…

“This week we drill down on the knowledge, wisdom and opinion of of Des Gorman, Professor of Medicine in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland.

Of course, Covid-19 but we talk about many other matters that affect us all. We discuss science, philosophy, education, intelligence, the shortcomings of governance and what binds us together.

Share it with your friends... and the not so friendly.”

We can’t think of any good reason to change that for our tribute replay of that discussion in podcast 292. His opinions will remain valid… maybe even more so, with the passing of time.

At age 71, Des Gorman died a week ago, on July 2nd. He became a good friend and will be sorely missed.
