Left Foot Media

Left Foot Media

After many years of increasing frustration about the marginalisation, misrepresentation and biased presentations of authentically conservative voices and ideas by the mainstream media we decided to launch Left Foot Media. We are proud of the Judeo-Christian natural law ethic which underpins our approach to the big issues of today. Not only do we believe it to be a timeless and dependable guide to discerning goodness, truth and beauty, but it is also the fundamental reason for our commitment to an ethos of charitable dialogue and in-depth conversation. Whether it’s our livestreams, our video interviews, or our podcasts, almost all of our content is long-form. Some of our guests are well known, others are not. All of them are given the space to speak freely about their stories and the ideas that matter to them. If you’ve got something important or interesting to say, we think it should be heard and discussed. Our hope is that Left Foot Media can be a “little platoon” (to borrow a phrase from the great Edmund Burke) which fosters charitable dialogue and leads you to a deeper examination of ideas big and small. Thanks for being with us on the journey! Brendan Malone
