Sean Plunket Loses Listeners Faster Than He’s Losing the Plot After Latest Meltdown
In what experts are calling a “rapid descent into podcasting purgatory,” Sean Plunket has reportedly shed listeners at a speed that rivals Elon Musk’s Twitter rebrand. The once-promising bastion of “independent media” has now become a full-time grumpy uncle yelling into a microphone, armed with a coffee mug, a barely-functioning internet connection, and an apron stained with journalistic integrity. This week’s highlight? A 5-minute tirade where he called his audience “paranoid cookers” before asking them to donate to the “Free Speech Fund.” The incident occurred during a live episode of The Platform, where Plunket became increasingly agitated with a guest on a phone interview. Visibly sweating and not even blinking, Sean launched into a rant about “tinfoil-hat losers and non existent injuries.” Ironically, this was moments before cutting to an ad break sponsored by the Labour Party .
Listeners dropped off the livestream faster than his 5G signal in rural Wairarapa. By Thursday, The Platform’s official Telegram channel was quieter than a Ministry of Health apology, with only three active users—two of whom turned out to be bots and the third a confused retiree trying to unsubscribe. Sean, however, remains undeterred, declaring on-air that “numbers don’t matter, truth does,” while furiously blocking long-time donors for asking about his recent change in tone. Sources say his next podcast episode will be titled “Why You’re the Problem”, with a planned follow-up called “Please Come Back.” Media commentators are beginning to question whether Plunket’s spiraling rage is a performance art piece or a cry for help. One former staff member said, “We thought he was joking when he shouted ‘I AM THE PLATFORM!’ but then he made us print it on a t-shirt.” Sean has also allegedly returned to reading paragraphs from Jacinda’s book, despite heavy listener disagreement. Meanwhile, Plunket remains committed to fighting for free speech—just not from anyone who disagrees with him. When asked whether he planned to reflect on his behavior, Sean reportedly muttered something about cancel culture and stormed out of the interview he had scheduled with himself. At this rate, the only platform he might soon have left is the one at the Masterton train station.
In what experts are calling …
Well if that isn’t the calling card of journalistic integrity!
hilarious.
where did you source that Ed, is it one of matuas pieces?
since michael laws has gone on holiday plonket has definately changed his demeanor and become much more of an angry desperate loser.
sean always brags he gets more callers then laws but sean just ragebaits people to call in and argue with him whereas mihaels callers are usually genuine talkback callers with robust conversation.
anyways the fuckwit goes on big attacking rants all the time and mocks a big chunk of his listeners then later that show or the next day he brings out the begging bowl… hes either too ignorant or 2 stupid to realise why many dont subscribe. even tho many message or call in and tell him exactly why.
hes now turned to calling critics live on air to have it out with them, hes getting pathetically desperate and its hilarious to troll the fuck outve the loser. anything anti israel or anti vax will trigger him.
Angry, desperate, rage baiting, ignorant, triggered
gee, sounds like..….. 🤔
Its the jabby, for sure he had a few.
Perhaps Wayne is pulling his funding as he has a big lot of dosh in a building up for sale. Mortgage with builder etc gone bad.
Talking of money and high society, the toy boys at Zuru seem to be pulling their heads in.
I guess cheap Chinese exports to the USA ain’t the same easy game it was.
Even the Zuru lady is withdrawing from her public exposure.
Watch that space.
Did not Shorn Plunket’s brother commit suicide in recent years (the last 5 years I guess)?
and has this affected him or are there mental health issues in the family.
I dont know.
Just a vague connection.
Seems he did have more than one brother. SB correct:

he was a druggy bum who either OD of self deleted.
Not unless he has two brothers.
since you don’t credit sources Mr Ed, was that your origination?
If so, something about living rent free….
One does not have to listen to Platform or any media .
lets face it most of the alternate media today is run by people who were decades in MSM
As I understand Plunket was.
.
And lets be clear, the great saviour from the south, Peter Williams (no relation to Sonny Bill) was one of the biggest offenders with decades upon decades earning his daily bread from the cesspit of them all, Teevee one.
He would have been there when they set out in 1989 to use public funds to drive the new non governmental Teevee Three off the air, and they bankrupted them in 6 months. which they internally celebrated.
teevee enzed did shit teevee for 2 years to build a savings fund to have good programming when Three came on air.
Govt Depts (and it was then) have long been full of wankers and troglodytes.
This was all in the Marcia Russell book; less strong language.
teevee one had the rights to the Auckland Commonwealth Games that opened weeks after TV3 and kindly allowed 30 seconds of footage per day.
Otherwise, total dicks then and now .
When the lunch-lady-turned-Finance-Minister, Nikki Willyless, could have done advanced study in actual finance, she chose to do churnalism instead.
Churnalism is OVER There.
We can chose where to graze.
and who to fund- sort of. our taxes pay for Red radio and Pink teevee one; fund the PIJF and were blown on an aborted merger.
All of that is true. Air NZ indulged in the same tactics. still does as far as I can tell. Act more surreptitiously these days. Use the regulator.
However, there are some bright lights.
I have for a long time watched this young lady.
She is quitting media for her own space. The nice thing is she is all out to support successful businesses.
Here is her latest interview. And yes, it’s her departing message with the herald.

I have known for a long time that Plunket is a Plonker. The only one on the Platform I ever bother with is Michael Laws, oh, and occasionally that Maori woman whose name I forget Lena something or other.
Never listen to it, never did. He is a cross between Greta in a man’s body with an NZ accent, and an obnoxious aussie that gate crashes parties, never stops talking, and eats all the food. The only time I listened was a few years ago when I heard the VFF ladies were going to be interviewed. The interview was like a verbal rape session.
He never lets anyone complete a sentence, or asks a question about what was said in order to gain understanding. In short, he is a prick.
He acts the same way with people he disagrees with as that UK EGO Piers Morgan
Leah panapa
She is good.
Talks too much about nothing
Tower of Pizza?
To over-simplify, the State can manage its deficit financing (paying for public stuff by borrowing) by:
a) collecting more in taxes (but the birth rate is crashing), or
b) printing more money.
I think they are going to inflate away the deficit. What do you think?
I don’t think inflation is going to go away.
As for capital gains, my house is still worth the same number of pub beers that I paid for it in 2001. I have only had a nominal capital gain; not a real capital gain.
As long as the FIAT system keeps going there will be inflation , tightening, loosening ,etc.
Dollar will be debased .
Debt will never be paid.
Only one solution.
That is the true test of value for capital gain: How many blocks of 500g butter is it worth?
I listen to The Platform every day from here in Phuket. Usually Sean first, then Michael. I switch off when Panapa comes on. I rate the guy.
I rate the guy.
More like the guy is irate at everyone.
Well, many fuckwits do call up. I would have a dump button with a background toilet flush sound on standby. “Hunty flushes again!”
plonket does make a good point when it comes to vax nutter losers tho, aka “cookers”.
they are fucking fried, we see that still almost daily on here, all feelz based anecdotal evidence with no actual proof.
alia fucked in the head bland was a perfect example of this the other week on seans show.
id fucking guarantee if you vax nutter losers had your own show and all you recieved was overwhelming pro vax, cindys amazeballs texts you too would lose your shit at them aswell.
to be fair he did give them a year or so before he said it was time to move on and to let go… but cookers cant cuz theyre over cooked.
anyways dunno if he read out my text the other day (or if im banned lol) but itll go well here.
butthurt vax nutters = cookers
5g and chemtrail nutters = air friers
flat earth nutters = hangi pits.
oh yeah can you nutter fuckwits please tell me when the hundreds of thousands of kiwis are spose to drop dead from the vax?
first it was 6 months, then 2 years, then when the 5g activates but all that has passed and sadly only a few deaths have resulted, not enough to even make a statistical spike backed by proof it was the jab…… yeah, didnt think you fuckwits could come up with an answer
