Lindsay Perigo

Lindsay Perigo (born December 14, 1951) is a former New Zealand television and radio broadcasting personality, founding member and first leader of the Libertarianz political party and an Objectivist organisation called Sense of Life Objectivists (SOLO).

Throughout the 1980s and early 90s, Perigo was considered Radio New Zealand’s, then Television New Zealand’s, foremost political interviewer. He astonished many, in a career-defining move, by quitting television work altogether in 1993, in the process denouncing TVNZ news and current affairs as "brain dead". Thereafter he returned to radio for several years, with a libertarian show on Radio Pacific and on the now defunct Radio Liberty [Coddington, Deborah. "Perigo! Politically Incorrect", Radio Pacific Publishing, Auckland, 1999.] .

Perigo is former editor of the "Free Radical", a libertarian/Objectivist magazine founded by him with backing from David Henderson in 1994. Deborah Coddington, former "Free Radical" assistant editor, wrote a biography of Perigo entitled "Politically Incorrect" in 1999, which was published by Radio Pacific [Coddington, Deborah. "Perigo! Politically Incorrect", Radio Pacific Publishing, Auckland, 1999.] .

He is a noted fan of singer Mario Lanza, having written the foreword for Armando Cesari's Lanza biography, "Mario Lanza: An American Tragedy" [Cesari, Armando. [http://www.amazon.com/Mario-Lanza-American-Tragedy-Voices/dp/1880909669 "Mario Lanza: An American Tragedy"] , Baskerville Publishers, 2004.] . He has interviewed Jose Carreras [Perigo, Lindsay. [http://youtube.com/watch?v=zmIhoVrwQTE Lindsay Perigo interviews star tenor José Carreras (Part 1)] , 1994.] and Luciano Pavarotti, and appeared with Dame Malvina Major in a television tribute to Pavarotti in September 2007 [Campbell Live. [http://youtube.com/watch?v=tET3P-xBL8U "Pavarotti Remembered: Lindsay Perigo & Dame Malvina Major"] , September 2007.] .
