    A lively, occasionally bumpy (blame the gremlins) first hour with finance whistle‑blower Iain Clifford set the tone as we unpacked his four‑decade journey from wealth management and a joint venture with Bank of Scotland/HBOS to blowing the lid on how modern banking really works. We dug into credit creation “ex nihilo”, why regulators so often serve the banks rather than the public, and how House Joint Resolution 192 (June 5, 1933), the Bills of Exchange Act 1882 and today’s DTCC/Cede & Co. plumbing shape the world most people never see. Iain outlined his Republic of Old Souls/ROS Media work and teased his new weekly FFT Radio programme, promising plain‑English breakdowns of signatures, “persons”, nominees and practical routes to lawfully redirect tax flows. Hour two switched gears with Eric in the studio: weather moans gave way to food systems, Dutch agri‑tech, Clarkson’s Farm and Rotterdam’s Floating Farm; plus a spirited riff on everyday bureaucracy versus local ingenuity. We closed on first principles: rebuild community, support farmers, grow food, and keep conversations like this wide open—here every Thursday night, and with Iain back at midday Fridays on FFT Radio from next week.'Food For Thought Radio' (FFT Radio): https://fftradio.com/'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com/Iain Clifford – official site: https://iainclifford.com/ROS Media Platform (Republic of Old Souls): https://rosmediaplatform.com/Unity News Network (UNN): https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/Bank of England – Money creation in the modern economy (2014, Quarterly Bulletin): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/quarterly-bulletin/2014/money-creation-in-the-modern-economy.pdfFederal Reserve Bank of Chicago – Modern Money Mechanics (booklet): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Modern_Money_Mechanics.pdfHouse Joint Resolution 192 (Gold Clause Resolution), June 5, 1933 – Statutes at Large: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-48/pdf/STATUTE-48-Pg113.pdfBills of Exchange Act 1882 (UK) – original text: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/45-46/61/enactedProfessor Richard Werner – official site and publications on bank credit creation: https://professorwerner.org/Werner (2014) – Can banks individually create money out of nothing?

    I level with you right up front: the first two hours are fine, but the final hour suffers from gremlins. We wrestle with a brand‑new studio setup, triage a mess of routing issues, and keep the show rolling regardless. Once we’re stable, Eric Von Essex drops in for our usual ramble: the week’s wobbly English weather, battle‑scarred classic cars, and why small technical wins feel huge. Hour two welcomes Kizzy (Karen Dodd), who charts her journey founding The Freedom Network in 2020, the ups and painful downs of local organising, and why she’s focusing her energy on community, intuition and practical uplift. We talk parallel media, music from independent creators, and her Shine & Rise mini‑gathering centred on frequency, intention and doing the work within—plus why laughing at the powers that be is sometimes the sanest response.

    We also range across policing, community self‑help, and who trains the trainers; the growth of local patrol models; and the importance of asking sharper questions without getting baited into stupidity. Along the way we compare notes on tools (Restream, StreamYard), platforms (Rumble/YouTube via Radio Soapbox), and projects like Food Finders Hub and FFT Radio’s expanding schedule. Hour three connects to Roger Sales in Ecuador—beautiful place, brutal latency—so we’ll bring him back soon for a proper, clean run. Thanks for bearing with the hiccups; once the lines stop crackling, it’s a lively night out at the virtual pub.'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com'Food For Thought Radio' (station site): https://fftradio.com'Radio Soapbox' (live links hub): https://radiosoapbox.com'Food Finders Hub' (local food directory): https://foodfindershub.com'Restream' (multistreaming tool): https://restream.io'StreamYard' (browser studio): https://streamyard.com'A Stand in the Park' (about page): https://www.astandinthepark.org/about/'Shomrim London' (community safety patrol): https://www.shomrimlondon.org/'Patriotic Alternative' (official site): https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/'Chatham House' (Royal Institute of International Affairs): https://www.chathamhouse.org/'Bank of England' (official site): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/'The Light Paper' (official site): https://thelightpaper.co.uk'My Dinner with AndrĂ©' (film page): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082783/

    A lively, good-humoured night in the shed turned into one of our most thought‑provoking shows yet. We kicked off with heatwaves, wigs, doors hanging on a single hinge and a barrage of dad jokes, before diving into the fast-moving world of AI: how to ask better questions, “steelmanning” opposing views, on‑device models, image understanding for medical second opinions, and why prompts are quickly becoming the ultimate skill. In hour two, Robin Hood joined us to outline his case that most modern courts act as tribunals trading on presumption, and to explain why jurisdiction, proper warrants and signed orders matter if you ever find yourself facing bailiffs or police powers. We then welcomed back Monica Schaefer, fresh from a spell of fiddle-playing and community dancing, for a serious segment on Canada’s MAID policy and a personal account of legacy‑media attacks on her late father’s medical work in the North. We examined how atrocity narratives gain traction, why verification matters (from Kamloops to hospital myths), and why reclaiming culture, community and clear thinking is every bit as important as critiquing the system.'Food For Thought Radio': https://fftradio.com'Paul English Live': https://paulenglishlive.com'Rumble': https://rumble.com'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com'Mark Andreessen (a16z bio)': https://a16z.com/author/mark-andreessen/'Netscape Navigator (overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator'The Joe Rogan Experience (Spotify)': https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk'Steelmanning (concept)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmanning'Cognitive behavioural therapy (NHS)': https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/talking-therapies-medicine-treatments/talking-therapies-and-counselling/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt/'Westworld (1973 film)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(1973_film)'Yul Brynner': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Brynner'College of Policing (UK)': https://www.college.police.uk'Civil Procedure Rules (England & Wales)': https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil'Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/43/contents'Senior Courts Act 1981 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/54/contents'Fraud Act 2006 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/contents'Interpretation Act 1978 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1978/30/contents'Bill of Rights 1689 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMarSess2/1/2'Companies Act 2006 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/contents'Digital Economy Act 2017 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/30/contents'The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955 TV series)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood_(TV_series)'Medical Assistance in Dying (Canada)': https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying.html'Kamloops Indian Residential School (background)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamloops_Indian_Residential_School'Free Speech Monica (Monica Schaefer)': https://freespeechmonica.com

    We went fully live on FFT Radio for Episode 140 after some stubborn relay gremlins scuppered the YouTube and Rumble feeds. Once we settled in, I welcomed Kali Spell (host of Kali’s Breakfast Spell on FFT) for a spirited first hour that ranged from midwifery history and “portals” to the nuts‑and‑bolts of law versus legislation, juries, and why plain‑spoken teaching matters if we want more people standing with us. Hour two took us to southern Brazil with Helen Basinger, “the emotional cleaning lady,” who unpacked her Emotional Alchemy method for clearing trauma, raising personal frequency, and manifesting from a clearer place—plus a slice of small‑farm life with bananas, coffee plants and chickens. In hour three, Frederick (Blackbird9) joined us from stormy North Carolina to chew over US primary politics, money in elections, plasma/ether ideas from Robert Temple’s A New Science of Heaven, and why recovering older knowledge isn’t antiquarian—it’s practical. Between the tech hiccups and music interludes (Bonzo Dog Doo‑Dah Band got an outing), the thread was constant: decentralise, learn, organise in small cells, and keep speaking freely. If you missed the live stream, the full podcast is here and the FFT chat is always open.'FFT Radio (Food For Thought Radio)': https://fftradio.com/'FFT Radio – Public Telegram Chat': https://t.me/fftradio'Paul English Live (show hub)': https://paulenglishlive.com/'Kali’s Breakfast Spell (Callie Spell on FFT Radio)': https://fftradio.com/'Helen Basinger – Emotional Alchemy (official site)': https://helenbasinger.com/'Emotional Alchemy: The Architecture of Inner Transformation (book information)': https://books.google.com/books?id=M3ij0QEACAAJ'Blackbird9’s Trading Posts (podcast/site)': https://www.blackbird9tradingposts.org/'The Realm(e) of England (lawful/constitutional resources)': https://www.therealmeofengland.com/'Cestui Que Vie Act 1666 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/Cha2/18-19/11'Catherine Austin Fitts – The Solari Report (official site)': https://solari.com/'A New Science of Heaven – Robert Temple (publisher page)': https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/robert-temple/a-new-science-of-heaven/9781473623750/'Robert Temple – Official site (books and background)': https://robert-temple.com/books2.html'The Tolkien Estate (reference for The Lord of the Rings mentions)': https://www.tolkienestate.com/'Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs)': https://www.chathamhouse.org/'Fabian Society (official site/info)': https://fabians.org.uk/'London School of Economics (LSE)': https://www.lse.ac.uk/'Bonzo Dog Doo‑Dah Band (reference)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band

    I open the show with some quintessentially British weather chat, gardening gripes (slugs and compost hacks included), and a quick tech note on multi‑streaming the programme via Streamster while keeping an eye on lively chats across Rumble, YouTube and fftradio.com. From there we veer into a spirited discussion on politics, media narratives and civilisational drift, before refocusing on practical, local action and community‑minded solutions. Hour two features Jeff Roberts of ArmReg, discussing the research and publication of the Holocaust Encyclopedia, historical method, and why free inquiry meets so much resistance. In hour three, Etta Vogt joins from Chicago: we explore spiritual warfare, Catherine Austin Fitts’s “Mr Global” framing, the uneasy convergence of AI and biology (organoid intelligence), and cultural signals from books and films to changing currents in Silicon Valley. It’s an eclectic, challenging journey—equal parts hard questions, dark humour and stubborn optimism.

    We battled a few gremlins at the top of the show and compared notes on recent streaming hiccups between Rumble and YouTube before settling back into our usual rhythm. I talked through possible schedule tweaks for this programme and the growing FFT Radio line-up, then welcomed Eric Von Essex to chew over the week: elections, tech tantrums, garden fences and the strange comfort of bell-ringing and early-morning radio. Hour two featured broadcaster and researcher Miles Johnston, who traced a vivid, first-hand history of Ireland’s pirate radio era—Big D, Sunshine, Radio Nova—and how that creative wave, engineering craft and “Optimod” sound shaped broadcasting across these islands. From there we ventured into his current interests: frequency and field effects, the Bell, megaliths and interdimensional ideas, plus why so much of official history feels curated. In hour three, Eli James joined from Arkansas to discuss media capture, lawfare around groups like SPLC/ADL, demographic engineering, and the spiritual and cultural stamina required to build alternatives. A lively, occasionally provocative tour across radio past, contested present and possible futures—all with you alongside in the chat.'Rumble': https://rumble.com'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com'FFT Radio' (Food For Thought Radio): https://fftradio.com'StreamYard' (live streaming studio): https://streamyard.com'The Bases Project' (Miles Johnston): https://thebasesproject.org'Radio Caroline' (official site): https://www.radiocaroline.co.uk'Q107 Toronto' (CILQ‑FM): https://q107.com'CHUM‑FM Toronto': https://www.iheartradio.ca/chum'SPLC — Southern Poverty Law Center': https://www.splcenter.org'ADL — Anti‑Defamation League': https://www.adl.org'Oxford University Press': https://global.oup.com'Rick Beato (music educator) YouTube channel': https://www.youtube.com/@RickBeato'Patrick Moore — The Sky at Night' (BBC): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mk7h'Richard Vobes (presenter/filmmaker)': https://www.richardvobes.com'Mark Devlin (author/broadcaster)': https://www.markdevlin.co.uk'Ford Motor Company': https://www.ford.com'Prime Minister of Israel — Official': https://www.gov.il/en/departments/prime_minister'Saturn Death Cult (Troy McLachlan)': https://saturniandeathcult.com

    A lively, three-hour ramble that starts with some unavoidable streaming gremlins (now tamed) and an invite to listen direct via fftradio.com. I catch up with Eric Von Essex on everything from thrift, real-food swaps and the resurgence of practical living, to over‑complicated technology, surveillance creep and why simple, repairable kit still matters. In hour two, farmer Mark drops in with a brilliant chicken run debrief (six birds, one operatic cockerel) and no‑nonsense growing tips you can act on this weekend: potatoes in buckets, quick wins like lettuce and radish, beans up a fence, compost that actually works (yes to eggshells, nettles, comfrey and diluted urine), cheap and kind slug traps, plus using mulch and woodchip wisely. We also talk food security, group buying with local farmers and schools being nudged back into beds, fruit trees and hens. Hour three pivots to Canada with Monica Schafer: AI, age‑gating and the drive toward digital ID; the Tumbler Ridge shooting and a class action aimed at an AI firm; and campus culture at the University of Lethbridge, free inquiry versus mob theatrics, and how the long march through institutions shows up in real life. We close on solutions: rebuild local culture, grow food, dance, and choose optimism one practical step at a time.FFT Radio (listen live and chat): https://fftradio.comPaul English Live (show hub/player): https://paulenglishlive.comRumble (live streams): https://rumble.comYouTube (live streams): https://www.youtube.comElectronic Frontier Foundation (EFF): https://www.eff.org“A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” (John Perry Barlow, EFF): https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independenceB&Q (tools, garden and materials): https://www.diy.comLidl Great Britain (food shopping): https://www.lidl.co.ukIceland Foods (food shopping): https://www.iceland.co.ukUniversity of Lethbridge (context for the campus discussion): https://www.ulethbridge.caDistrict of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia (context for news reference): https://www.tumblerridge.caHarrogate Spring Flower Show: https://www.flowershow.org.uk

    A very human start this week: I battled the blue screen of death, a failed SSD and a last‑minute OBS install to get us on air. We swapped war stories about tech resilience, backups, lost jingles and the fine art of making tea, then veered joyfully into rail nostalgia (Liverpool Street, Fenchurch Street and the DLR), small EVs, and why public transport should be beautiful, punctual and built around people. We also nattered books and big ideas: Jesuits, history as told (and untold), and two dense tomes that prod you to question everything. Hour two, Gary Glendale joined to make the case for Bitcoin SV as a public, time‑stamped ledger for more than money: auditable records, private-by-choice messaging, and a route to provably honest administration. We explored affidavits, courts de jure, and why open ledgers could starve corruption, help farmers and small businesses transact, and put the public back in the driving seat. We wrapped with practical next steps: wallets, simple onboarding, and a future how‑to session so newcomers can try a small, low‑risk first purchase.'OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software)': https://obsproject.com'Signal Private Messenger': https://signal.org'Telegram Messenger': https://telegram.org'Bitcoin SV (Bitcoin Association)': https://bitcoinsv.com'Transport for London – Docklands Light Railway (DLR)': https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/dlr/'Bank of England': https://www.bankofengland.co.uk'Georgetown University': https://www.georgetown.edu'Amazon Web Services (AWS)': https://aws.amazon.com'Microsoft Azure': https://azure.microsoft.com'Bill Hicks (official site)': https://billhicks.com'Rumble': https://rumble.com'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com https://metanetapps.com'Metanapps': https://metanetapps.com

    Three hours that flew. We opened with some unapologetically British scene‑setting (time‑zones, signal checks and a studio full of good humour) before I shared a small, human story about helping an elderly neighbour after a tumble – a reminder that ordinary kindness still matters. From there we roamed: the creep of platform censorship and why we simulcast on Rumble/YouTube while building Food For Thought Radio; the state of motorsport and cars (from Koenigsegg’s mad hybrids to axial‑flux motors at YASA and JCB’s hydrogen engines), and how ‘smart’, network‑tethered tech too often means control. Hour two brought our guest, filmmaker and campaigner Matt Landman (FrankenSkies), for a brisk primer on geoengineering/chemtrails, EMF exposure, and the politics and language that surround them (SCoPEx, NASA’s CARE, cloud‑seeding history, Lynmouth 1952). We talked farms, soil life and bees, peer pressure vs speaking up, and Matt’s Stop Geoengineering London rally at Marble Arch on Saturday, 20 June, 2pm. In hour three we stitched the cultural threads together – media narratives, technocracy, and why local action, community radio and simply turning up (at markets, meetings and rallies) is how we push back with good grace and good information.

    Live on Thursday, 9 April 2026, Eric (heroically croaky) and I opened with a wide‑ranging hour that ran from crop‑circle “plans” and free‑energy folklore to the practical question of how you’d actually release a breakthrough safely—open source, decentralised, and everywhere at once—rather than letting it be buried. That flowed into a bigger theme: taking back agency in everyday life, from transport and tools to status, law, and the creeping bureaucracy that gags common sense. We also played a short Lord Monckton clip to kick the energy-policy hornet’s nest and revisited cultural touchpoints (Chris Rea, the Doobie Brothers, and that chilling monologue from My Dinner with AndrĂ©) as mirrors for the moment.

    Hour two featured former NHS midwife and whistleblower Victoria Rixon, who set out—plainly and bravely—what she witnessed on the wards: chronic understaffing, policy over care, and the trauma that followed. She made the case for restoring true midwifery and normalising home birth, and we discussed how families can rebuild confidence outside rigid pathways. In hour three, Etta Vogt joined from Chicago to talk data centres, digital IDs, prepping, architecture, and why local, human‑scale solutions beat managed dependency. A spirited, sometimes sobering, always human conversation about power—who holds it, and how we take it back.'Paul English Live': https://paulenglishlive.com'Food for Thought Radio': https://fftradio.com'The Slingshot Channel (Jörg Sprave)': https://www.youtube.com/@JoergSprave'Chris Rea (official)': https://www.chrisrea.com'The Doobie Brothers (official)': https://thedoobiebrothers.com'My Dinner with AndrĂ©' (film page): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082783/'Findhorn Foundation': https://www.findhorn.org

    In tonight’s wide‑ranging live show we eased in with blue‑skies-and-shorts weather chat before diving into flying lore and “the right stuff” — from test pilots and Chuck Yeager to Tom Wolfe’s classic and its 1983 film. We pulled on the daylight saving thread (Hannah Fry’s case against clock changes, Franklin’s satire, and William Willett’s campaign), weighed up preparedness and simple food stores, and swapped practical foraging tips (nettles, dandelions, cleavers) and old‑school sundials. In hour two, my friend Helen joined us from southern Brazil to describe building Terra Nova — a small, self‑reliant hamlet of orchards, beans, fish ponds and flocks — and her therapeutic work tackling trauma and (as she frames it) demonic attachments. We closed with Graham Linehan’s “werewolf” game analogy for informed minorities, a nudge toward peaceful non‑compliance and community action, and a pair of musical palate cleansers: Slim Gaillard’s Selling Out from Absolute Beginners and a fresh cut from Manchester’s David Rybka. As ever, we skipped the sponsor guff and kept it practical: skills, food, gardens, and the right people around you.

    In this lively three-hour edition I open with the clocks-about-to-change chaos and a bit of studio mayhem, before settling in with Eric for a wide-ranging, cheeky catch‑up that swerves from timekeeping and sneezes to surveillance-laden insurance apps, older vs newer cars, and the slow hollowing‑out of our high streets. We also touch on online creators and free speech workarounds (Cockney rhyming slang, anyone?), and the perennial question of how to speak plainly without getting throttled by censors. Hour two welcomes Thomas Anderson from Germany. We dig into his Repair CafĂ© work, practical skills across generations, and the structural squeeze on farmers—subsidies to leave land idle, supermarket leverage, and how communities might rebuild local food systems (from allotments to direct farmer–household contracts). We explore grow‑at‑home ideas like chufa and sunchokes, and the case for indoor growing. In hour three, Monica Schaefer joins to wrestle with self‑censorship, how to reach different audiences, “learned helplessness,” and why clear, courageous speech plus real‑world action matter if we’re to repair not just toasters—but our food, towns, and culture.

    It’s Thursday, 19 March, and we’re back live with an hour of weather chit‑chat, bike‑ride oddities and a spirited detour into politics, history and first principles. Eric Von Essex drops in with tales from Cheshunt to the Lee Valley (including National Nutter Day contenders), DIY fixes for foggy headlamps, and his very serious Fockem Poll—where Lassie and Skippy are neck‑and‑neck for “prime monster”. From there we pivot to the bigger stuff: what leadership should look like, a withering read‑aloud on Keir Starmer’s temperament, and why so many of us sense something missing in modern public life. In hour two, Steve James (Occult Academy) joins us for a deep, clear tour of natural law, moral relativism, and militarism—drawing on his own service experience to argue why authority without morality devours freedom. We range from Hastings and the Domesday Book to Smedley Butler’s “War is a Racket,” Adam Curtis on public relations and desire, and how to reclaim agency without sliding into nihilism. It’s lively, occasionally daft, and firmly pointed at the same North Star: do no harm, take no nonsense, and build something better—locally, practically, together.'Rumble (platform)': https://rumble.com'YouTube (platform)': https://www.youtube.com'WD‑40 (product)': https://www.wd40.com'Viz (magazine)': https://viz.co.uk'The Sooty Show (official site)': https://www.thesootyshow.co.uk'English Heritage: 1066 and the Battle of Hastings': https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/battle-abbey-and-battlefield/history-and-stories/1066-battle-of-hastings/'UK National Archives: Domesday Book': https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/domesday-book/'Smedley D.

    A lively, free‑wheeling late‑start show that meanders from UFOs and British TV nostalgia to oil myths, bikes, and the soul of sport, before landing on AI’s future and how decentralisation could put real power back in local hands. I share why Rick Beato’s video on open‑source, on‑device AI lit a fire under me, how home‑run models might mirror the way music left big studios, and why community tools, local trade, and even analogue crafts could thrive again. Along the way we riff on nicotine lozenges vs. brain fog, the strange comfort of cycling pain, the danger and glory of the Isle of Man TT, and the need to rebuild family, food, and finance from the ground up — including thorny topics like inheritance and birth certificates, and the launch plans for Food For Thought Radio. It’s a mate‑in‑the‑pub kind of episode: laughs, tangents, a couple of tunes, and a serious undercurrent — how to live better, more locally and independently, while the official world grows ever more daft.

    Episode 129 took the usual meandering pub‑style route before locking onto a theme: All wars are bankers’ wars. We opened with light relief—gardening chat, fuchsias, chickens finally laying in the sunshine, the great organic vs supermarket egg debate, frying tips, and Saturday‑morning pancakes—before the tone sharpened into media scepticism and how manufactured narratives shape public consent. From there we welcomed our guest “the f in farmer,” who gave a grounded view from the fields: why local food matters, how farmers are squeezed, and how peer‑to‑peer digital cash (Bitcoin SV) could let producers sell eggs, beef and veg directly to listeners without middlemen or punitive fees. We dug into practicalities (wallets, on/off‑ramps, transaction costs) and the case for building a parallel marketplace that actually buys real goods (yes, wonky carrots) rather than just speculating. Along the way we touched Michael Rivero’s All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars, Godfrey Bloom’s central‑bank critique, a Thomas Massie clip on perpetual war budgets, and spun a Divine Comedy track—Infernal Machines—as a wry nod to how tech may upend “work” next. The takeaway: stop waiting for institutions to fix themselves; start transacting with one another, locally and directly, and starve the system of the consent—and the fees—it feeds on.Paul English Live (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com/Bitcoin SV (BSV) – official blockchain site: https://www.bitcoinsv.com/HandCash (BSV wallet): https://handcash.io/ElectrumSV (desktop BSV wallet): https://electrumsv.io/Orange Gateway (fiat on/off‑ramp for BSV): https://www.orangegateway.com/Michael Rivero – All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars (video): https://rumble.com/v5hkl6p-all-wars-are-bankers-wars.htmlGodfrey Bloom – European Parliament speeches and banking critique: https://godfreybloom.uk/videos/Rep.

    A lively, freewheeling show—after a gloriously bumpy tech start—ranging from sodden sheds and stubborn doors to square dancing plans and why laughter is “biological warfare” against anxiety. I’m joined first by Eric Von Essex for wry observations on rain-soaked Britain, sheds, and the creeping bureaucratic state, before we veer into reading, resilience and why analogue hi‑fi still sings. We pick apart institutionally induced stress, touch on BAFTA’s Tourette’s kerfuffle, and celebrate politeness and humour as cultural superpowers.

    Hour two welcomes Monica Schaefer from snowy Canada for a candid update and a spirited defence of community, courtesy, and doing more of the things that lift us—books, music, and even a good square dance. In hour three, Eli James drops in to talk media narratives, censorship, history, money, and why more people are finally questioning the “official” stories.

    In this wide‑ranging live show, I kick off with lighter nights, AI artwork and a hot‑air detour before settling into a spirited hour with Eric Von Essex and returning guest Gary Glendale. We trade stories from airships to “dropping a clanger,” the madness of modern bureaucracy and subscription cars, and the week’s polls on government and global threats. We also wade into difficult territory: media distractions, the Epstein files, child protection failures, and how fear and propaganda fracture communities. Hour two turns to money, power and food sovereignty. Gary unpacks the difference between money and currency, why usury and debt underpin control, and how a practical, low‑fee, peer‑to‑peer payments rail can help farmers and locals trade directly—my “wonky carrots” test. We touch on gold myths, WWII history, and play thought‑provoking clips (Michael Hudson, The International, Godfrey Bloom). The upshot: organise locally, build parallel exchange, and keep your sense of humour while we do it.

    A lively, free‑wheeling show that starts with Valentine’s banter and studio shenanigans before settling into a wide‑ranging discussion on witches, wise women and the hostile takeover of folk medicine. We explore how church and state persecution, the Malleus Maleficarum and later medical industrialisation sidelined community healers, and contrast that with practical, home‑based care: herbalism, midwifery, and everyday remedies. Guests Nathan and Holly join to share hands‑on wisdom: the “thieves” essential‑oil blend story, foraging (wild garlic, dandelion, cleavers), apple‑cider vinegar, fermented foods, onions and garlic, plus supportive nutrients such as zinc, NAC and glutathione. We also touch on oral health hacks (coconut oil and turmeric), nicotine lozenges, and the broader cultural myths that shape how we think about health, power and history—rounded off with a nod to Monty Python and classic telly nostalgia.

    A lively, wide‑ranging show that began with a bit of studio sound wrangling and Valentine’s Day banter soon turned into a deep dive on folk healing, “witch hunts” and the politics of medicine. I set the scene with Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English’s Witches, Midwives, & Nurses and the Malleus Maleficarum, then welcomed Nathan Lucius and Holly for a practical tour of village herbalism: thieves‑blend lore, why onions, garlic, ferments and apple‑cider vinegar still earn their keep, and when nicotine (taken cleanly) can be useful. We contrasted communal, women‑led care traditions with top‑down institutions, touched Codex Alimentarius and psychopathy research, and swapped tips from kitchen to hedgerow—candid, hands‑on, and very human.

    Along the way we roamed cultural touchstones and curios: UK Column and Jerm Warfare interviews, Dustin Nemos’ long‑form chat, Erich von DĂ€niken and Graham Hancock on deep history, the Oera Linda debate, Playford’s country‑dance tunes and Steeleye Span, plus Bewitched and Monsters, Inc. for a wink at pop portrayals of “witches” and fear. A spirited, sometimes provocative pub‑table ramble—rooted in curiosity, care, and keeping our wits about us.

    Tonight’s show starts in classic fashion: a grumble about a very British Thursday and a royal wave from King Eric von Essex, before we settle into two big themes—how institutions lose the plot, and how we can build outside them. I tee up Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s “theory of stupidity” as a lens on today’s public discourse, then we range through history’s money games—from Bretton Woods to Executive Order 6102—asking why courts, regulators and media so often protect the racket. In hour two, Gary Glendale joins us to dig into money-as-commodity, Bitcoin SV (BSV), and why digital signatures and on‑chain records matter if we want private trade, verifiable contracts and real discovery—plus how farmers, makers and local buyers could actually use this right now. We also swap notes on MrBeast‑scale distribution, NIST’s WTC work, and practical steps: start small, buy local, and make the tools useful enough that people choose them.

    Along the way we wrangle a Soapbox hiccup, shout out Food for Thought Radio’s growing schedule, and point you to places where the rubber meets the road—from FoodFindersHub and “Six Inches of Soil” to BSV resources you can explore yourself.

    ahA lively, free‑wheeling January catch‑up from the South Coast: we open with the weather, shorts-in-the-cold confessions, and a dose of radio mayhem before rolling into real talk on food independence, building out Food for Thought Radio, and the nuts‑and‑bolts graft of getting new voices on air. I share an uplifting listener letter and some proper belly laughs along the way, then welcome returning guest Monica Schaefer for a thoughtful, humane conversation spanning political prisoners, letter‑writing solidarity for her brother Alfred, and how to keep spirit and perspective when institutions fail us.

    We range widely: grassroots ideas like farmer‑to‑table networks and even a food token, old‑school cars versus EVs, recumbent bikes and rain capes, pocket watches and maple syrup, and frank reflections on history after revisiting They Shall Not Grow Old and All Quiet on the Western Front. Expect humour, a couple of choice songs, and plenty of plain speaking about governments, media, and the importance of building local, resilient communities.'Foodfinders Hub': https://foodfindershub.org'Paul English Live': https://paulenglishlive.com'Free Speech Monica' (Monica Schaefer): https://freespeechmonica.com'Truth and Justice for Germans' (Alfred & Monica Schaefer site): https://thetruthandjusticeforgermans.com'EV Carnage' (Tony Goodman) YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EVCarnageStreamYard (live studio platform): https://streamyard.comRumble: https://rumble.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.comOpera Browser: https://www.opera.comTelegram: https://telegram.orgThey Shall Not Grow Old (Peter Jackson) – Imperial War Museums page: https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/they-shall-not-grow-oldAll Quiet on the Western Front (2022) – Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81260280Jake Thackray (official site): https://www.jakethackray.co.ukTim Hawkins (comedian): https://timhawkins.netSinclair C5 (background): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_C5Casey Putsch (engineering/automotive) YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CaseyPutschGoldback (gold‑infused notes): https://www.goldback.comCaterham Seven (Lotus Seven lineage, kit/sports cars): https://www.caterhamcars.comKoenigsegg (boutique hypercars): https://www.koenigsegg.comLand Rover (heritage 4x4s): https://www.landrover.comMontezuma’s (UK chocolate mentioned): https://www.montezumas.co.uk
