    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #139 · Slugs, Signals and Sacred Cows: From Garden Hacks to “Mr Global”

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com 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.   'FFT Radio (Food For Thought Radio)': https://fftradio.com'Rumble': https://rumble.com'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com'Streamster (multistreaming software)': https://streamster.io'The Jolly Heretic (Edward Dutton)': https://www.edwarddutton.com'Mike Graham (TalkTV)': https://www.talk.tv/hosts/mike-graham'Keir Starmer': https://www.keirstarmer.com'Ed Miliband': https://www.edmiliband.org'King Charles III (The Royal Family official site)': https://www.royal.uk/the-king'Miles Johnston – The Bases Project': https://thebasesproject.org'Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN)': https://republicbroadcasting.org'ArmReg (publisher of the Holocaust Encyclopedia)': https://armreg.co.uk'Katyn massacre (overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre'Aspidistra transmitter (Crowborough WWII site)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspidistra_(transmitter)'David Irving (author)': https://irvingbooks.com'Bishop Richard Williamson (biographical overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Williamson_(bishop)'Robert Faurisson (biographical overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Faurisson'Augustus II the Strong (biographical overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_II_the_Strong'Sobhuza II (biographical overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobhuza_II'Sultan Ibrahim Njoya, Kingdom of Bamum': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Njoya'King Saud (biographical overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saud_of_Saudi_Arabia'Buzz Aldrin (official)': https://www.buzzaldrin.com'Catherine Austin Fitts – The Solari Report': https://home.solari.com'Nick Redfern – Final Events (Anomalist Books)': https://www.anomalistbooks.com/book.cfm?id=64'Collins Elite (background overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collins_Elite'Robert Temple – A New Science of Heaven (Simon & Schuster UK)': https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/A-New-Science-of-Heaven/Robert-Temple/9781398503857'Peter Thiel (Thiel Capital)': https://www.thielcapital.com'Y Combinator': https://www.ycombinator.com'Cortical Labs (organoid intelligence)': https://www.corticallabs.com'Pong (video game overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong'Doom (1993 video game overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_(1993_video_game)'Nefarious (2023 film)': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14537248/'Helena Blavatsky (biographical overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_Blavatsky'Tupper Saussy – Rulers of Evil (overview)': https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/182733.Rulers_of_Evil'Rick Beato (music/production analysis channel)': https://www.youtube.com/@RickBeato'Gemini (Google AI)': https://gemini.google.com'ChatGPT (OpenAI)': https://chat.openai.com'Claude (Anthropic)': https://claude.ai

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #138· From Pirate Airwaves to Hidden Histories: A Night with Miles Johnston and Eli James

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com 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

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #137· Chickens, Compost, and Free Speech: Building the Good Life from the Ground Up

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.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

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #136 · From Blue Screens to Blockchains: A Chaotic Week and a Clear Path

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com 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

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #135 · With Matt Landman

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.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.   Food For Thought Radio' (FFT Radio): https://fftradio.com/'FrankenSkies' (Matt Landman’s documentary, official site): https://frankenskies.com/'Stop Geoengineering London' (rally info): https://stopgeoengineeringlondon.co.uk/'SCoPEx – Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment' (Harvard project overview): https://www.keutschgroup.com/scopex'CARE – Charged Aerosol Release Experiment' (background): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charged_Aerosol_Release_Experiment'Lynmouth Flood (1952)' (overview): https://www.rmets.org/metmatters/day-lynmouth-flood-1952'YASA' (axial‑flux electric motors): https://yasa.com/'Koenigsegg' (official site): https://www.koenigsegg.com/'JCB – Hydrogen Engines' (official sustainability page): https://www.jcb.com/en-US/explore/sustainability/hydrogen/'Johnson Matthey' (catalysis/PGM technologies referenced): https://matthey.com/'Wilhelm Reich' (biography overview): https://www.britannica.com/biography/Wilhelm-Reich'Club of Rome' (context referenced): https://www.clubofrome.org/'United Nations – 2030 Agenda / SDGs' (official hub): https://sdgs.un.org/2030agenda'World Economic Forum' (referenced): https://www.weforum.org/'Spero Protection Clothing' (Matt Landman’s EMF‑shielding apparel): https://speroapparel.com/'Sonya Poulton' (journalist; link hub incl.

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #134· Home Births, Hard Truths: Whistleblowing, Status and Sovereignty

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com 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 André) 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 André' (film page): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082783/'Findhorn Foundation': https://www.findhorn.org

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #133 · Brazil, Werewolves, Clockism

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com 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.

    PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #132 · Broken Toasters, Fixed Communities: Repairing Food, Speech,and Sense

    Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com 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 Café 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.   'Rumble (show simulcast platform)': https://rumble.com'YouTube (show simulcast platform)': https://www.youtube.com'Repair Café Foundation (community repair movement Thomas mentioned)': https://www.repaircafe.org/en/'Girlguiding UK (policy discussions referenced)': https://www.girlguiding.org.uk'Club of Rome (context for environmental policy debates)': https://www.clubofrome.org'Bayer (parent company of the former Monsanto)': https://www.bayer.com'Starlink (rural connectivity noted in the episode)': https://www.starlink.com'Leo Kottke (artist briefly featured/mentioned)': https://www.leokottke.com'The Beatles – Sgt.
