Paul English Live

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comTonight I opened episode 144 with a bit of housekeeping and humour, before welcoming Eric Von Essex and our guest Andy from Wake TF Up. We chatted about summer silliness, Scottish fans’ legendary thirst, and why our Thursday shows may now run two hours. Then we got serious: Andy laid out urgent concerns about Wi‑Fi 6/7 roll‑outs in UK schools, EMF exposure, and the increasing use of children’s biometrics. He explained his parent action pack of letters designed to force transparency and halt activations until proper safety evidence is produced. We also touched on censorship on X, the media’s selective hearing, and wider patterns of institutional capture affecting health, energy and education. In the second half, we compared lived experience with official narratives on public health, EMF, and energy policy, including the real‑world costs of wind power and the way insurance markets treat EMF risk. There was lively back‑and‑forth on personal mitigation (including nicotine anecdotes), the importance of lawful pushback, and why parents and grandparents must get proactive at school level. I closed with where to find Andy’s materials and an invitation to keep the conversation going in our community spaces.'World Health Organization (EMF Project)': https://www.who.int/health-topics/electromagnetic-fields'Lloyd’s of London': https://www.lloyds.com'UK Department for Education': https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education'NHS (National Health Service)': https://www.nhs.uk'Wi‑Fi Alliance: Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax)': https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-6'Wi‑Fi Alliance: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be)': https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-7'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com'Rumble': https://rumble.com'X (formerly Twitter)': https://x.com

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comA 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 Däniken 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.'Witches, Midwives, & Nurses' (Barbara Ehrenreich & Deirdre English), Feminist Press: https://www.feministpress.org/books-n-z/witches-midwives-nurses-second-editionMalleus Maleficarum (full text, public domain): https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Malleus_MaleficarumUK Column (independent news): https://www.ukcolumn.org/Jerm Warfare (podcast site): https://www.jermwarfare.com/podcast/Dustin Nemos (site): https://www.dustinnemos.com/Graham Hancock (official website): https://grahamhancock.com/Erich von Däniken (official website/estate notice): https://daniken.com/Oera Linda Book (overview): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oera_Linda_BookJohn Playford – The Dancing Master (1686 edition, online): https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Dancing_Master_(1686)Steeleye Span (official): https://steeleyespan.org.uk/Bewitched (series overview): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BewitchedMonsters, Inc.

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

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comA lively, freewheeling episode from the shed and studio: after the usual level‑wrangling mayhem with Eric Von Essex, we dive into the week’s UK digital‑ID climb‑down and what it might really signal, with a clip from Rupert Lowe sparking a wider chat about vigilance, media amnesia and not falling back asleep. From there we slip into dreamland proper: Paul has just finished a three‑week reread of The Lord of the Rings and shares what Tolkien’s prose, themes and the (missing‑from-the-film) “Scouring of the Shire” say about our present moment—the long shadow, the nature of power, and the work of restoring home. Peter Hitchens’ on‑air recitation opens a defence of poetry-by-heart in schools; we read Wilfred Owen’s Dulce et Decorum Est and compare screen and page—Peter Jackson’s They Shall Not Grow Old, Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives—and why sustained reading changes our inner weather. Hour two loosens the tie: humour (Hitchcock, Kenneth Williams, Monty Python, Hale & Pace) as medicine, and practical “building not brooding”: bone broth and GAPS basics; farmers, bowler hats and the coming Foodfinder’s/health hubs; local music for a new station; and even a detour into minting, money and BSV for resilient exchange. It’s equal parts rain‑lashed Britain, blue‑remembered hills, and plans to scour our own shires—together.J.R.R.
