Farmers Finance Show

This week on Farmers and Finance, I sat down with producer Paul for a wide-ranging conversation about scripture, conscience, power and money. We began with passages from Deuteronomy, Isaiah, 2 Timothy and Leviticus, using them as a springboard to discuss moral inversion, justice, accountability and the sense that modern institutions often reward the very behaviours they ought to restrain. From the...

I was joined by the Effing Farmer for a wide-ranging natter that started with Bitcoin, mesh networks and the idea of keeping payments and communications alive even if the internet goes down. We talked about the upcoming 5 November event near Knock in the west of Ireland, where the plan is to explore what Bitcoin was originally meant to be, how transactions can move over radio waves and local mesh...

In this episode of the Farmers and Finance segment, Paul and I explored how economic incentive shapes behaviour far more than most people realise. We started with the simple example of cars, status and security, then widened the lens to look at wealth, family life, farming, subsidies, inflation, debt and the way financial pressure can quietly steer personal and political choices. From there, we di...

In this Farmers Finance segment, we dug into the distinction between money and currency, and why so much public confusion begins there. We explored the language of securities, promissory notes, mortgages, bonds and proof of claim, and I pressed the argument that much of modern finance only makes sense once you ask what is actually being secured, by whom, and on what evidence. We also linked that t...

In this episode of FFT Radio’s Farmers and Finance segment, I was joined in the studio by producer Paul for a wide-ranging conversation about power, politics and public consciousness. We reflected on political violence in Japan, Peru and Britain, discussed why so many people never stop to question the systems they live under, and explored how fear, apathy, media narratives and the promise of comfo...

On this week’s Farmers and Finance segment, I was joined in the studio by producer Paul for a wide-ranging conversation that began with birds, instinct and the natural world before moving into the ways human beings lose touch with deeper wisdom. We talked about corvid intelligence, animal behaviour before disasters, and why modern life so often leaves us disconnected from the very signals nature s...

This week, Gary and I started with a seemingly simple story from CarFest that turned into a much bigger conversation: what does it really mean when a venue says it will not accept cash? We dug into the difference between money, currency and tokens, why convenience has steadily pushed people towards card-only and phone-based payments, and why that shift raises deeper questions about privacy, contro...

In this episode, I was joined in the studio by producer Paul for what began as a lively catch-up about his trip to CarFest at Silverstone and quickly turned into a full-on motorsport ramble. We traded stories about Formula 1, legendary drivers, the spectacle of old and modern cars sharing the same track, and the sheer cost of making it in racing. Paul also shared a brilliant story from his younger...

In this Farmers Finance segment, I sat down with Paul for a wide-ranging conversation about media, money and the battle for attention. We began with the growing visibility of voices such as Mark Attwood, Neil Oliver and Mike Graham, and talked about why communicators who can make difficult subjects digestible are becoming increasingly important. From there, we reflected on the challenge of getting...

This week on the Farmers and Finance Show, I sat down with producer Paul to look at the increasingly worrying picture coming from farming and food production. We talked through reports from farmers of lower yields, livestock pressures and disease concerns, and why so little of it seems to be making the mainstream headlines. From stocking up on basics at home to thinking seriously about local food...

In this episode of Food for Thought Radio, I sat down with producer Paul for a wide-ranging conversation about banking, currency, inflation, and the way financial systems shape power. We unpacked the Monopoly analogy of a bank that never runs out of money, explored the distinction between money and currency, and talked about why so many people never question the structure they live inside. From th...

This week on the Farmers and Finance segment, Paul and I ranged from the dry summer and worries over food supply into a much bigger conversation about the condition of farming, the fragility of the wider economy, and the way ordinary people are encouraged to think about price rather than value. We revisited my recent chat with Justin Walker and the history of the Bradbury Pound, using it as a jump...

On tonight’s Farmers Food and Finance segment, Paul and I began, improbably enough, with bananas, digestion and the small comforts of supper before moving into a much bigger conversation about power, secrecy and the stories that shape public understanding. We touched on Admiral Byrd and Operation Highjump, media narratives, conspiracy culture, the limits of physical resistance, and the idea that c...

In this week’s Farmers and Finance segment, I was joined by producer Paul and our guest F'in Pharma for a wide-ranging conversation about the pressure farmers are under, the economics of food production, and why so many people in farming feel trapped by a system that leaves them carrying the risk while others set the terms. We talked about soaring hardship in the sector, the impossibility of compe...

In this episode, I sat down with producer Paul for a wide-ranging conversation about the difference between economic influence and outright control, and how financial systems can be used to shape behaviour at scale. We explored the hosts’ view that power often works less through visible force and more through dependence, incentives and access to purchasing power. That led us into a broader discuss...

On this evening’s Farmers and Finance, I was joined by producer Paul for a wide-ranging chat that began rather close to home: my long-running broadband headaches. After finally getting an engineer out, a new router fitted, and an ageing Ethernet splitter replaced, I ended up with a far faster and more stable connection in the radio shed — proof that sometimes the simplest bits of kit are the real...

This week on the Farmers and Finance segment, Paul and I ranged from the day’s political and cultural headlines into a much bigger conversation about money, power and the systems that shape ordinary life. We discussed inflation, debt, banking, usury, fixed-supply digital money, and why so many people struggle to picture a financial system that genuinely serves communities instead of trapping them...

In this Farmers’ Finance segment of Food For Thought Radio, I reflect with producer Paul on an eye‑opening week of conversations and presentations about money, Bitcoin and power. We unpack an article that neatly stitches together the Bitcoin backstory with claims of central‑bank hostility, then ground the chat in verifiable history: Satoshi’s Genesis Block message, the first transaction to Hal Fin...

In this episode of Food for Thought Radio, I sit down with our producer Paul to unpack a fiery mix of farmers, food and finance, centring on the politics and technology shaping our economic future. We reflect on a recent interview with Rupert Lowe and the Restore Britain team about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the limits of centrally controlled platforms, and why decentralised systems...

Paul hosts a free‑wheeling Monday night chat with co‑host Gary that ranges from tea, weather and a brief disappearance for a glass of water to bigger questions about power, law and money. We reflect on Friday’s show with “Robin Hood,” whose courtroom‑focused activism sparks a debate about practical action versus systems thinking. From the Bank of England’s historic role to today’s tech platforms a...

In this Farmers and Finance segment of Food For Thought Radio, I sit down with producer Paul for a frank, free‑wheeling conversation about food culture, family, and money. We swap memories of shared meals and contrast them with today’s ultra‑processed convenience diets, touching on Jamie Oliver’s school‑food crusade and why rebuilding family tables matters. From there we dive into incentives: how...

Tonight I sat down with Andy from Wake TF Up Sovereign Signal to unpack listeners’ worries about 5G towers, Wi‑Fi 6/7 roll‑outs in UK schools, electromagnetic exposure, and what parents and grandparents can practically do right now. Andy outlined his letter‑writing toolkit aimed at pausing school‑based activations, cited WHO/IARC references on RF classifications and ICD coding, and argued for prec...

In this Farmers and Finance segment of Food For Thought Radio, I dig into why money matters for food security and national sovereignty. We explore the post–15 August 1971 fiat era, the nature of commodities versus securities, what case law says about fraud in transactions, and why I believe a commodity-like digital cash and data-integrity economy can give farmers, small businesses and micro‑enterp...

In this week’s Farmers and Finance segment on Food For Thought Radio, I dig into the difference between money and currency, why inflation pits neighbour against neighbour, and how an economy anchored to a genuinely scarce, economically positive asset could realign incentives toward lower prices, durable goods and thriving small enterprise. We explore the provocative idea that true “money” must be...

In this bank holiday Monday edition of Farmers and Finance on Food For Thought Radio, I’m joined in the studio by Producer Paul for a lively tour through today’s cost-of-living squeeze and why resilient households start with healthy soil and a compost heap. We react to a short news clip about UK food prices, then range into supply chains, the Strait of Hormuz, and the murky dance between treasurie...
