Paul English Live

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Bonfire Night gave us the perfect springboard for a wide-ranging and incendiary conversation in episode 164. I was joined by returning guest Mike Burke and my ever-reliable foil Eric Von Essex as we dug into the history behind Guy Fawkes, the Gunpowder Plot, the King James Bible, Lewes Bonfire traditions,...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I kicked off this week’s show with a proper ramble through the little things that make life feel human — seaside walks, Halloween versus Bonfire Night, odd memories of bargain-bin fireworks, my son’s impressive new phone camera setup, a surprisingly lovely chat with a listener I met out walking, and even a...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I opened with the great biannual absurdity of the clocks changing, and Eric and I had plenty to say about the confusion, the faff and the wider sense that modern life is designed to make simple things harder than they need to be. From there we moved into a Dutch court case drawing in big names incl...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com After an irksome start wrestling with streaming gremlins, I settled in with Paul Gunson for a wide-ranging first conversation that moved from childhood questions about faith to biblical history, giants, Revelation, the antichrist, Noah, Nimrod, Gog and Magog, and the way ancient themes may still be playing...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com This evening’s show began in gloriously frazzled fashion, with Rumble refusing to cooperate and forcing us to improvise, but we settled in soon enough with the usual mix of absurdity and substance. I caught up with Eric Von Essex for a meandering and very entertaining opening hour that ranged from swollen...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Eli James joins us in hour 3 to chew over Rulers of Evil, 50 Years in the Church of Rome and The Two Babylons. Chainsaws and other sorted tosh in the first part of the show. 

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I opened this week’s show in a thoroughly autumnal mood, reflecting on the first real glow of the season, the strange sweetness of late September, and a memorial gathering that brought old friends, old bands and old memories back into sharp focus. From there we wandered, as we do, through Henley, black-and...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I opened the show in gloriously ramshackle fashion with Eric Von Essex, a moon-over-the-sea weather report, and far too much excitement about my broken kitchen door and the unexpectedly heroic walk to the studio. From there, the evening turned into a genuinely rich conversation with Anna Isabel, who explor...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com NOTE: we had an Issue connecting David to hence the slightly shorter show. I kicked off episode 156 with Eric Von Essex for one of our gloriously daft shed reports before we veered into the far less amusing business of war rhetoric, conscription chatter and the increasingly absurd language coming out of po...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I went gloriously off-piste before getting to the heart of the matter. We began with a ramble through names, old television, streaking, pipe smoking, nostalgia and the strange way the seasons now seem to be dictated for us, before settling into a broader discussion about newspapers, satire and whet...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I was joined by Mike Burke for a deep and provocative exploration of firearms law, the English constitutional tradition, and the long historical drift from common law into what he argues is an executive-controlled administrative system. We began with Dunblane, Hungerford and Port Arthur as key turn...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I was joined by Max Igan for a wide-ranging and lively conversation that moved from media control, censorship and surveillance technology to money, power, habit, and the deeper psychological machinery that keeps people compliant. Max reflected on how he first entered alternative broadcasting, from...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I opened the show with Eric Von Essex and a very English grumble about the heat, the odd light from the eclipse, and what this relentless weather might mean for crops, gardens and the wider food supply. That led us into a lively discussion about preparedness, local farming, hedgerow foraging and th...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com This week on Paul English Live, I was joined by Michelle and Maribel for a sobering and detailed conversation about alleged land registry fraud, insolvency abuse, court procedure, and the way property, data and finance can be used against ordinary people. From subject access requests and title records to c...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com In episode 150, I was joined by Justin Walker for a wide-ranging and lively conversation on banking, money creation, the City of London, the Bank for International Settlements, and the history and significance of the Bradbury Pound. We talked through Justin’s remarkable path into monetary reform, including...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I started the show with a bit of midsummer moaning, some breakfast-and-Marmite chat, and the usual live-radio chaos before we were joined by Charles Fernandez. Once we’d fought through the gremlins, Charles gave us a proper tour of the Willoughby world: his new Friday night show, The Willoughby Surgery, an...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I opened with one of those properly rambling midsummer editions of the show: heatwave moans, clouds, phones, football, self-censorship, old comedy, old music, and the general feeling that modern life is far too noisy and overcomplicated. Eric and I chewed over the week’s headlines, the way public d...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com Tonight I ended up with one of those gloriously unpredictable live shows where the moving parts somehow made the whole thing more fun. In hour one I crossed streams with Graham Moore for a proper bit of “incestuous radio”, broadcasting into each other’s shows while we dug into identity, constitutional hist...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com I opened this week’s live show with the usual mix of chaos and comedy, including a wrong jingle, a heatwave moan, and a surprisingly gripping update on the mystery of my radio-shed internet woes. After a visit from Virgin Media, a new router, a replaced splitter and a dash to Currys, the gremlins appear to...

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com In between the heatwave moaning, collapsing streams and general studio mayhem, Eric and I managed to cover a surprising amount of ground: British hot-weather absurdities, avocado-and-cocoa remedies, Marmite and coffee percolators, and the theatrical nonsense of modern political farewells. From there we dri...

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

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

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

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

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