This week we leaned into Orwell’s mirror. Kicking off with Eric Blair/George Orwell and the BBC in our sights, we unpacked the “mainstream media mendacity” of the week, including the BBC’s editing controversies and Talk’s sacking of breakfast host Mike Graham, and asked what these moments reveal about how news is shaped, sold and enforced. From Question Time to Doctor Who, we explored how culture gets nudged, and why calm, plain‑spoken persuasion beats lectern‑thumping in winning minds back from propaganda. Along the way we played Van Morrison’s Educating Archie and They Own the Media to soundtrack a bigger question: who frames the narrative—and how do we take that power back? With Eric von Essex and Nathan Lucius, the conversation ranged from Edward Bernays and the long arc of PR, to the Fabian roots behind “1984,” to Enoch Powell’s blunt warnings about political cowardice. We revisited establishment scandals (Savile, Mountbatten, the Krays), debated the charity-industrial complex, and even took a geeky pitstop in the Linux vs. Windows trenches. Nathan also previewed his Saturnalia‑season event with Steve James and Mark Devlin, diving into the esoteric threads behind Christmas lore. Bottom line: keep your sense of humour, keep your wits, and keep building the parallel media we want to see.
