PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #107 · paulenglishlive.com


It’s a crisp, autumnal Episode 107 and I’m back in the shed studio—with a joss stick on the go, shorts defiantly on, and conkers thudding off the roof—catching up with Eric, Paul and a lively live chat while we simulcast on Rumble and YouTube. We meander through the week’s moods: from media narratives and political theatre (digital ID, labels and language) to how we tell our own stories, community resilience, mesh communications, and the banking roots beneath so many headlines. Along the way we swap memories of leaf‑kicking childhoods, Mary Whitehouse, Eurotrash, lemmings lore, Formby and Potter, plus a cracking Danish blues cut for good measure. We touch on sobering moments—a listener health update, the weight of violent news, and history’s lessons—countered by practical steps: local organising, neighbourly food runs, and simple tech like Meshtastic. I revisit the Wörgl stamp‑scrip story, the perils of financial surveillance as voiced by Andrew Bailey, and why reclaiming our culture means telling better stories than the ones being sold to us. It’s a bar‑meet of a show: reflective, occasionally raucous, and firmly focused on keeping hearts warm and heads clear.
