What a gloriously shambolic start to Episode 114—timers firing, music miscuing, and Shakespeare nearly breaking in—before we settled into a lively Thanksgiving-night broadcast on WBN. I recapped last week’s absence (no, I wasn’t abducted by Othello) and then welcomed Steven from Milkalicious, a Manchester-area dairy farmer thrust into the deep end by processor consolidation and contracts gone sour. Steven laid out the reality on British dairying in 2024–25: processors dictating terms, phones that don’t get answered, and a 40% price gap between supplier classes. His answer? Go direct. He’s now selling raw and soon pasteurised milk to the public, with butter, cheese and ice cream on the way—proof that a farmer‑to‑family “food revolution” is moving from talk to traction. We also covered vending plans, local delivery ideas, and why short, local supply chains beat fragile, centralised systems every time.
In hour two, the indefatigable Monica Schaefer joined to discuss free speech, writing to prisoners (including Alfred), and Canada’s raw‑milk prohibitions. We roamed from platform failures and mask mandates to Magna Carta, cultural decay, and why rebuilding health begins with real food, real farms and real community. If you care about sovereignty—of your plate, your purse, your speech, and your soul—this one’s for you.
