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 out in modern politics and culture. We also got into debt, usury, gold, jubilees, birth certificates, trust law, CBDCs, and the claim that much of today’s political and financial disorder only makes sense when viewed through a spiritual and scriptural lens.
In the final hour, Eli James joined me for a looser but no less lively exchange on prohibition, Rockefeller influence, social engineering, the French Revolution, communism, egalitarian fantasies, and the practical incompetence of ideologues who want to rule other people’s lives. Along the way we managed to squeeze in Kipling, Jeff Beck, doors, fridges, prisons, practical life, and the broader problem of how modern people are manipulated into accepting systems that work against common sense, community, and human dignity.

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 front doors, broken locks and chainsaw-based home maintenance to the practical realities of trying to keep a crumbling house and studio in one piece. We also touched on the recent FFT solution summit, the challenge of keeping on top of a growing network of contacts and guests, and the idea of eventually turning the shed into a proper in-person interview space rather than always broadcasting remotely.
In hour two, Miles Johnston joined me for a wide-ranging discussion on antigravity, Victor Grebennikov, insect wing structures, Coral Castle, megalithic knowledge, Stonehenge, Tartaria, Antarctica, pole shifts and Lucy Wyatt’s book Approaching Chaos. In the final hour, Etta Volk brought her usual forceful energy to a conversation about propaganda, historical narratives, censorship, immigration, social fracture and the sense that younger generations may now be more willing to challenge official stories than their parents ever were. All in all, a chaotic, funny and provocative edition of the programme that somehow held together despite the technical gremlins at the start.

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.

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-white dogtooth jackets, Frank Bellamy’s magnificent comic artwork, Heath Robinson, harmonicas, Motown, and the sort of English melancholy that seems to arrive with falling conkers and warm evenings at the tail end of summer.
The heart of the episode was a long and lively conversation with John Briggs, author of Alice and the Money Tree, Revisited, about debt-based money, usury, political power and the problem of how to explain financial fraud in plain English. We talked about history, propaganda, children’s stories, comics, Belloc, The Wizard of Oz, and the need to get foundational ideas across simply enough that ordinary people can grasp what sits underneath the whole system. In the final hour, Monica Schaefer joined us with grave news about her brother Alfred Schaefer, who has been sentenced in Germany to seven years in prison for speech. Monica spoke movingly about prisoners of war in the present age, the use of force when argument fails, and why the answer cannot be fear or silence but greater clarity, courage and resolve.

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 explored astrology as far more than star signs and used it as a springboard into something bigger: the long imbalance between ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ ways of living, the loss of the sacred, and the kind of civilisational values that have shaped power, hierarchy and control. We also wandered through Druids, Cathars, chivalry, community, and why so much of history seems to celebrate conquest while ignoring gentler, more collaborative societies.
In hour two, after a brief wrestle with the Internet, Dee Dee Hilliard joined me to talk about CABI — the Community Assembly of the British Isles — and the practical side of restoring community life, lawful self-governance, mutual support and local resilience. We touched on food, councils, trust, self-sufficiency and why real change may come from people quietly stepping back into responsibility together. Later, Dr Miles Fleetwood dropped in to discuss natural health, nutrition, acupuncture, depleted soils, Chinese medicine and the strange gap between modern scientific confidence and what our bodies actually need. All in all, one of those evenings where sheds, sovereignty, spirit and supplements somehow ended up sharing the same table.

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 politics. The main guest was David Adelman, better known as The People’s Lawyer, who joined me after a bout of technical gremlins and gave a fascinating account of how he moved from law into education, public speaking and rights-based work. We talked about his book School - No Place for Children, the failures of modern schooling, the Prussian roots of compliance culture, the misuse of language in legal settings, and why he believes people need to understand the roles and assumptions the system quietly persuades them to accept.
In the final stretch, Etta Volk joined us from Chicago for a transatlantic catch-up on the state of the media, political theatre, social pressure, migration and the mood among ordinary people in both the UK and the US. We also got into the collapse of public trust, generational shifts, and whether younger people may end up dismantling broken institutions simply by refusing to submit to them. Add in harmonicas, fruit crumble, a few scandalously British food references and the usual late-night mischief, and it turned into a lively, wide-ranging show with more than a few unexpected turns.

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 whether we ought to create our own irreverent publication in the spirit of the old trench papers. From there, I reflected on Hilaire Belloc, the decline in journalistic standards, and the way headlines and institutions now seem less interested in informing people than in steering them. Along the way we touched on the power of humour to tell the truth, the loss of self-reliance, and even found time for a passionate diversion into blackberry crumble, pizza dough, and a marvellous little 1950s-flavoured clip about time travel and modern neuroses.
In the second half, the conversation turned more directly to brainwashing, belief, propaganda and the mechanisms by which people are conditioned not to question what they are told. We talked about democracy, juries, law, hidden power, institutional decay, and several books and essays that have shaped these ideas for us, including works by Belloc, Jason Christoff, Tupper Saussy and others. Rudyard Kipling provided the soundtrack, with AI-rendered versions of The Stranger and Tommy prompting a discussion about nationhood, loyalty and cultural memory. In the final hour, Eli James joined us from America for a lively exchange on propaganda, social engineering, media narratives, education, mass persuasion and the wider spiritual and political malaise of the age.

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 turning points in modern gun control, before moving into the Bill of Rights, the right to bear arms, the role of Hansard, the Coronation Oath, Magna Carta, and the gradual transfer of power away from the people and into ministers, policy, and discretion. Mike’s central argument was stark: many of the rights people assume have vanished may in fact have been buried under layers of policy, legalese and institutional corruption rather than lawfully extinguished.
In the second part of the show, Monika joined us and widened the lens further. We talked about inversion in modern society, attacks on the family, the moral confusion aimed at children, and Canada’s conversion therapy law as an example of the upside-down age we’re living through. We also touched on beauty, culture, bells, architecture, joy, and the need to stay spiritually grounded while confronting systems that seem bent on destruction. If there was one thread running through the whole evening, it was this: we are living through profound illegitimacy, and the way out begins with remembering who we are, what was handed down to us, and what we must now recover.

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 early radio in 2008 through years of films and talk shows, and we talked about why so many people can feel that something is badly wrong while still struggling to break the habits that keep them tied to the system. Along the way we touched on free speech platforms, data harvesting, digital dependence, and the way modern life steadily trades human skill, memory and independence for convenience.
In the second half, the conversation widened further into myth, consciousness and self-mastery. Max was briefly joined by Ivana of REBEL Psychotherapy, who offered a thoughtful perspective on inner freedom, psychological sovereignty and the need for genuine shadow work if people are to stop reacting mechanically to the pressures placed upon them. We also found time for books, storytelling, Tolkien, A. A. Milne, Van Morrison, and the cultural loss that comes when imagination is replaced by screens. After Max headed off to see friends in Croatia, Eric Von Essex joined me for a spirited closing stretch that somehow ended with the glorious notion of a national day of shouting the government away.

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 the simple wisdom of keeping practical stores in the house. Robin Hood then joined me to preview the legal ground he planned to cover on his Friday show, including questions around courts, jurisdiction, policing, language and how ordinary people might begin to challenge systems they believe are being misrepresented to them.
In the second hour, after more conversation ranging from food, farming, culture and politics to books and old-fashioned common sense, Richard Cumbers joined me from Ireland. We talked about the Pain Genie, energy medicine, self-care, suppressed technologies, the limits of conventional medicine and the importance of understanding health through energy, frequency and personal responsibility. It made for one of those wide-ranging evenings where weather, law, food, history and healing all seemed to connect into the same bigger picture.
