Host Paul ushers in a wintry Thursday, 22 January 2026, with a wry look at the gloom-and-boom of the new year, joined first by Eric Von Essex and later by Frederick “Blackbird9” Blackburn and Nathan. We roam from mood, diet, tea and rooibos to nostalgia for pirate radio, tennis commentary and Japan, before digging into propaganda, WWII myths, and how media narratives shape public emotion. The conversation then turns to fourth‑generation warfare, campus ideologies in Appalachia, ICE protests, the World Economic Forum, and creeping speech controls—set against reminders to build local resilience. Hour two and three lean practical: decentralising from captured institutions, rekindling village life, and rebuilding food networks; reading more and doomscrolling less; choosing creation over commentary. We close with an invite to keep the chat going and to watch for the quiet launch of Food for Thought Radio via PaulEnglishLive.com, while keeping spirits up, feet on the ground, and eyes on what we can actually build next.
