Paul English Live 050726,,- Airwaves and Other Worlds: Pirate Radio Roots, Avebury Gates, and Today’s Media Maze

A lively night kicks off with some spectacular gremlins as I wrestle with streaming setups and settle back into our usual rig—then we get properly rolling. In hour one, Eric Von Essex joins me to commiserate over tech mishaps, share tales from the home front, and riff on everything from eclipses and the moon’s mysteries to scheduling experiments for the show and the growing FFT Radio lineup. Hour two features broadcaster and researcher Miles Johnston, who traces his path from Ireland’s pirate‑radio heyday to signal engineering, Sky’s early years, and his current investigations into high‑strangeness—interdimensional physics, ancient sites like Avebury, and why the public story of technology (and history) may be upside‑down. In hour three, Eli James weighs in on media power, NGOs, institutional religion, phones and attention, food systems and fertilizers, and how geopolitics and economics are shaping the year ahead. It’s equal parts radio history, tech shop‑talk, and big‑picture speculation—warts, wonders, and all.'StreamYard': https://streamyard.com'OBS Studio': https://obsproject.com'FFT Radio (Food For Thought Radio)': https://fftradio.com'Weekend Truth Festival': https://weekendtruthfestival.co.uk'Community Assembly of the British Isles': https://cabritishisles.com'EcoGreen Compost': https://ecogreencompost.co.uk'Sounds Beautiful (festival)': https://soundsbeautiful.uk'Radio Caroline (official site)': https://radiocaroline.co.uk'Q107 (Toronto)': https://q107.com'CHUM 104.5 (Toronto)': https://www.iheartradio.ca/chum'University of Toronto': https://www.utoronto.ca'Orban Optimod': https://www.orban.com'Avebury Stone Circle (English Heritage)': https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/avebury/'Pitcairn Islands Government': https://www.pitcairn.pn'Royal Museums Greenwich – Mutiny on the Bounty': https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/mutiny-bounty'Rumble': https://rumble.com'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com
