Paul English Live 060426,,-Weather, Wheels and Why We Gather: With Kizzy (Karen Dodd)

A lively, very human three hours from the cockpit — complete with an opening skirmish with the studio gremlins — before we settled into a wide‑ranging conversation about policing culture, community self‑reliance and keeping our cool when the news cycle tries to bait us. In hour one I compared notes with Eric Von Essex (weather, wheels and why simple kit beats over‑complication), then we touched the Henry Novak case, historical perspective like the 1985 Battle of the Beanfield, and the way language and training shape modern policing. Hour two welcomed Kizzy (Karen Dodd), who traced her path from founding local Freedom Network hubs and the Uprise & Shine gatherings to her new Shine & Rise mini‑festival this July at the Green Door Centre near Chichester. We talked practical culture‑building, lessons from group dynamics, and using music, radio and meet‑ups to raise frequency instead of just raging. Along the way we swapped studio tips (StreamYard/Restream, RØDECaster) and spun listener‑offered tunes — including Ocean Views’ “Granny’s Crazy Conspiracy Theory” — while pointing listeners to FFT Radio for future live shows and chats.'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com/'Food For Thought Radio' (station): https://fftradio.com/'Shine & Rise' (Eventbrite, July 4–5, Green Door Centre, Bosham): https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shine-and-rise-tickets-1982968088934'Green Door Centre' (venue overview): https://www.thegreatsussexway.org/listing/green-door-centre/249557101/'Ocean Views – Albion EP' (includes “Granny’s Crazy Conspiracy Theory”): https://music.amazon.com/albums/B0F1LZ6LC1'Battle of the Beanfield' (background): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beanfield'Shomrim London North & East' (community patrol reference mentioned): https://londonshomrim.com/'The Delingpod – James Delingpole' (podcast/site referenced): https://www.jamesdelingpole.co.uk/'Mark Devlin – official site' (music/culture guest reference): https://www.markdevlin.co.uk/'My Dinner with André' (film referenced): https://www.criterion.com/films/1093-my-dinner-with-andre'StreamYard' (live studio used/discussed): https://streamyard.com/'Restream' (multistreaming tool discussed): https://restream.io/'RØDECaster Pro' (studio hardware mentioned): https://rode.com/en-us/products/rodecaster-pro'A Stand in the Park' (grass‑roots meet‑ups referenced): https://www.astandinthepark.org/'Patriotic Alternative – About' (context for a mention): https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/about'Talk (TalkTV/TalkRadio) schedule' (Mike Graham context): https://talk.tv/radio/schedule'The Light Paper' (referenced alternative newspaper): https://www.thelightpaper.co.uk/
