Paul English Live 092525 Ostriches, IDs, and the Invisible Hand: Autumn’s First Paul English Live

Autumn begins with episode 106 and we kick off in classic live-radio fashion: a beautiful, nippy day, a few Rumble gremlins, and plenty of laughs before diving deep. In hour one, we question the week’s political theatrics (from escalators and teleprompters to rumors of UK digital IDs), why mainstream news rarely clarifies anything, and a provocative thread about “money vs. currency,” standing, and the shadow architecture behind 2008. We also share new call‑in numbers, swap party-and-bonfire stories, and spin some blistering guitar—hat tip to Joscho Stephan—while musing on culture from classic TV depictions of Rome to why so much modern entertainment feels like weaponized myth-making. Hour two brings Monica Schaefer with a detailed on-the-ground update from Canada’s high-profile ostrich-farm standoff: testing, agency overreach, hazmat theater, fire scares, arrests, and the sudden “stay” under an Indigenous band’s protection—raising larger questions about land transfers, policy, and psyops. From there we widen the lens to farming, climate mandates, energy sanity, and how language and law (standing, jurisdiction) get used to herd the public. We end with music and film talk (Focus, Jan Akkerman, Django), a bit of British satire, and notes on the weekend lineup.
