PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #130 · Bikes, Beato and the Birth Certificate: Decentralise Everything

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comA lively, free‑wheeling late‑start show that meanders from UFOs and British TV nostalgia to oil myths, bikes, and the soul of sport, before landing on AI’s future and how decentralisation could put real power back in local hands. I share why Rick Beato’s video on open‑source, on‑device AI lit a fire under me, how home‑run models might mirror the way music left big studios, and why community tools, local trade, and even analogue crafts could thrive again. Along the way we riff on nicotine lozenges vs. brain fog, the strange comfort of cycling pain, the danger and glory of the Isle of Man TT, and the need to rebuild family, food, and finance from the ground up — including thorny topics like inheritance and birth certificates, and the launch plans for Food For Thought Radio. It’s a mate‑in‑the‑pub kind of episode: laughs, tangents, a couple of tunes, and a serious undercurrent — how to live better, more locally and independently, while the official world grows ever more daft.
