Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comWith guests Jeff Roberts and Etta Volk.Tonight I opened with a brisk autumn walk, a bit of radio nostalgia, and a deep dive into The Shadow — that wonderfully dramatic pulp hero who helped shape later characters like Batman. Eric and I wandered happily through old radio, Walter B. Gibson’s astonishing output, trench coats, vintage cars, Morgans, Bullitt, and the kind of design and storytelling that seemed to have a lot more style and character than much of what gets produced now.Jeff then joined me for a wide-ranging and lively conversation about publishing, ARMREG, historical memory, propaganda, media narratives, war remembrance, language, censorship, and the way power is exercised in modern public life. In the final hour, Etta Volk joined us from Chicago to compare notes on the political and cultural mood in America, from media theatre and institutional distrust to AI anxieties and the psychology of power. In between the darker themes, we still found time for wordplay, odd music, old songs, and the usual blend of seriousness and mischief.Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio: https://www.fftradio.com/WBN324 Talk Radio: https://linktr.ee/wbn324ARMREG (UK): https://armreg.co.uk/ARMREG (US): https://armreg.us/Holocaust Encyclopedia: https://armreg.us/Judaism – A Genocidal Cult: https://armreg.us/The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: https://armreg.us/product/the-hoax-of-the-twentieth-century-deluxe/Republic Broadcasting Network – Critical Review with Etta Volk: https://republicbroadcasting.org/critical-review-with-etta-volk/The Shadow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ShadowWalter B.
