Unvarnished Remembrance Radio with Eric von Essex
Episode 113
Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com
In this Remembrance Day special, we slow down for two minutes of birdsong at 11:00 and reflect on war beyond the Hollywood versions: the trauma borne by veterans and families, the propaganda that sells conflict, and the way official narratives shape memory. From Hastings to Malta and the Burma Railway, from the East India Company to modern psy‑ops and media “nudges,” we question who benefits, who pays, and why uncomfortable records are still sealed. It’s an unhurried, breakfast‑time ramble: tea versus coffee, early starts, listeners checking in on Rumble and YouTube. Along the way we touch on Alec Penstone’s stark TV moment, the ethics of remembrance, the psychology of crowds and “leadership,” and how communities might quietly build resilience—being more like water—amid fifth‑generation warfare and information manipulation.
