In this wide-ranging episode, we begin with a lively riff on language and comedy (from Stanley Unwin’s “Unwinese” to Ronnie Barker’s wordplay), then wander into catapults, simple self‑defence, fires and log burners, and the beauty of Victorian engineering. We contrast creativity with bureaucracy through the lives of Sir Frank Whittle, Sir Stanley Hooker, and the Harrier jump jet, before leaping to Marlborough’s logistics at Blenheim and today’s need for practical community resilience. I also recount an hour-long seaside conversation with two Jehovah’s Witnesses that sparks a bigger discussion about covenants, translation, and why “testament” frames Scripture as a contract. In hours two and three, guest Eli James joins to examine faith, law, and language: the difference between being “born again” and “born from above,” the role of concordances, and the comfort and power of Psalm 27. We explore discernment, demoralisation by modern institutions, the nature of psychopathy, and why cultivating chivalry, craftsmanship, and clear speech matters. Along the way we touch on Patrick Moore, Joerg Sprave’s Slingshot Channel, Shroud of Turin research, and a couple of boogie‑woogie cuts—before closing with a call to think and live like practical engineers of the good in our own communities.
