<p>Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: <a href="http://radiosoapbox.com" target="_blank">http://radiosoapbox.com</a></p><p>In this lively midweek edition of The Shelley Tasker Show, I’m joined by my ever-game co-host, Mr Mallificus Scott, and special guest Jo Wood for a freewheeling conversation that swings from time perception and fly lifespans to bamboo flood defences, gaming habits, and the practical magic of supermarket hacks. We dive into the hot topic of digital IDs, exploring public pushback, civil liberties concerns, and how everyday systems—from passports to telemetric car insurance—quietly shape compliance. We also reflect on cultural shifts, from postcard humour and Carry On films to the resonance of Bill Hicks’ comedy, before discussing the grassroots power of local community, independent media, and the Light newspaper. We touch on sobering developments: the review of Hunter S. Thompson’s death, headlines linking vaccines to increased cancer risk, and how fear shaped choices during the COVID era. Jo brings a powerful field report from the Trailer of Truth tour—farmers and veterans uniting across the UK to deliver public messages to the Labour Party conference—while we celebrate Cornwall’s annual Martin Jennings memorial run and the joy of a perfect wave before chilli with friends. Music, memories, and mischief included—plus a cracking five-person-one-guitar cover of Somebody That I Used to Know.</p>
