While I was starting my radio career on XM Satellite Radio, another radio professional named Chris Goldstein was debuting what was then a brand new form of audio content — the podcast. Chris produced the NORML Daily Audio Stash, a daily marijuana news and affairs podcast for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
The NORML Daily Audio Stash was truly the pioneer in marijuana podcasting. While there have been a few local and syndicated radio shows to tackle the subject of marijuana in a thoughtful and professional manner, Chris’s show was the first to bridge the chasm between terrestrial radio and internet podcasting.
I used to be a Twitter power user (22K followers), but since Elon Musk turned it into a Nazi pub, I then migrated to Threads, until Mark Zuckerberg began throttling political speech and forced me off that, Facebook, and Instagram. Then TikTok went and kissed the Felon’s ring, so bye bye, there, too. You can find me primarily now on BlueSky, where I’m verified as @RadicalRuss.com. I’m also on Mastodon, kinda, and YouTube with our live stream and video archive.
