When NORML’s Chris Goldstein retired from the NORML Daily Audio Stash podcast, the organization needed someone with a background in radio who was familiar with the issues surrounding marijuana law reform. Someone also familiar with the computer technology and podcast engineering skills. I was still hosting my weekly show on XM Satellite Radio and was rising in the ranks of Oregon NORML to second-in-command. After some face-to-face meetings with the national crew at a NORML National Conference in 2007, the stage was set for me to take the reins of the world’s greatest marijuana podcast — on my 40th birthday, to boot!
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.
