With the shocking coronation of the adjudicated rapist / convicted felon / indicted traitor / twice-impeached insurrectionist / incestuous lecher King Trump I in November 2024, I have been rousted from my retirement with the need to defend my loved ones and the country I swore an oath to protect. My new podcast is my first non-marijuana, politics-focused production since The Russ Belville Show on XM Satellite Radio.
It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride trying to return to podcasting. At first, I thought I’d be doing a live in-studio show broadcast direct to YouTube. When that fell through, I committed to weekday mornings. When that proved too arduous, I settled in on Monday mornings.
Also, I am now a retired “hobbyist” podcaster. I’m not going out of my way to self-promote. I’m not actively seeking advertisers. I don’t plan on doing much travel. My show now is basically a review of the things that caught my interest over the week on my social media feed at Bluesky. Each week, I’ll be finding a new reason to #BoycottIdaho, I’ll bring you the latest political and cultural happenings from Southern Oregon, and I’ll lament the rapid decline of our constitutional democracy while finding new ways to fight for our freedom.
