The RadicalRuss Show

Veteran marijuana activist and podcaster "Radical" Russ Belville records this politics and culture podcast every Monday morning from RoLLaJaY Studios in his undisclosed mountain hideaway in the beautiful State of Jefferson region of Southern Oregon. Russ focuses his unique "Red State Refugee" perspective — born and raised in conservative Idaho, lived and worked in progressive Oregon — on the current topics of sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, politics, religion, and sports, as well as a deep dive into a topical issue in his signature Radical Rant. Russ drills down from national federal level to state issues, then to regional western events, ending with a focus on local Oregon news and, every week, a new reason to boycott his birth state of Idaho. Follow along each week on social media @RadicalRuss.com on Bluesky.
