Tales From the Idiocracy - 4.28.2025

In this week’s Episode of Tales From the Idiocracy, David Blackmon joins WACV 93.1 FM Radio legend Greg Budell and his sidekick Pamela DuBuque for a rapid-fire tour of the stubborn detritus of the American Idiocracy left behind by four years of a pretend POTUS.

As a double bonus, the show now appears in a new Youtube livestream format so that Pamela no longer appears as solely a disconnected voice off-screen. Now, you will be able to livestream the show every Monday and Thursday if you’d prefer. Or you can continue accessing it here the following morning. We love giving our audience options.

To watch future livestreams, just go to Youtube and search for “Happy Hour Podcast Greg Budell” and like and subscribe to bookmark it. “Tales from the Idiocracy” kicks off live at 3:15 CT on Mondays and 4:00 on Thursdays.

Tales from the Idiocracy begins at the 15-minute mark of the video below, and ends at the 2-hour mark, but you can enjoy another hour of Greg and Pamela after that.

- Major blackout strikes renewable-heavy grid in Spain/Portugal;
