Cannabis Talk 101
A mixed-format cannabis media brand covering news, legal issues, and culture through both serious analysis and freewheeling celebrity interviews.
This is a hybrid cannabis media outlet, not just a podcast. It shifts tones dramatically, from a sober news program analyzing federal raids with legal advisors to a chaotic, celebratory group interview with actors and event promoters in a Las Vegas studio. The brand produces long-form audio episodes, short-form social video clips, and engages in live event coverage.
“Its stylistic range is the most distinctive feature. The show's ability to swing from a focused, almost journalistic report to a freewheeling, morning-show-style group chat makes it unique, covering both the policy and party aspects of the cannabis world.”
Who hosts this show
Cannabis Talk 101 is hosted by Christopher "Blue" Wright, the platform's founder, and Joe Grande, a veteran radio personality. Wright's involvement is personal, inspired by his father's illness, and he founded the show in 2015 to educate and advocate for cannabis. Grande brings extensive radio experience from shows like "Big Boy's Neighborhood" on Power 106 and "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" on KIIS FM. The show, which partners with iHeartRadio, aims to be the "ESPN, CNN, FOX NEWS and The View of Cannabis," breaking stereotypes by discussing benefits and legal complexities.

What you'll be asked on this show
The interview style is highly situational. In serious news segments, hosts provide context, ask a direct opening question to an expert, and use follow-ups to simplify complex legal points for the audience. In the more common group-hang format, host Joe Grande acts as a ringmaster, delivering long, laudatory introductions, encouraging personal anecdotes, and letting conversations flow chaotically with multiple guests talking at once. This mode relies on the shared history and camaraderie of the guests, often featuring playful insults and inside jokes.
The format varies widely by episode. Some are structured news segments featuring a single expert guest for a focused discussion. Others are long, informal group conversations hosted by Joe Grande, characterized by high-energy introductions, frequent cross-talk, and inside jokes. The brand also produces man-on-the-street style interviews from live events for promotional content.
