Hash Church is a weekly live show about hash and cannabis, hosted by BC Bubbleman, Marcus Richardson. It started on September 28, 2014, streams live on YouTube every Sunday at 9 AM Pacific with a panel of guests, and goes out as a podcast. The podcast feed alone holds 170 episodes.
What is Hash Church?
Hash Church is a live show about hash, and more than a show. Every Sunday morning Bubbleman opens a video call with a panel of hash makers, growers, breeders and scientists, takes questions from the chat, and talks hash for three or four hours. An early episode description put it best: another congregation of hashishin.
Hash Church history
Hash Church history starts on September 28, 2014, with the first live Sunday. By the sixth episode that November, the panel included Skunkman Sam, Etienne Fontan, Tony Verzura, the chemist Mark Scialdone and D420K. The show went through versions, Hash Church 2.0 and 3.0 among them, and its podcast feed began in August 2019. In early 2020 Bubbleman’s YouTube channel was hacked and the old videos came down; the first show back, in March 2020, thanked YouTube for returning the channel. Season 12 is the 2026 run, and every show has now been transcribed so the archive can be searched.
The Hash Church panel
The Hash Church panel changes every week, but some voices keep coming back: hash makers, growers, breeders and scientists from the early years, and new guests every season, from TJ of The Original Resinator to Jorge Cervantes. Skunkman Sam, Bubbleman’s mentor, shaped the show until he passed on, and Bubbleman still credits him as the inspiration. Five of them sit with Bubbleman most weeks; meet them on the Hash Church co-hosts page. In the chat, Bingo Lombardi holds the room down every Sunday.
From the archive: Bubbleman on Skunkman Sam
From the archive, Bubbleman on Skunkman Sam in his own words, recorded live on Season 12, Episode 13, The Kootenay Episode. Tap a time to hear that moment.
Thank you, Skunkman Sam, for being the inspiration, still to this day, every day, for inspiring me and so many others. Hash Church wouldn’t be what it was. Most of what I’m excited about is a lot of what Skunkman Sam said over the years in Hash Church.
On the show’s inspiration
Why it’s called Hash Church
Why it’s called Hash Church is half joke, half truth. It meets every Sunday morning, it has a congregation, and, as the show’s own introduction puts it, Hash Church is about ritual, respect for the plant and elevating the experience. It is not a religious show, though it has turned up on church podcast charts.
