Ridley Corbeau is an author, podcaster, media personality, and accused eco-terrorist (acquitted). After starting the podcast "Walk Away" with partner Seth Graham in 2015, the duo became perennial People's Choice Podcast Award nominees, snagging their first win in 2017 and following it up with wins for sister podcasts "Adventures in Counterculture" in 2018 and "Antichorus" in 2020. Corbeau has also authored several books, including "Somewhat Less Likely" (winner of the Rasmussen Award for Collected Essays), "Birds of a Feather", and "Protagonists vs. Heroes". He is known for his outlandish antics at conventions and debates, including striking Travis Gould with a microphone, setting fire to Ben Shapiro's merch table, and throwing a twelve-hour party on the roof of the St. Louis Hilton during which he performed eight marriages. He was also accused of inciting the bombing of the Sachatawnee River Dam in 2018, having recently done an episode of "Adventures in Counterculture" where he explained how much simpler dams were to destroy than to build, but was acquitted of any wrongdoing in the incident.
Ridley is also a Corax, an utter weirdo, and an incorrigible chain smoker. But you probably already knew that.

Everyone's Business: There's no such thing as "none of your business" for Gaia's busybodies. I'll find a way to stick my nose in somehow.
Birds of a Feather: Are you also a Corax? There are a few of us out there. Let's go sit on a telephone wire and shoot the breeze!
Gaia's Good Gathering: If you're one of Gaia's then you're one of mine. That's my job, anyhow. I can't really shirk it, and you can't make me.
Radio, Radio: I have not one but two popular podcasts, and you may listen to them! Hell, maybe you want to be on one!
Dead Paper Media: I wrote some books, too. It's possible you've read them.
I Fought the Law: It's also possible you know me for being a rabble-rouser and anarcho-primitivist. Folks on either side of that issue tend to recognize me.
