ABOUT
THE PODCAST
What the Hell Were You Thinking is a podcast where Host Dave Bledsoe invites you to explore your deep-seated grievances with life in the 21st century. Journey with us through infernal circles of absurdist politics, inexplicable pop culture, conspiracy theories, not-so-theoretical conspiracies, generational ouroboroi, Bigfoot erotica, Satanism, and evil clowns—all via rants based on some sincerely compelling (and surprisingly accurate!) history. No, there won’t be a quiz, but you’ll likely learn some new things you can be really pissed off about. So join your slightly-snockered host and a browbeaten, possibly imaginary producer, Gavin, while we ask the world a simple question: what the hell was it thinking this week?

Dave Bledsoe
Host, Executive Producer, Head Writer
Dave is the dulcet voice of the show, a problem drinker, and very bad boss.

Gavin St. James
Senior Producer, Whipping Boy
Producer Gavin is the long-suffering heart of the show, the humanity that redeems this soulless calamity from the depths of despair.

Fictional Minions
The Little People Who Make Things Happen
Everyone needs minions. These are ours.

Kimberly Steele
Exec Editor, Sr Producer, Script Conslt, Voice of Sanity
Kimberly is our hired gun when things go off the rails. This is her expression whenever we have to bring her in. This is the only photo she’ll let us use. It’s like 18 years old.
