Slackerbilly Productions was founded in 2024 by DeKalb County, TN, native and resident, Tom Duggin, who has spent 30-plus years working in several small-town media outlets.
Slackerbilly has been an ever-evolving idea, designed to host and help promote mostly locally produced podcasts as well as offer space for bloggers from all walks of life. With a background in music, announcing, voiceover work, and as a DJ for numerous events over the years, Duggin also wants to offer a centralized hub for those who offer those same services to help promote themselves, as well as give visitors to the site a one-stop shop for finding available talent for their events and other needs.
So, what is a Slackerbilly? For years, Duggin searched for the perfect name for his dream, while somewhat describing who he is. Having been fortunate to find employment in radio, TV, and as a newspaper editor/publisher - despite not having a college degree - Duggin has long proclaimed himself a "slacker," fortunate to land jobs in media fields that he loved but are not demanding in a physical sense. Add to that his upbringing in a small, rural Tennessee town, where the term "hillbilly" has long been used (mostly by outsiders who don't understand how really awesome we are in TN!). So, merge a "slacker" with a "hillbilly" and you have "Slackerbilly!" Ok, it might be a tad bit corny, but we love it!
