-Finding Pattersby is a hilarious, weirdo mystery about a disgraced ex-ghostwriter, who goes on the hunt for a famous missing thriller author from the 1990s. Also the ghostwriter is a liar.
This show blends surreal elements, strange vibes and dark comedy to explore the nexus of art and commerce through the underworld that is the suspense thriller industry.
-Original analog synth score by Erik Jourgensen of Sony’s “Tagged” and The Glow podcast.
Ryan and Erik have created an original textured universe here with its own vibes, humor and hypnotic storytelling. Folks have called it “a master class in suspense," "legitimately funny," and that “there is nothing else like it.”
Season 1 is happening right now so be sure to check it out on your favorite podcatcher.
They’re even doing a promotion right now where if you sign up for the newsletter at patterspod.com before Feb 10, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a free t-shirt with the showlogo.

The hotel has had to call in professional Basileers, Basilisk hunters. They do grim work, but there doesn't seem to be any other way to retrieve Latrice. Meanwhile, the hotel must contend with a mix-up with a binary guest who only speaks Assembly, two French and Arabic philosophers who can't argue existentialism quietly, and a series of dreams that seem to have shrunk in the laundry.

The hotel faces some difficulties when guests complain about a peckish statue out in the garden. Also there is a shortage of blood for the vampire clients, a supply chain breakdown of eggs, a discussion of the dietary nature of flies, and one guest who can't stay away from his exploding fruit. Just another day in the hospitality business for the odd and incorporeal.
