Patrick

Patrick and Nathaniel reunite after a short break, swap notes on studio upgrades and recent music discoveries, and then welcome photographer and storyteller Isaac Jones. Isaac shares how a personal loss shaped his love for portrait photography, why curiosity drives his creative life, and what it’s like starting over in Paris after 14 years in Nashville. They also talk about his MFA work exploring the tension between faith and sexuality, and how one simple rule of life might be to go on adventures.

Patrick and Nathaniel open with a chaotic cold open, then bring in Blake Farmer — Nashville native, host of NPR’s This Is Nashville, and longtime journalist. They swap stories about East Nashville, Blake growing up on Russell Street, and his early band days...including randomly blowing up in the Philippines. The convo moves into what radio hosting is really like vs. field reporting, plus what people often get wrong about Blake — he’s way less extroverted than he sounds. They get into adult friendships, music influences like Dawes, and close by talking about what makes a good life and why we all keep old t-shirts like they’re tiny time capsules.

Patrick and Nathaniel are back, bouncing between the joys and frustrations of social media, Patrick’s hot dog heavy trip to Paris, and a handful of random life musings. They also talk past jobs (mall kiosks forever), public transit ethics, the urge to hit puddles while driving, and share their Spotify Wrapped and favorite music discoveries from 2025.

In this episode, Patrick sits down with filmmaker Mason Martin to explore his creative journey, the heart behind his storytelling, and what it means to stay present in the process. They talk about the inspirations that fuel Mason’s work, hear some of his favorite quotes and albums, and even debate the best hot chicken spots in Nashville.

In this episode, Patrick sits down with Kim Toliver, Director of Marketing at Goodpasture Christian School, to talk about her winding journey from studying physical therapy to discovering her place in education and creativity. They also touch on the importance of friendship, the power of laughter, and what it really means to be present in life. Kim also shares her love for art, her deep appreciation for ’90s R&B, and her thoughtful (and fun) way of building and sustaining friendships. Enjoy, share, and leave a comment!
