About this listen

We are kick-starting the season with an exciting two-part episode: Podcast host Matthew McRae tells the stranger-than-fiction tale of Walter Patterson, Prince Edward Island's first Governor. Laugh and learn co-host Evelyn Bradley as well as guest comedian Shawn Hogan.

Did you know that privateers kidnapped our government? Or that Patterson gave an island off the coast of the island to his girlfriend? Or that he invented the “fresh cookies” scent for homes? Okay, maybe that last one isn’t true, but still.

Patterson's legacies of leadership, shady real-estate practices and questionable decision-making culminate into a story that is as humourous as it is outrageous – enjoy parts 1 and 2 of the ballad of Wally P!
