About this listen

On today’s episode, Walker Jay Patterson talks about the merging and balancing of paths. He talks about his desire to share stories, the stigma of mental health in Southern men, the loss of two friends within a year, and his passion for the blues and history.


“Sitting there at 20 years old, giving a eulogy in front of all of my closest friends for one of my childhood friends was a really hard thing, but I was really glad I did it.”
