Episode 15: Little Miss Stoneybrook and Jesus
Patrick welcomes newly mented Jean Valjean “Ryan Hardiman” to the podcast.

Plus, Ryan reveals the one production he most regrets, and Patrick extols the virtues of a good pair of pants.

Podcaster points mic at local arts scene – News – The Charleston Gazette – West Virginia News and Sports –
Hello Sisters and Brothers. For those of you who weren’t aware, the Gazette had a huge fancy pants article on the front page about me today. I’m convinced this only happened because they thought I was a puppy. Awwww… look at the puppy.
Anyway, for those of you who are here because of the article, welcome, I hope you enjoy this podcast. For those of you who have been here all along, thanks.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Patrick Felton is being interviewed by his hometown paper — that would be this one — at Moxxee Coffee, while Felton’s own interview subject cools his heels a few feet away.
Felton, creator of the Charleston Podcast Project, is my subject for this story on his local arts podcast, “That Conversation.”
But his interview subject for the podcast’s next episode — local artist, photographer and Charleston franchise rep for Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School drawing sessions — embodies why Felton is being interviewed in the first place.
“Chase Henderson is an interview one of my listeners has been requesting for a long time,” said Felton, sporting headphones connected to a Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer hooked to a couple of cardioid microphones.
“Chase is doing really interesting, cutting-edge stuff in the community with Dr. Sketchy’s, which has become sort of a weird surprise cult hit among the artists in the community. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the scantily clad women and men that are a part of it. But he’s an incredibly talented visual artist who I’ve known peripherally a long time,” Felton says.
