Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Kevin Patterson has been there, done that, in terms of traveling. So now that he’s tied down to a job and a mortgage, he’s recreating the experience without leaving his current Phoenix home.
Patterson recently debuted Stationary Hobo, a podcast series — featuring Rick Larsen and Patterson conducting travelogue interviews with globetrotting locals (mostly creative types, such as Lisa Takata) — that allows folks to spread their wings and “see the world without leaving Phoenix,” he says.
Patterson — who lived in Mexico City and Syria and also visited Colombia just for fun — has been busy working out the kinks that comes with podcast culture. But during a recent chat with New Times, he explains that it’s mostly figured out. As a result, expect episodes every two weeks or so.
The next one on the docket will showcase Meghan Jones, Matt Spastic, and Lesli Yazzie dishing about their adventures in a “Have you ever traveled for your art?” topic. Patterson swears the episode is a trip (pun intended), especially Yazzie’s chronicling of her time living and painting in a South Dakota silo during the winter.
