Episode 16 – Toby’s Secret Language

Patrick sits down with Huntington’s very own Toby Poole to discuss his cult web series “Lords Of Fun” Patrick tries to crack the language of this perverse and often baffling show. Toby and Patrick discuss everything in this episode from dubious art exhibits to White Jesus to the Moomins, to John McCain to “Golden Showers.” Its a strange one folks. Plus, Patrick extolls the virtues of Instagram

Patrick welcomes newly mented Jean Valjean “Ryan Hardiman” to the podcast. Ryan is as close as our state has to a rockstar, with credits ranging from crowdpleasing performances in “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Symphony Idol” to smaller more enigmatic theatrical pieces such as “The Pillowman.” Patrick discusses Ryan’s method, madness, and memories of nearly two decades of community theater (with occasional interjections from Ryan.) Plus, Ryan reveals the one production he most regrets, and Patrick extols the virtues of a good pair of pants.

Thatconversation-Episode14-Hellopenny

And we’re back! Out of hibernation, That Conversation starts out season 3 with a crash course in gender studies and horror films with burlesque dancer and actor Penny Maple. Penny explains burlesque with a wink and a smile. She talks about being a woman who loves a woman and why she identifies herself as a lesbian despite her admitted bisexual tendencies. Also, we go hardcore into the gender dynamics of modern horror cinema with a special focus on the work of local auteur Eamon Hardiman.

And we’re back! Out of hibernation, That Conversation starts out season 2 with one of its favorite season 1 guests, David Smith. Patrick and David talk about his new film Ladybeard which screens at the Keith Albee Theater Friday April 12 as part of the Appalachian Film Festival. Inevitably, the conversation gets hijacked by a surprisingly heated conversation about Dick Van Dyke. Plus, Patrick features the winner of his annual Academy Awards Oscar Pool. Music by Kevin McCleod.

Season 12 ends with a bang. Patrick talks with actor Mike Murdock about ARTS, the Arts Resources for the Tri-State, and their production of Cabaret. Plus we get into discussions of the nature of theater criticism, the play that changed his life, and the awesomeness that is Athens, OH. This is the last episode of season 1 and thus ends with a bang.

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.
