by Wilderness Station Studios
A weird fiction mystery about a disgraced ghostwriter who uses the public investigation of a legendary, missing thriller author to work through some stuff. Also the ghostwriter is a liar. Follow host Ryan Cervantes in this 10ish-part comic thriller set in the world of high stakes thriller publishing, as he enters a land of cultish fandoms and cut-throat literati; of secret societies with ancient coffee beans and occult writing exercises that pierce the veil and top the charts of novels sold in supermarkets and airport bookstores…OR DO THEY? That’s what host Cervantes aims to find out in this pot-boiler for the ears. But if he hopes to escape the same fate as his missing boss in this IRL thriller, he’ll have to draw on everything he knows about how to survive a very deadly bestseller.

I'm intrigued by the mystery, but what I really love about Finding Pattersby is the deviously witty writing. I’m only a few episodes in and this series has already become a ‘top-of-the-queue’ ‘listen-as-soon-as-it-drops’ show for me. The story is accompanied by an excellent synth-driven soundtrack and brought to life by a fantastic cast. Every so often you’ll come across a piece of art that vibrates the same way as you. For me, Finding Pattersby is that art. Our world needs more weird comedies like this one. A strikingly potent debut from a first-time Audio Fiction creator, I can’t wait to hear where this story is headed.
I’ve been looking forward to this show for some time, and by golly, it did not disappoint. You want wit, incredible sound design, uproarious humor, and enjoyable characters? Look no further. It’s all right here
I’m a big fan of audio drama. This is an entertaining podcast filled with humor that is sort of off the wall. The music works really well, and they make good use of pacing. If you’re into that kind of thing, check it out!
