Thank you for joining me for episode 1 of Wonderful People!  

My name is Joseph Butler and today I'll be airing an interview with a local artist who goes by the name of Patches Flows. I met Patches a while back at a local flea market and over the past year or two I've come across his name one place or another and found him to be a really interesting guy.  

I figured there's no better way to kick off this show than by airing a conversation with someone who has such a diverse background and passion for creating the life he envisions for himself. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

A few things to note about this initial podcast:

• No pens were hurt during the making of this podcast.
• I have never hated hearing my voice as much as I did editing this podcast. I speak slowly at times and use words over and over again. Bare with me, I'm just getting the hang of it.
• That said, you'll catch me fumbling around concepts and questions at times because I was a little nervous. Feel free to skip past my sections but I encourage you to listen to Patches' sections. He is such an interesting and concise thinking guy, it really was a delight to hear his thoughts and stories.
• At one point toward the end we discuss a famous beatboxer, who I mistakenly refer to as "Raekwon". Yes, I know that's not his name. What I meant to say was "Rahzel" from The Roots. If you haven't heard the clip of him beatboxing (Are you kidding me? You've NEVER heard it!?)
