  • Cancer episode and more

    While Paddy’s podcast is always informative, I want to say, having just been diagnosed with breast cancer, the cancer episode was especially timely and supportive. Best take away quote, “Mychart is now my new social media.” Recommend this podcast and episode.

  • Residency, Residency, Residency

    Mostly what this seems to be about. The directness and honesty are good, but if residencies are not your jam it gets tiresome. A broader scope would be helpful.

  • Paddy is the fixer for Art Problems

    Even after years as an artist in the NY art world and now in Austin, I thought I knew how to navigate this messy business. But Paddy has insight I didn't even know I was missing, with clear, practical advice for taking a step-by-step problem solving approach. Seriously, it's uplifting to listen to these. Not like homework or someone telling you to do the stuff you intentionally procrastinate.
