The Pat Chat | October 10th, 2025 | DSC Podcast

In this spooky October episode of The Pat Chat, Pat takes center stage as the crew looks back on her journey from hesitant guest to enthusiastic voice behind the mic. She shares how she first dipped her toe into podcasting, the joy she’s found in connecting with others through conversation, and the humor that naturally comes when she “lets loose” on air. Listeners get a glimpse of Pat’s perspective on community life, the fun energy she brings to each recording, and why her presence has become such a favorite part of the show. Joining the table is Joanie Brecka of the Seward County Chamber of Commerce, host of the Talk Seward County podcast. Together, the group reflects on the shared effort of building a podcast, the challenges of growing an audience, and the ways local voices can spark bigger conversations. Stay a while and chat with Pat, as her humor, heart, and community spirit make her shine.
