Steve Patterson

Broadcast Date June 19, 2019

Man was it enjoyable catching up to today’s guest – award-winning comedian, author and hilarious host Steve Patterson was in Halifax, Nova Scotia last week – taping this year’s edition SHORT FILM FACE OFF – busy times to be sure of it – with multiple episodes and a grand finale being filmed in a compressed few days – well, it meant our hour-long catch up with the series host got compressed as well but we’ll do our best to cover the bases including his radio show THE DEBATERS and his great “The Book of Letters I Didn’t Know Where to Send”, plus we’ll talk family, and destiny, play an informative 1st things First and get to a frenetic round INsights IN 10 just before the producers called him back to work. The only bright side to having less time to talk with Steve Patterson was the extra time we have to celebrate his stand-up – so before our conversation – here with his story of the “Nova Scotian Summer” is the one and only Steve Patterson.
