What Our Listeners Say
I moved from Arizona to Raleigh about two years ago with my entire family off of a singular feeling & total leap of faith. Patrick’s show embodies why I came to Raleigh and gives me consistent advice and perspective on how to improve and grow within the community. 10/10 recommend.

This is Real This is Raleigh has become a constant in my life because of how real the show really stays. There’s no faking the funk or lying for sponsorship dollars. It’s all about the authenticity of Raleigh and that is why I tune in & will continue to be a fan of the show for years to come. Take a listen and see for yourself

I came across the show through my job and thought that it was going to be another market research that I dreaded to complete every week. Instead, it turned into a learning session for me as I explored the available episodes and got to know each of the participants in a new and unique way.
