Patrick Ferguson is one of the most highly-praised drummers in the Athens, GA area (and quite possibly the southeastern United States) playing with the likes of Five Eight, R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, The Psychedelic Furs, Bill Mallonee of Vigilantes of Love, Vic Chesnutt and at least 100 bands more. Beyond music, he's created a community out of his musician-friendly podcast with a strong emphasis on mental health known as Crash & Ride.

He's a hell of a friend with a lifetime of wisdom and experiences he shares in my very first episode. I was lucky he did most of the talking, so I didn't have to ask the majority of my dumb questions.
