For our Season 1 finale, Zach and Pat go big...dinosaur big. 🦖

First up in Real Estate Reel, we step through the towering doors of the Jurassic Park Visitor Center to uncover the real-life filming locations, wild behind-the-scenes facts, and what it would actually cost to build this cinematic icon today. From its resort-inspired architecture to its pop culture legacy, this fictional property has more real-world influence than you might think.

Then in this week’s Real Estate Horror Story, we follow an agent and their clients into a showing gone sideways, think hit-and-run suspect, armed officer, and a property that suddenly doesn’t feel so worth touring. It’s a true test of where the line is between “great cash flow potential” and “too much risk.”

We wrap Season 1 with laughs, questions only real estate die-hards would debate, and a promise: We’ll be back for Season 2.

In episode 23, Zach and Pat welcome a special guest: Alyssa McClanahan, historian, preservationist, and author, whose work brings buildings and the people behind them back into the spotlight. Alyssa’s nationally recognized storytelling-based preservation projects explore how architecture intersects with memory, justice, and identity.

Together, they unpack what historic preservation really means in today’s fast-changing real estate and urban development landscape. From adaptive reuse and sustainability to community-led preservation efforts, Alyssa shares powerful insights and real-life stories—like saving the Taft Theatre, Cincinnati Music Hall, and more.
