Let’s Chat! Some truths are hard to say out loud, but they matter if you care about the work and the people who support it. Today I’m candid about burnout, creative integrity, and the choice to pause before the quality slips any further. After a year that crossed 200 episodes and a run of intense, dark story arcs, the signs were clear: the craft needs recovery time.

Let’s Chat! Rain doesn’t rage here—it remembers. We open DRAC with a cold open that threads a storm-soaked childhood to a glass-walled lab where blood refuses to obey. Dante Roman Orellan Creed carries a mark from a dream he can’t explain and a gift he never asked for. As numbers start repeating and grief reshapes his days, the line between creator and creation blurs: self‑resurrection models mirror old sigils, machines hum like a second heartbeat, and light begins to bow instead of blind. W...
Let’s Chat! The lights hum a half-beat late, the city moves at the wrong speed, and the mirror smiles before you do. Episode 8 of the Patience of Predator series pulls you into a slow, surgical horror where perfection doesn’t chase—it waits. Aston walks into an apartment that remembers his scent but not his claim, a skyline that looks right but stalls like a photograph, and a stereo that sings memories out of time. Each small glitch—delayed reflections, warped songs, clocks that reverse—tight...
Let’s Chat! A single pill promises rest—and opens a door. We follow Aston Keller, a high-performing attorney whose sleepless nights turn his glass-and-marble life into a mirror maze where reflections stop mirroring and start studying. A voicemail bleeds into Natalie Cole, a boardroom melts into versions of his own face, and a wall of Polaroids tightens its red thread into a body that learns to breathe with his lungs. The question isn’t whether he’ll sleep—it’s who will wake up in his place. ...
Let’s Chat! Doors left barely open. A lobby that knows your name suddenly forgets you. And somewhere between brass and marble, a reflection smiles before you do. This chapter of The Patience of Predators slips from paranoia into possession as a copy steps out of the shadows and begins to breathe. We follow Aston Keller through a night where the building speaks in his voice and a day where his firm turns his handwriting into a verdict. Janine reads the room with surgical precision and claims ...
Let’s Chat! The night doesn’t stalk Aston with footsteps—it grins back from the glass. A rain-soaked walk home becomes a hall of mirrors where reflections move first, a colleague recites his thoughts before he can speak, and a phone call returns his own words in a lover’s voice. We take you inside a city that copies, a firm that rewards repetition, and an apartment where photographs rearrange themselves into a circle of doubles, each one a sharper, hungrier draft of the original. We unravel ...
Let’s Chat! What if your life was being tallied without your knowledge? What if someone—or something—was keeping track of every mistake, every debt, every moment of weakness? Aston's nightmare begins with a simple discovery: twelve Polaroid photographs arranged on his kitchen counter in the middle of the night. Not scattered randomly, but positioned with deliberate precision like entries in a ledger. Each bears a mysterious red mark in the corner, like debts being counted. One mark, two mark...
Let’s Chat! What happens when the evidence of your life no longer matches your memory? When photographs appear showing you in places you've never been? When your reflection moves differently than you do? "The Polaroids" plunges us into the fractured reality of Ashton Cross, a successful Manhattan attorney whose carefully constructed world begins to shatter after discovering mysterious Polaroid photographs of himself—images capturing moments he never lived, showing him in places he never visi...
Let’s Chat! What power can four simple words hold over a life meticulously constructed? In this gripping installment of The Patience of Predators series, we witness the unraveling of Aston Cross—Manhattan's golden attorney whose perfect existence begins to fracture after finding a mysterious note on his windshield reading: "I see you, brother." The narrative pulls us through Aston's increasingly disturbed psyche as he grapples with a truth he can't understand. His reflection no longer moves ...
Let’s Chat! The chandeliers glow like molten gold as Manhattan's elite raise their glasses to Aston Cross – the law firm's golden boy, the heir apparent, a man who seems to have mastered perfection itself. But as applause thunders through the ballroom, something unexpected happens: through the walls bleeds the jagged opening riff of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," a sound that doesn't celebrate Aston but mocks him. Thus begins "The Patience of Predators," a chilling exploration of what ...
Let’s Chat! The creative journey behind "Death of Peace of Mind" has been nothing short of extraordinary. What began as an experiment in gritty, 80s-inspired storytelling evolved into our most explosive series yet, with a community response that's left me genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude. Pulling back the curtain today, I'm revealing how dramatically the series changed during development. My original plan to kill Black at the Greenbrier house transformed when I realized a more powerful e...
Let’s Chat! A rotary phone rings in a frozen forest. A spiral pulses red against cement. A mirror fractures, showing not one reflection but dozens—none matching the face of the man who stands before it. In this landmark tenth episode of the Gentleman's Journey podcast, we descend into the heart of the Greenbrier mystery where Detective Walter Grayson and his partner Laura Black confront the ultimate truth about the case that has consumed them. Within an abandoned cabin at the edge of a Chica...
Let’s Chat! What happens when the detective realizes he's been chasing himself all along? In our penultimate episode of Death of Peace of Mind, Detective Walter Grayson faces his most disturbing revelation yet—an envelope addressed to himself, written in his own hand, containing a confession he doesn't remember writing. The cold Chicago winter forms the perfect backdrop as Grayson and Black descend into the precinct archives, where forgotten cases lie buried under decades of dust. What they ...
Let’s Chat! The deepest truths aren't spoken—they're carved into riddles we leave for ourselves to find. Detective Walter Grayson has been chasing the mysterious Greenbrier through a labyrinth of riddles, but tonight, the pursuit takes a devastating turn. Under an ancient oak tree at Brockwell Asylum, he unearths a box containing items that shouldn't exist: his hospital bracelet from 1974, a knife bearing his initials, and Polaroids showing impossible scenes from a past he doesn't remember l...
Let’s Chat! What if the memories you trust most are the ones you've edited beyond recognition? Detective Grayson's world unravels when he discovers evidence of actions he has no recollection of performing—a tape recording in his voice, photographs placing him at scenes he never visited, and reflections that move independently of him. As he investigates this mystery with his partner Black, he confronts a terrifying possibility: perhaps he isn't just the detective in this case, but also its su...
Let’s Chat! What if your silence isn't the absence of sound, but a debt quietly collecting interest? In "The One Who Spoke Too Late," we journey through a supernatural detective story that cuts straight to the heart of what it means to leave important words unsaid. Detectives Walter Grayson and Laura Black investigate mysterious recordings that seem to capture voices from beyond – or perhaps from within their own buried regrets. As they delve deeper, they encounter an entity called "Clean" w...
Let’s Chat! Anthony invites us behind the scenes of his gripping crime series "Death of Peace of Mind" in this revealing mid-series review. For fans who've been following Detective Walter Grayson's pursuit of the methodical Green Briar killer, this episode peels back the layers of meaning beneath the blood and evidence. The podcast isn't just another detective story—it's a psychological excavation disguised as a crime thriller. "It's about confronting the pieces of you you'd rather bury," An...
Let’s Chat! The haunting fourth episode of Death of Peace of Mind pulls you into a rain-soaked noir mystery where debts aren't measured in dollars but in broken promises and maintained silences. In the decrepit Ashburn Motel's Room 217, Detective Grayson faces a chilling scene – a murdered man propped at his desk, a burned ledger marked in blood-red ink, and five words that will echo through the investigation: "The Green Bar Keeps the Books." As Grayson and his partner Black chase connection...
Let’s Chat! What happens when the detective becomes the evidence? In this haunting noir episode of Gentleman's Journey, we step into a rain-soaked Chicago where Detective Grayson finds himself at the center of a disturbing case—his own photograph circled in red, hanging pristine above a murder victim in a frame shop where every other frame lies shattered. As Grayson pursues the killer known as "The Greenbrier," he's forced to confront the versions of himself he abandoned along the way—the ro...
Let’s Chat! What happens when we leave someone waiting too long? In "The One Who Waited," we follow Detective Grayson through rain-slicked streets of 1980s Chicago as he investigates the murder of Mary Blake—a woman from his past whose throat was cut in an alley behind the Sapphire Room jazz club. But this noir mystery quickly transforms into something far more haunting. As Grayson discovers cryptic messages left at the crime scene and encounters vinyl records that play without power, he con...
