I'm Bryan Russ & I'm a comedian, author, voice artist, radio personality, chef, humanist, activist, animal lover, fitness runner, & strong realized empath with over 15 years of experience as an energetic empath. Bryar Patch Media is the brand for the podcast, books, comedy albums, videos, and anything & everything I'm working on!
Who we are:
Energetic empaths, paranormal enthusiasts, researchers, & investigators, mental health & quality of life advocates, freethinkers & freedom fighters who look at the totality of our culture & times to identify any & all regressive/oppressive systems & attitudes in our world. To bring about better clarity, mental, emotional, & spiritual health, advocacy & hope for people & the so they feel more empowered, balanced, happy & free. We're also a resource for empaths & highly sensitive people, & paranormal believers who take on the subject with a balanced, skeptical but open-minded approach! As empaths we have a clairvoyant wisdom to the subject matter.
What it's all about:
This is a podcast about the paranormal, cryptids, and all unexplained phenomena, as well as a resource for empaths to uncover & better understand the phenomenon in a down to earth & accessible way. We talk about robust mental health for regular people & empaths alike & we take on systems & attitudes that oppress & exploit people.
What we care about:
We strive to build a community (Empath Tribe) for regular people, empaths, those struggling with mental health imperfections, & people having a hard time finding opportunities, meaning, & balance in this world. We strive for best practices & sustainable outcomes in our culture. We talk about real life stuff in a straightforward & honest way & try to keep the show both impactful, thoughtful, fun & playful as well.
Our background:
Bryan Russell is the main host of the show, with a background in the military, as an EMT, phlebotomist, massage therapist, energy healer, chef, radio technician & radio personality. My biggest love is being a chef, having worked from Cook to Head Chef & everything in between! When I was in school I came to the realization I had the ability to sense vibes, energies, intentions, & emotions that aren't always my own. I can pick up on residual energies & spirits, often with the ability to sense the past & different types of people & emotions that once inhabited an area, or an actual spirit haunting a location. I'm a full-time comedian, podcaster, researcher, voice artist, author, & lover of the funner, more cheerful, & compassionate side of life.
Rebecca Russell is my wife, best friend, & co-host of the show. Also an empath, she & I have come to learn much about the the spirit realm & the unexplained. In real life we're just down to earth people with a relaxed & fun sensibility. Sometimes we're fun-loving & humorous, sometimes we're deep & very real. Rebecca was a medical assistant for over 18 years in a major pediatric office & now works as a customer service supervisor for a major grocery store. We're all about trying to make the world feel more comfortable, fair, less punitive, more classy, fun-loving, & have more positive energy, fairness, dignity, & good cheer.

On this very fun and enlightening episode, first Rebecca and I have some big news to share with you about the show, our future, and some serious medical news. Then Rebecca and I talk about how you can find balance between all of life's demands, from fitness and career, to activism and civic participation, to leisure and getting ahead in a way that's still fun and enjoyable that doesn't deteriorate your mind, body, and soul. We then talk about work vs play balance, the "pleasure principle" vs our "civic responsibility," and a balance between being happy and that need to always be right. Then lastly, we end on, why do people dabble in the playful weird world of aliens and UFOs, ghosts and ghoulies, bigfoot and cyprids, and all things "out there," bizarre, unexplained, and macabre?
It's all about finding cosmic perspective, spiritual groundedness and emotional comfort. To find balance, control, and meaning amongst the chaos. To explore and seek answers to that which defies easy explanation or understanding, and to satisfy our understanding of our place in the universe. At the end of the day, human beings have inquisitive hearts, restless spirits, and very real emotional and personal needs. A desire to find answers to both our innermost mortal queries and life's biggest questions in the cosmos. To somehow find happiness and balance between real world problems and our innermost spiritual and emotional needs.
