The Town of Odyssey

Ron Hamilton, who founded and voiced the Patch the Pirate audio dramas, has passed away after a long battle with early onset dementia.

I listened to Patch as much as or more than AIO growing up, and now all my kids love the Patch adventures.

Just passing on the news in case other AIO fans also were Patch the Pirate fans.

I only ever heard one episode of that series; I never knew the details behind the show, or that it was in fact a series, until much later on.

Old discussion thread is here, for reference of previously posted comments.

Yes, they release a new adventure every year. Several years ago, Patch's daughter and son-in-law have taken over the writing and producing. I own all the CDs and now also subscribe to the Patch app so my kids can listen easily in the car.

Short music video with Ron.

I always enjoyed what I heard--wasn't on local radio like AIO (which probably kept me from getting really, really into it) but we had a teacher or two in elementary school that played them for us fairly often.

Aww, sad news. I had to go listen to the best song (Possum Pot Pie, of course!) in memory.
