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.

Then, Patrick dives into our weekly real estate horror story, featuring Theo—a first-time real estate investor who skipped the most crucial step: due diligence. Find out how his first property purchase turned into a costly lesson, and what every investor can learn from his experience.

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. You’ll also hear about the challenges facing preservation today, and why forgotten spaces and found objects can hold deep meaning in our collective history. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a place worth preserving or who decides, this episode will leave you thinking differently about the buildings around you.
