Testimonials

  • "Just wanted to drop you a line to say "thank you". I can not tell you how much I appreciate your show and the guests you have on. I download your podcasts and listen to them on my Zune. We do not have the availability to hear anything like what you have on your show in our area in upper Indiana. I appreciate your life's work and for sharing what you've learned with people. I've tried several times to fill in the "makeover" request...only to have my computer crash...weird! But I just want you to know we middle westerners...appreciate you!"

  • "I had the best time on the radio today with Dr. Pat on The Dr. Pat Show.  It is all about talk radio to thrive by!  Pat is a great interviewer and tons of fun!!!"

  • “[...] and I love you Alvin and Dr. Pat. Thank you so much for having this great show today. And might I add that, that… um… what I love about you, the way you inspired me, and we’ve talked about this, is that you have created a way, and this is also what I do with my show The Concessional. We create a way for people to see “what CAN we do?” We don’t have to agree, we don’t even have to like that we don’t agree. But what can we do? What can we do to create a better country, a better city, a better neighborhood, a better planet. And that’s really what’s important, it does not matter. You know, its true, these congressman and all these people in office and all this stuff that’s going on, I’ll tell ya. The politicians right now are lacking, but they are… the thing that’s the hardest to swallow, is they are a complete mirror of what we will accept. The absolute mirror. And so, we have a lot of work to do. A lot of work to do. I knew this nurse once and she was like “What is this thought that there’s all this unemployment and there’s no work. There IS work. As long as there are behinds to wipe, there is work. And so we all have something to do. We all have work to do and we all have our purpose on the planet. Thank God for you, Dr. Pat, because I’ll tell you what, if you only touched one life in all these years, it was me, and I am so glad I listened to you in the early stages and I am so glad that both you and I are putting it out there, and you too Alvin, that people can do something. They don’t have to sit around and accept what they consider to be their reality.”

  • "Thank you for inviting me. It's wonderful to be here to be able to share with everyone all the great discoveries and possibilities that are available to us today. Thank you Pat. Thank you for your beautiful words and that what I want to leave with people is if you don't experience how extraordinary you are and how profoundly you are loved. Then I want you to drop into that place of beat stillness, experience that, and let it flood your body with the brilliance of the light of your soul."

  • "Dr. Pat Bacilli is that rare intuitive Media Educator whose enthusiasm and prescience are "tuned in" far beyond the station. She can generate multidimensional sparks on the air--and possibly around you at home...Her deceptively concise interviews pack a lot more than information...and I suspect are broadcast to unlisted, "non-local" stations far far away...She delivers an "energy burst" more than an "interview." She also seems to know if you're onto something "new" before you do; pay attention to that. My suspicion is that, by design, you get more than "words" when you listen to Dr. Pat's interviews and can take in more information. That's just one woman's opinion from a Parallel Universe..."
