May the fourth be with you. Get it? For Star Wars day!

I'm Colton Petry and today my guest is Austin Wells, Leader and operator of Portside Rogues, the Lightsaber academy.

Today my guest is Christina Ray Stanton, a New York City tour guide with over thirty years of experience showing the Big Apple to people who've never experienced it. We cover all kinds of things from planning a trip, to staying safe while out and about. On top of that we briefly discuss her experience living through the 9/11 attack and the award winning book she wrote about pressing through the fallout from just six blocks away. I don't want anyone to be caught off guard when it comes up near the end of the episode, but I also don't want anyone turned away by the seriousness of it. We spend a couple minutes at most discussing the whole situation, giving most of our time to the city itself and experiences any tourist could wish to find there.   Email the show at: DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or through any of the social media pages!

What is art? Is there an overlap between the classic oil painting by the Renaissance masters, HP Lovecraft, and a 21st century tattoo artist? Yes of course there is. No matter how they differ as people, they are all contributing a form of art into the world.  That's what my guest, Dan Henk, and I discuss today.  Dan has his hands in a lot of art fields, and by that I mean A LOT of fields.
