Wes Modes - Artist, Historian, Educator. Captain of the Shantyboat Dotty. I wanted him on as a guest because I saw a sick youtube video all about riding shantyboats and learning about the history of river people in the United States. When he agreed to come on my podcast I was floored!
We talked river people and shanty boats, but spent a bunch of time talking gentrification, race, train hopping, higher education...this was a truly special chat and I hope that you enjoyed it.
Some links to Wes's projects:

And as a bonus, the origin story of Dotty:
