In this episode, we sit down with Marty Arominski, the visionary behind the Long Island Haunted Firehouse, to explore the surprising depths of the haunted attraction industry. Marty shares his unique philosophy, revealing that his work is not just about frights, but about giving back to the community and providing a powerful form of escapism.

From the psychological impact on visitors to the adrenaline-fueled reactions, this conversation uncovers the raw human element at the heart of the "haunt" experience.

Beyond the screams and special effects, Marty sheds light on the serious side of the business, discussing the stringent policies and restrictions that govern his attraction. He provides a behind-the-scenes look at the crucial role of insurance and risk assessment in ensuring safety and managing the high-stakes environment of a haunted house.

In this compelling episode, we kick off with a fantastic piece of news as we celebrate the recent honor received by the very platform you're listening to—MadPo3t Podcast has been acknowledged by Feedspot as a top poetry platform in the UK. This recognition sets the stage for a deep and insightful conversation with our guest, the multifaceted artist Julian Raven.

Julian takes us on a journey through his artistic evolution, sharing how his life—from growing up in London and Marbella to becoming based in New York—has shaped his powerful and often provocative creations. We explore his creative process across various mediums, including painting, photography, and the poetry that connects him to this very platform.

The conversation then takes a fascinating turn as Raven recounts the details of his high-profile media flare-up with the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. He candidly shares the story behind his controversial painting of Donald Trump and his subsequent legal battle with the institution and its director, Kim Sajet. This segment offers an intimate look into the events that led him to challenge one of America's most revered cultural establishments.

Finally, we convene on his latest endeavor, a book that meticulously chronicles his legal and political fight. Raven provides an inside look at his motives for writing the book and the revelations he uncovers about the art gallery and the lady at the center of the storm, Kim Sajet. This episode is not just about art; it's a profound discussion about free speech, institutional power, and one man's unwavering determination to have his voice heard.
