  • Great BtS info

    I love learning the behind the scenes details and backstories of how cultural phenomena are made and evolve, and this podcast does an excellent job of giving history and context of burning man as an event and a cultural influence, via the perspective and stories of the individuals who make it what it is. Andie is a great interviewer, the audio is good (as in, misophonia safe), and the guests are smart and interesting. Bravi!

  • Everything you wanted to know…and more!

    A delightful, informative, wondrous and sometimes wacky look at the people that make Burning Man happen in the world. Hosts Stuart, Andie, Kbot and Vav keep the interviews moving along while bringing their own storied histories into play. A must listen to anyone who’s been, who wants to go or is just curious about what that Burning Man thing is.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 10 Principles and the Self - Brian Lowery
Q: Is radical self-reliance a delusion, and what does reliance look like when creating a city-sized community?
The discussion challenges the ideal of the self-reliant individual and considers how people depend on one another to build and sustain a large community.
The 10 Principles and the Self - Brian Lowery
Q: How much of radical self-expression is just about you, and how much is for and from the community?
The conversation frames self-expression as sharing one's experience with others, making that act itself a gift and an expression of connection.
Solar Punks - Badasses of Climate Hope
Q: I understand you folks were active in the Los Angeles fires. Tell me a little bit about that.
Solar Punks provided batteries to disaster-relief centers and families, helped keep power on at an artists' commune, and shared deployment lessons with clean-energy and government groups.
Solar Punks - Badasses of Climate Hope
Q: What's punk about your operation?

Long Live Community Art Spaces - Charlie Gadeken
Q: What challenges are you facing with the move and fundraising?
The main challenge is securing funds and a new space; after 23 years in one location, the landlord wants to redevelop, so the goal is to raise hundreds of thousands to move and establish the nonprofit structure that can sustain operations long-term.
