Burner Podcast - Episode #19 to #41

Burner Podcast

For our first messy, bairly duct-taped together show, it only felt right to have a chat with Brady: A man who has been a quiet force behind transforming San Diego's little decompression to the full-on regional burn it is today. Arash and Brady also talk politics, Facebooks and Texas.

Burner Podcast Episode 1: Brady Mahaney, OG Community Leader

Arash and Thanasi chat about TED Talks, community building tactics and the differences between New York burners and Southern California hippies.

Episode 2﻿: Thanasi Glavas, Community Organizer

Arash and Aliss get tipsy and discuss the emotional process of changing one's self, the business of life coaching and not quitting film production even after all your stuff gets jacked in Egypt.

Episode 3: Aliss Wang, Life Coach and Filmmaker

Powered only by her will and cough drops, Nicole talks to Arash about Burning Man bureaucracy, turnkey camps, playa politics and what exactly constitutes a "burner."

Episode 4: Nicole Hickman, Regional Contact

Taz talks to a very nervous Arash about crashing a satellite into the moon to create a new crater, fire safety and the regret that comes with spray-painting one’s entire naked body on the playa.

Episode 5: Taz, SDCAP Board Member, Technologist

Career Counselor and Uli Baba & the Horny Thieves Camp Lead, Kim Eisenberg, sits with Arash to talk career counseling, professional inspiration and theme camp planning logistics. The final third of the show is all about Consent Culture and plays like a pilot for the Kim and Arash Morning Hour.

Episode 19: Kim Eisenberg, Career Counselor and Uli Baba & the Horny Thieves Camp Lead

Producer Meg sits in as Dr. Brown (a.k.a. Kingsley) swings by the studio to cling beers with Arash and tell the story of his lifelong relationship with psychedelics, culminating with his MAPS funded research of ibogaine and its potential for treating drug addiction. Arash predictably screws up the acronym in the intro.

Episode 20: Dr. Thomas Kingsley Brown, Researcher at MAPS

Producer Meg, Online Editor Thanasi, Music Editor Nav and Borderline Useless Arash recap their Burn experiences. Highlights include dust, emotional breakdowns and vodka. 

Episode 21: Post Burning Man Roundtable with the Staff of Burner Podcast

Arash and his man-crush discuss writing, the creative process, sleeping on rooftops and traveling through South America while reading Rumi. Chad also talks tent-tripping and reads us a poem about his home, Tijuana.
