Burning Man LIVE Buck Down and the Cult That Joins You
What happened at BRC? What didn’t happen? Why did it seem that we couldn’t get back to interdependence?
After the traumas of the pandemic and political vilification, we somehow didn’t trust each other at BRC. Or if we did, we didn’t seem to know it, or feel it, or enjoy it.
Andie Grace swaps stories with Buck Down, a 25-year Burner, Gate Manager, musician, and author of the wildly popular article “What the Fuck Just Happened at Burning Man?”
They spitball on how to encourage more play, work, and random participation, and how to split the event into two.
Black Rock City changed underneath us. As stewards of this culture, let’s remember the parts of the culture that had us commit to it. Let’s make this ‘cult that joins you’ worth it.
FYI: This episode is fun and full of curse words. And as always, the last part is the best.
