The Firehouse Salon
Exploring big ideas through honest conversations to share insights for those who want to change the world. Inspired by the maverick spirit of 1960s adman Howard Luck Gossage, we bring diverse minds together to discuss not just how to make things, but make things that work. Join us as curious, iconoclastic, and obvious ideas collide at the Salon. Accompanies our BBC Radio 4 show 'The Socrates of San Francisco' - check it out on BBC sounds.
