The Firehouse Salon
The Firehouse Salon brings together diverse minds – scientists, philosophers, artists, and innovators – to explore how communication shapes our world. Inspired by Howard Gossage's maverick spirit, each conversation delves into the intersection of ideas, creativity, and effective change-making. More than just discussing advertising, we investigate how different perspectives and approaches can solve real problems and create meaningful impact. Originally inspired by our BBC Radio 4 documentary 'The Socrates of San Francisco'.

Welcome to the Firehouse Salon. A show inspired by a man who became known as the Socrates of San Francisco.
This series has developed following a radio show for BBC Radio 4, so it seems only fitting to give you a flavour of that radio documentary to get you in the door of our intentions with this podcast.
