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.
The Firehouse Salon
Ep 8 - Ramparts magazine
In this episode we "uncover the largely untold story of Ramparts magazine, the spectacular San Francisco muckraker that captured the zeitgeist of the '60s and repeatedly scooped the New York Times, changing American journalism forever"
You can see a selection of the amazing covers from the magazine here
We interview Peter Richardson who has written critically acclaimed books about the Grateful Dead, Ramparts magazine, and Carey McWilliams, the radical author & journalist of The Nation magazine.
