The Firehouse Salon
We are living through the most significant shift in human creativity since Gutenberg. While may are stuck in a conversation about fear, replacement and redundancy the Firehouse Salon is having a different conversation entirely.
Each episode brings together unexpected guests at the intersection of creativity, science, art, technology and innovation, curious people who are leaning into this moment rather than away from it.
This is the age of the Tediophobe: people driven by a desire to explore, to make something worth making. The Firehouse Salon is their podcast.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, hosts Ashley Pollak and James King discuss the lost art of letter writing. Turning to their patron saint, Howard Gossage, they explore how his letter writing turned ink into conversation and later collaborations with iconic figures like John Steinbeck and Marshall McLuhan.
From putting pen to paper to sending voice notes, Ashley and James share how they have used unconventional forms of communication to open doors and forge new relationships.
Whether you're looking for a reason to reach out to someone you admire, or you're wondering what the modern equivalent of a pen pal looks like today, listen on.
