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.

In this episode of the Firehouse Salon, we delve into the complex world of culture with Howard Luck Gossage and his 'firehouse gang'. We discuss how culture is often something to support rather than genuinely enjoy, and explore the insights it provides into our past, present, and future.
The conversation covers the impact of Gossage's work in advertising, the role of authenticity in brand content, and the blending of cultural products with marketing.
