Shadow Of The Man
This is a show about how Burning Man has impacted people, places, and things over time. It is a twice monthly long form interview show with a guest who is invited to tell their story. All of the guests have a history with Burning Man with some going back to beyond the beginning. Shadow Of The Man showcases our guests and allows them to tell their stories in the manner they want and how they see fit to tell it. These are genuine unedited conversations with movers and shakers as well as burners not many have ever heard of. If you are curious about not just what the hell all these people are doing way out in the desert but why they keep coming back year after year, this is the show for you. #burningman #blackrockcity #burningmanpodcast
Shadow Of The Man
EP 20 Meghan Rutigliano
Meet Megs (aka Meghan Rutigliano) who grew up in the East Coast and Midwest and first went to Burning Man in 2005 from Chicago. She helped the late, great Burning Man legend Tom Laporte record BMIR commercials. In 2007 she moved to San Francisco and applied for a job on a whim with the Burning Man Project as a receptionist. In 2008 she was hired, not as a receptionist but to help out with the Regional Network. She helped to lead the Regional Network for 11 years travelling around the world to many Regional groups. She retired from working at Burning Man in 2019 and in 2020 started working with a nonprofit called Global Eclipse. Then COVID hit and she moved back to Detroit. She now works with a nonprofit called Advancing Macomb (advancingmacomb.com), a nonprofit accelerator. Please enjoy Episode 20 with Megs.
