Shadow Of The Man
This is a show about how Burning Man has impacted people, places, and things over time. It is a 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
