CHAOS meets CONTROL at Burning Man
From David Boyer | Part of the THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man series | 27:08
1996 was a turning point for Burning Man. Two people were run over in their tents. And another person died in a head-on collision.

1996 was a turning point for Burning Man. It was also the last year co-founder John Law attended. Two people were run over in their tents. And another person died in a head-on collision right before the gates opened. The next year, organizers tried to tame the chaos with a bunch of new rules and a grid of streets. It was too much of a compromise for Law. So, he walked away. We talked about that and more at his office in Tribune Tower in Oakland.

We begin where art meets motion. Burning Man hasn’t officially started but there’s plenty going on: Camps are being set up, art is being erected and a family of first-time art car makers is hustling to finish up their vehicle. But they can’t actually drive it until it’s approved by the DMV. As in the Department of Mutant Vehicles.

Host David Boyer has been going to Burning Man since 1996. This time, he's heading back with a mission: to capture the event before it's over or loses all connection to its origins.

Burning Man is guided by "10 Principles." One is radical inclusion. What does that mean for people with disabilities?

- WILL meets WAY at Burning Man

- David Boyer
Burning Man is guided by the so-called "10 Princples," one of which is radical inclusion. What does that mean for people with disabilities? Especially at an event that spans seven-square miles of cracked desert, and the most common forms of transit are biking and walking. We meet a Burner with limited vision and a camp for people with mobility issues.

DESERT meets DEFAULT at Burning Man

It looks like an old phone on a dusty table. Curious folks at Burning Man pick up the receiver. What awaits on the other end is totally unexpected.

- DESERT meets DEFAULT at Burning Man

- David Boyer
Burning Man is known for its massive, Instagram-friendly art installations that are a stark contrast to the beige, desert backdrop. There are also many smaller projects, labors of love that can easily get lost. In this installment, THE INTERSECTION discovers one of them. To the naked eye, it looks like an old phone on a dusty table. Curious folks at Burning Man pick up the receiver. What awaits them on the other end is totally unexpected.
Thr project is The Phone Experiment™; it's the creation of David Cooper, a coder-slash- comedian who lives in San Francisco. He was kind enough to give us access to more than 24-hours of recorded conversations.
PARTY meets PRAYER at Burning Man
From David Boyer | Part of the THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man series | 20:34
Burning Man is pagan at its core with a hell-ish aesthetic. So why do so many devout Christians attend? And what do they do there?

Burning Man is pagan at its core with a hell-ish aesthetic. It's understandable that many evangelical leaders condemn the event. But why do so many devout Christians attend each year? And what do they do once they're there? We meet the priests and apostles of Religious AF camp, who are on a mission to help other Burners heal their spiritual wounds.

REVELRY meets REVERENCE at Burning Man

Beyond the effigy that gives Burning Man its name, there’s another wooden structure: The Temple. Arguably, it’s the spiritual center of the event.

BLACK LIVES MATTER meets BLACK ROCK CITY
From David Boyer | Part of the THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man series | 56:11
One principle guiding Burning Man is "Radical Inclusion." But it's never been racially diverse. Activists like Favianna Rodriguez are changing that.

- BLACK LIVES MATTER meets BLACK ROCK CITY
- From
- David Boyer
One of the principles guiding Burning Man is "Radical Inclusion." Basically, all are welcome. But, the temporary city that Burners build in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert has never been racially diverse. Just 1% of Black Rock City self-identifies as Black. In this episode of THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man, we explore why there's been a disconnect between racial and radical inclusion, and what some Burners, like Oakland Activist and Artist Favianna Rodriguez, are doing to change that.
This episode was edited by Lisa Morehouse. And engineered for your listening pleasure by Gabe Grabin with music from Erik Pearson and Blue Dot Sessions.
Special thanks to Jenee Darden, Jonathan Davis and Jessie Weiner. And of course to the folks at Que Viva and the Burning Man Project.

GLOBAL ISSUES come to BURNING MAN
From David Boyer | Part of the THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man series | 59:37
As the media portrays 2023's Burning Man as a hellscape, THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man revists the work of a group of Burners at the 2019 event. They felt that the overwhelmingly white community wasn't living up to its self-proclaimed principle of Radical Inclusion. Find out what has changed and what hasn't.

As the media portrays 2023's Burning Man as a hellscape, THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man revists the work of a group of Burners at the 2019 event. They felt that the overwhelmingly white community wasn't living up to its self-proclaimed principle of Radical Inclusion. Find out what has changed and what hasn't.
And, as you are bombarded with online click bait about 70,000 people being stranded in the desert, I encourage you to listen to the nine-episode season of THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man. You’ll hear the stories of an insanely creative, giving, conscious, and unconventional community.
