The Firehouse Salon
Some of us are driven by a creative desire not to be bored. We call such people Tediophobes. If that is you, then welcome to the madcap world of The Firehouse Salon. Conversations at the intersection of creativity, curiosity and making a dent in the world. Originally inspired by our BBC Radio 4 documentary 'The Socrates of San Francisco'.
The Firehouse Salon
Ep 8 - Ramparts magazine
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we "uncover the largely untold story of Ramparts magazine, the spectacular San Francisco muckraker that captured the zeitgeist of the '60s and repeatedly scooped the New York Times, changing American journalism forever"
You can see a selection of the amazing covers from the magazine here
We interview Peter Richardson who has written critically acclaimed books about the Grateful Dead, Ramparts magazine, and Carey McWilliams, the radical author & journalist of The Nation magazine.
About the show - We've now got into a rhythm with our format. New episodes will now be released fortnightly usually on a Wednesday. The Firehouse Salon live events take place once a month.
