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'.

This time our highlights one of Gossage's notable campaigns for Blitz Weinhardt Beer during the Oregon centennial, which humorously proposed reforesting Times Square to compensate New Yorkers for the beer's unavailability.
The campaign garnered massive attention despite its outlandish nature. Furthermore, Gossage's playful and inclusive copywriting style, often featuring collaborative projects with renowned figures like Stan Freeberg, and his inclination towards creating memorable ads.
