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'.

In this episode of the Firehouse Salon, host Ash chats to this Eps guests: Jenna, a documentary filmmaker with a background in neuroscience; Ammie, a multidisciplinary artist; Abdallah, a cultural expert from Abu Dhabi working on the Saadiyat Cultural District; and Mick Wilson, tech editor of DJMAG UK Global.
In this episode, we dig into how human behavior and cultural influences shape each other, explore why spaces matter so much in art and culture, and question how technology is changing the way we consume culture.
We also look at art's role in helping us make sense of society, how our changing environments affect the way we act, and the importance of sharing cultural experiences with others.
