The Shadow Of The Man
Why do people go to Burning Man year after year, some for decades? Isn't it all a big party or is there more to it than that? The Shadow Of The Man show explores the impact and influence Burning Man has had on people over time in their own words. New long form interviews from a wide range of participants come out weekly. You will hear from the founders to key volunteers to regular participants. No one person has the answer to what Burning Man is all about but by listening to these series of interviews you get a clue to the glue that binds all of these diverse people (from all over the world) together. Everyone who has been says Burning Man has changed their lives, are you curious to hear what that is all about? #burningman #blackrockcity #burningmanpodcast

Episode 39 with Debi “Crackerjack” Mansour is out now! Camping with friends she first landed in Black Rock City in 2013. After that first year experience she went back to Rochester, NY and found her local burner community. In 2014 she went to Playa Del Fuego where she started a themecamp called “Crackerjack’s Booty Camp”. She also went to her first upstate NY Regional “POrtalBurn" in 2014 where she set about to volunteer. After that she did an annual “Booty Pageant" and "Crackerjack's Booty Camp” lived on for 6 more years. She is now on the Board Of Directors for POrtalBurn. She was involved in a Burnal Equinox in Rochester which she took over in 2017, in 2019 they formed a Nonprofit called “Not Your Mom”. Others started another “Burn” called “Cosmic Burn” in 2020 which was invitation only, she helped to organize the 2nd one. In 2021 Cosmic Burn was a themecamp at POrtalBurn. And in late 2021 Cosmic Burn got official Burning Man Regional Status.
Being a burner is so much more than just going to Black Rock City, there is a whole world of global Burners. Debi’s story is one of the first dives into this world, please give it a listen and learn how far Burning Man culture is spreading.
