Episode 88: Post Burning Man 2018 Chat with Halcyon

9/29/2018

Our annual post-Burn decompression

Arash and Halcyon spend a bunch of time not talking about Burning Man since Halcyon is usually busy with Pink Heart stuff and Arash had to leave the Burn early due to a medical emergency. But they do talk about some of the art and topics of community interest when they’re not detouring into their personal Burning Man and general life journeys.
