Dispatches from the Armchair is back! In this inaugural episode of Season 2, Mike and John talk about Burning Man, the cultural event/art expo/music festival/counter-cultural community that forms each year deep in the Nevada desert. John gives us a basic primer on life on the ground. As usual, our conversation goes all over the place, and this time we spend the second half digging a bit deeper into Buddhism, something that has captured Mike's interest in recent months.
