Episode 53 with Miss P Segal is out now! Meet P. Segal, a foundational figure in the San Francisco Cacophony Society and the early evolution of Burning Man. The conversation traces the historical significance of 1907 Golden Gate, a massive Victorian residence that served as a creative clubhouse where artists collaborated on subversive urban pranks and planned the first desert excursion of the "Man" in 1990. Miss P details her transition from a caterer and restaurateur to a therapist, eventually returning to her roots by developing Art House, a non-profit initiative dedicated to establishing permanent housing co-ops for displaced artists. She shares a history that captures the shift from underground play to organized community activism, lamenting the gentrification of San Francisco while championing the enduring necessity of unstructured creative connection.
