Welcome to the Firehouse Salon. A show inspired by a man who became known as the Socrates of San Francisco. 

This series has developed following a radio show for BBC Radio 4, so it seems only fitting to give you a flavour of that radio documentary to get you in the door of our intentions with this podcast.
