6-year-old Teapot offers sage advice on the radio. Teen brothers Atticus and Colby interview deep-rooted DPW adults:

Coyote is the city superintendent of BRC, and author of the book, Built to Burn: Tales of the Desert Carnies of Burning Man.

Melissa Waters is an office administrator and a wellness educator for Burning Man Project.

Atticus and Colby are their sons. Who better to ask about families at BRC.

We also hear from

Abby Ehmann, aka StAbby, a longtime DPW Manager

and

Tamsin Hull, a DPW Volunteer and creative ceramics artist.

They talk about interactive art, smart art, playa names, and serendipity. It’s cool.

The episode ends strong with little kids on the radio at BRC. They share stories of Kidsville, a lemonade stand, and choosing to be an angel, not a dragon.

Hear the curiosity and the cuteness, and the occasional awkward transition… like childhood… BRC is for everyone.
