About this episode
Episode 68 with Twan is out now! Meet Twan, a veteran Burning Man participant and the long-reigning former Los Angeles regional contact. Twan recounts the organic evolution of the global burner community before the advent of social media, detailing how disparate groups transitioned from unorganized email lists into the official regional network under the Burning Man umbrella. Twan explains his deep involvement with Pepe Ozan’s legendary operas, highlighted by a rigorous voodoo initiation in Haiti undertaken to ensure the artistic authenticity of the 1999 performance. His story explores the ethos of participation and collaboration, tracing his journey from organizing massive decompression events in Los Angeles to his current volunteer work with the Playa Restoration team, which maintains the event's "Leave No Trace" commitment.
