About this episode
Episode 75 with Burner Nurse is out now! Meet Burner Nurse, who discusses her role as a volunteer for the Emergency Services Department (ESD) at the Burning Man festival. The conversation explores the unique medical challenges of the desert, ranging from severe dehydration and environmental ailments like "playa lung" to bizarre injuries caused by amateur engineering. Jen highlights the critical importance of radical self-reliance, urging participants to prepare meticulously with their own medications and supplies rather than relying on the festival’s limited resources. Beyond the logistical advice, her story emphasizes the community-driven spirit and the non-judgmental, professional care provided by volunteers who return year after year to support the event’s survival. One of her main goals is to educate listeners on safety and preparation while celebrating the profound personal impact of the festival's culture on its attendees.
