Live Fire Podcast

Live Fire is a documentary-style interview series about the people who dedicate their lives to making things that last. Hosted by actor Lucas Calhoun, the show features long-form conversations with chefs, pitmasters, writers, makers, and cultural figures whose work is built on craft, discipline, and curiosity. Through their stories, the series explores the deeper ideas behind creation—how traditions are formed, how skills are passed down, and why certain work endures. The first season begins in the world of live-fire cooking, speaking with some of the most influential voices in barbecue and culinary culture. But the conversation goes far beyond food. At its core, Live Fire is about community through curiosity—the belief that asking questions, sharing knowledge, and learning from one another is how meaningful work is made. Season One builds toward Lockhart Rising (May 9, 2026) in Lockhart, Texas, where many of these voices gather around the fire. Because whether it’s food, ideas, or culture, the most important work is the kind that leaves something behind. 🔥
