In today's episode we meet up with Jessica Hobbs who was part of the team on the Mechabolic a trash-to-fuel land speed racer slug at Burning Man 2007.

In this episode Seano, his wife Simone and his team lead Alex talk about the challenges facing the Green Shoes project at Burning Man 2007.

This week's episode is part of Katherine the Great's "Burners in Business" series featuring an interview from 2007 with Nikki Doran, owner of Wild on the Inside and creator of Prepare for the Playa — an annual event in San Francisco dedicated to providing everything you need for a great burn. Featured music is from beat-box artist Kid Beyond performing at Center Camp in 2008 recorded by Whiskey Devil.

The year 1996 was a challenging year for Burning Man: the theme was HeLLCo, the neon Smiley flickered in the effigy for a brief minute, Michael Furey was killed in motorcycle collision, and three people were seriously injured when a car ran over their tent. Also that year, our guest Danger Angel worked the Rangers night shift and after that she never again returned to Black Rock City. In this interview we find out why. Recorded the 9th of October, 2007 in San Francisco.
