About A Big Sur Podcast
A Big Sur Podcast An ongoing conversation with people from near and far about Big Sur's past, present, and future. A Big Sur Podcast interprets “community” to mean ALL people from around the world who are curious about, and who care about, the preservation and restoration of the wild and rural character of Big Sur. Stories are told by visitors and residents, plumbers and linesmen, musicians and authors, dancers and jugglers and others. Sometimes we drift (way) off-topic into the arts, sciences, personal stories, gossip, politics, philosophy, ornithology, Henry Miller, and our zeitgeist in general. We like that! The opinions expressed here belong to the people who express them. They may or may not line up with yours, mine, or your neighbor’s — and that’s exactly the point. Different perspectives, lived experiences, and even wildly clashing views are what make conversations worth listening to: enriching, infuriating, life-affirming, and sometimes all three at once. If you are planning a visit to Big Sur and you listen to some of the folks on this Podcast talk about their love of the place your visit will probably be a lot more rewarding. Please email magnus@henrymiller.org with any comments, critique & suggestions.

# 133 Living With Fire: Big Sur Kate — How do we know what we know when Big Sur is burning?
Published 27 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Right, right. It is a constant effort. challenge and something that is being discussed quite often in these situations over and over again, which is how information is disseminated and how it's being spun, like you said. And of course, now also with Facebook and all the various ways we can communicate, sometimes perhaps good information gets buried in bad information. What is your sense of all that? What I've found over all these years now is that the most critical time to get accurate, timely information is the first few hours, days, rarely weeks.
