Rick Glassman: Pushing Boundaries, Letting The Audience In

Alright y’all— after 2 exhilarating improvisational explorations on his acclaimed podcast Take Your Shoes Off, it was time to bring the incomparable Rick Glassman into Flow State I knew it’d be a great pod, but I had no idea I’d get to reap the benefits of Rick’s PCS (Podcast Consulting Service) free of charge! I just genuinely love hanging out with this guy so much. It was awesome to hear about the parallels between my approach to doing improvised concerts and Rick’s approach to editing and animating his podcast. Also the narrative freestyle toward the end of this ep had my adrenaline soaring!!!! I think y’all are gonna dig this one— thanks so much for being here and enjoy SHOW NOTES: Sur Jazz’s Portra 400 https://youtu.be/YzLWJOloaTI?si=26AaljZ064nl8OqO https://surjazz.bandcamp.com/album/portra-400 Harry Mack on TYSO - #195 https://youtu.be/Hs5LSHuseL8?si=4eUzeOSgNTmI9xxJ Harry Mack & Lamorne Morris on TYSO - #243 https://youtu.be/A3mHjf6lt-w?si=Qmpj2uSeAdaeMRh- I Am Phenomenal https://youtu.be/pEZCTUymiUw?si=Gi4UA-5nxqCdLS2J Rick Glassman’s Will Smith Monologue on TYSO https://youtu.be/2GjobYxWAmk?si=ZzcvXoZNEYb0dXKB&t=4021 Jim Kwik https://www.jimkwik.com/ Hypest Prom Ever (Guerrilla Bars 25) https://youtu.be/fShjMXWu6kU?t=1122 New Music OUT NOW: https://harrymackofficial.com/listen Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:47 Podcasting Advice From Rick 00:11:03 Take Your Shoes Off 00:18:49 Struggles with Watching Yourself 00:21:16 Being Cool 00:28:08 Being Willing to Fail 00:31:03 Performance as Play 00:37:53 Focusing on Image vs Being Present (Smile and Be Ugly, Dude) 00:46:20 Visual Contextualization 01:03:34 Pee Break Freestyle 01:07:47 Long Form Freestyling 01:08:52 Three Girls At the Guggenheim Freestyle 01:18:00 Visualizing the Scene 01:22:59 Closing Conversation
