Alright yâallâ 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 itâd be a great pod, but I had no idea Iâd get to reap the benefits of Rickâs 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 Rickâs approach to editing and animating his podcast. Also the narrative freestyle toward the end of this ep had my adrenaline soaring!!!! I think yâall are gonna dig this oneâ thanks so much for being here and enjoy

Josh Harmon is one of the most unique and entertaining content creators out there today and it was a pleasure to have him as a guest on Flow State! Josh is best known for his Rhythms of Comedy series and for creating live sound effects for scenes from some of your favorite cartoons, TV episodes, and movies. Part of what was so cool about getting to meet him in person and learning about his story was seeing how many parallels we share! From a childhood passion for drumming to forging his own path in online content creation during lockdown, this is definitely a man after my own heart. Hope yâall enjoy and be sure to check out his amazing work!Follow Josh on Socials:https://beacons.ai/joshharmon/MonoNeonDavid DockeryMITCH HEDBERG // Rhythms of Comedy: Ep. 2KEY & PEELE: Rhythms of Comedy (part 2)The MothJosh Harmon Business Insider interview

Whatâs goin on yâall? Weâre back with another episode of Flow State. You probably noticed by now that Iâve been going in hard on new written tracks, and I wanted to take the chance to talk a bit about where that creative impulse came from and how itâs been going. Yâall keep submitting fantastic questions, so this episode weâre also talking about meditation, overcoming self doubt, and how exactly I remember all those random words during freestyles â including during one of the most exciting, high-pressure freestyles of my life⊠when I got to spit a flow for Ice Cube and the cast of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Weâve got a lot of ground to cover, so pop in those ear buds and LETâS GOOOOO!

Itâs only right that the first official Flow State guest is not only one of my closest musical collaborators, but also someone I feel very privileged to call a friend⊠the incomparable Sur Jazz!!!! The two of us only really started working together consistently a couple years back, but in that short window of time weâve managed to live SO MUCH life togetherâ traveling the world, doing shows, and making lifelong memories both on and off the stage. There isnât a room on earth that Jazz canât light up with his energy. His musical knowledge is DEEP and ever expanding. Beyond DJing, Jazzâs production skills are top notch (as evidenced by the banger we dropped a few months back called â2024ââ yâall know whatâs up). The two of us have talked for hundreds of hours off camera but it was awesome to finally sit down and chop it up with Jazz for the pod. Hope yâall enjoy!!
