Episode 1: Rick Glassman, is God Not Cool in Comedy?
Rainn Wilson sits down with comedian @rickglassman (Take Your Shoes Off podcast, ABC's Not Dead Yet), known for his sharp wit and unique comedic timing. The two ponder their spiritual beliefs and fears that speaking on God could polarize the audience. Rick opens up about his adult diagnosis of autism and how this revelation shed light on his unique approach to communication, both offstage and on. He shares how this provided him with a lens through which to re-evaluate his mental health, past interactions and struggles for connection. They delve into the art of joke-telling, discussing the delicate balance between making the audience laugh and letting them in on the joke, creating a shared space of understanding and enjoyment.
What the heck is Soul Boom?
Originally conceptualized in Rainn Wilson’s book of the same name, Soul Boom is an idea that explores the potential for a spiritual revolution—a Soul Boom to instigate healing transformations, both individually and collectively.
On the podcast, Rainn extends the conversation beyond the book; engaging with the most brilliant and heart-felt artists, thinkers, and doers. Follow along as Rainn and guests delve into what it means to be human with a body and soul. Also, jokes!
