Jackie Burns (Wicked, Hair, Rock of Ages) is an American actress/Broadway star.

Jackie, one of the most non-jewish Jews I've ever met, comes over to my apartment to meet both my mom and me for the first time.

A few months back, I went to the closing show of "Wicked" at the Pantages Theatre, met the green witch, Elphaba, and couldn't wait to meet the powerhouse in person. She's incredibly talented, charismatic, sweet and I think she likes me but I know she and my mom hit it off real well.

Hi, I'm Rick Glassman, and I'm a goofy guy and a cute boy. As a kid, I had debilitating OCD. I still have a lot of “things.” The title of my podcast “Take Your Shoes Off” is a microcosm of my need for control and order in a world that... keeps their shoes on.

I created this podcast to showcase a more serious side, as I have conversations with some of the funniest and most interesting people in the world. I’ve learned the language of comedy in an attempt to survive this shoes-on world, so  of course there will be some goofs and spoofs, but think of this podcast as you being a fly on the wall, as opposed to being an audience member in a theatre. 

Please, take your shoes off, and enjoy!

Comedian Rick Glassman interviews THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE

Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman

Hi, I'm Rick Glassman. I'm a goofy guy and a cute boy. As a kid I had debilitating OCD. As an adult, I still have a lot of “things.” The title of my podcast “Take Your Shoes Off” is a microcosm of my need for control and order in a world that... keeps their shoes on. I'm also a comedian, writer, and actor. My weekly podcast ranges between interviews & casual conversations with other comedians, actors, directors, musicians, collectors and anyone else I find interesting. I also have my family on often. Sometimes it's educational (nerding out about comedy, writing, directing, basketball, comics & Magic the Gathering); sometimes it's quite serious talking about OCD, therapy, and personal obstacles. Often it's VERY silly. Whatever you're into, we probably cover it... with a hint of awkwardness. Come on in and enjoy -- but please make sure to TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF.
