Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 78. Today, we’re getting back with Dr. Kaissa as we do a virtual check-in with the famous “California Doctor” from my book Sleeping with a Stranger. Although Dr. Kaissa was my doctor who helped me identify and heal adrenal issues in 2019, this is the first time she’s met with Brian. Since, thankfully, Brian’s body has been healthy for the past few years, he sometimes has flare-ups, and we can’t wait to share this conversation with the incredible, intuitive Dr. Kaissa who helps us tweak Brian’s wellness routine so he can continue healing. Episode 78 Topics: - Why having a functional rather than “normal” body should be our focus - How our emotional wellness and personal history can affect our health - How to take care of our inner child Episode 77 Product Picks: BeeKeeper’s Naturals In October 2019, I decided to write the entire first draft of my book in like... five days. It was intense. I knew I needed to be laser focused for those four days, so you better believe I loaded up on my Beekeeper’s Naturals goodies every day that week! I took the B. Powered superfood honey to improve my focus and keep me alert. I also took a BLIXR vial each morning to clear out that brain fog. Truthfully, two years ago I never could have written this book in four days. I didn’t have the mental clarity or the energy to do it. But my Beekeeper’s honey keeps me fueled and fog-free, and I can definitely notice a difference on the days I forget to take it. If you want to try out some of my favorite Beekeeper’s Naturals products, and get 15% off, go to zimmermanpodcast.com/bee Sleeping with a Stranger Sleeping with a Stranger is officially available everywhere books are sold in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Since the book’s launch, I’ve been amazed by how it has been received. From being named a best seller by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Amazon and Barnes & Noble to incredibly personal and touching reviews from my amazing readers, it’s been such a wild journey! Here’s one of my favorite reviews… “I love the honesty of this book. It is real and raw and doesn't hold back; and that is why it is so mesmerizing. I could relate on so many levels and I know it must've been so hard to write about many of these very personal and taboo topics. I couldn't put the book down, it was such an easy and enlightening read. I highly recommend this to anyone who is soul searching or just looking for some perspective. Truth is better than fiction!” I can’t wait to share this story with you! To get your copy, go to jessicazimmerman.com today or wherever books are sold.

On this episode of Open Space Radio, we’re celebrating our birthday! We started Open Space Radio a little over three years ago, and while many of you may have heard us talk about the early days of finding our podcasting groove — with not a whole lot of podcasting experience to pull from — we like to invite you, our listeners, in every once in a while to reflect back on some of our favorite Open Space Radio moments from the past. And we’ve had a lot of favorite moments. Three years later, we still feel so lucky to be able to share with you the conversations we get to have with park and recreation professionals and other incredible people who are truly improving the quality of life for the people in their communities. Since we recently celebrated our official third birthday, we thought it would be a good time to look back on our three most-downloaded episodes to date and share some of our thoughts, as well as give you a bit of a preview of a past episode you may have missed! Tune in to the full episode below to listen to our reflections on the past three years and hear clips from these past episodes: 1:42: Episode 24, “How Risk Play Can Benefit Kids” On this episode, we spoke with Tom Norquist, president of the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) about how risk and adventure play is stepping back into the limelight and helping kids’ independence and creativity. We reflect on how this episode is still really relevant today – for one, because of the increased awareness we’re currently seeing around the need for outdoor recreation during the pandemic, and also because we recently worked with IPEMA on guidance for safely using playgrounds during the pandemic. 5:57: Episode 46, “Esports at the Rec Center?” On this episode, we spoke with Neelay Bhatt, vice president of PROS Consulting and past NRPA board member, about what esports are, their impact on parks and recreation and the potential opportunities they present. We reflect on how esports and virtual programming can bridge a gap and reach audiences that haven’t typically participated in traditional park and recreation offerings, and how esports are going to increase in popularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 12:48: Episode 61: “How Park and Recreation Leaders are Addressing Coronavirus”  On this episode, we talked with Jesús Aguirre, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation and NRPA board member, Brian Zimmerman, CEO of Cleveland Metroparks, and Adriane Clutter, Division Chief at Montgomery County Recreation in Maryland, about how each of them was responding to COVID-19 at the time (March 10, 2020) in their respective areas of the country. We reflect on how the stats for this episode are so shocking to look at now compared to when we recorded the episode – for example, at the time of recording for this episode, there were only 432 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S., compared to the more than 5 million current cases. We also discuss our admiration for how well park and recreation professionals have pivoted to serve their communities during such a challenging time (be sure to also listen to the May, June and September bonus episodes for more on this). Thank you so much for your support and for listening to Open Space Radio over the years. We truly love being able to produce this podcast for you and can’t wait to see what the next three years bring! As always, if you have any ideas for future episodes, reach out!

Today, I’m sitting down with my favorite guest, Brian Zimmerman! So many of you have written in or DM’d me asking questions about Sleeping with a Stranger’s Brian Zimmerman. So much of the book focuses on our journey emotionally, relationally, and physically, and you guys want to know how we’re doing! Well, today we’re going to talk to the man himself, and ask him what it’s been like to have our story in the pages of a book that the whole world can read! While Brian isn’t as public as I am because of the nature of my work, his support and willingness to share have made this whole project possible, and I am so thankful for him! Episode 46 topics: - The emotional drive Brian and I took the day I found out the book was about to become real - How we navigate our roles in marriage after being forced to leave behind traditional gender roles - How Brian feels about the public’s reaction to Brian’s character - Whether Brian ever had reservations about sharing his story

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has made its way to the U.S. and the number of people infected continues to rise, with at least 539 confirmed cases in the U.S. at the time of this recording (at the time this episode was published, numbers had been recalculated to 432 confirmed cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). As the gatekeepers of many of our nation’s public gathering spaces, park and recreation professionals are seeking answers to key questions as they prepare strategies around response and prevention in the coming days and weeks — especially in communities that are starting to document confirmed cases. To help answer some of these questions, on today’s episode we’re joined by three park and recreation leaders from across the country who are actively addressing issues related to coronavirus: Jesús Aguirre, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation and NRPA board member Brian Zimmerman, CEO of Cleveland Metroparks Adriane Clutter, Division Chief Each of the states where these three live and work are experiencing confirmed or potential cases of COVID-19. As of this recording, Washington State had 136 confirmed cases, the D.C., Maryland and Virginia region had nine confirmed cases, and in Ohio, there are four potential cases being investigated (three of those cases have been confirmed at the time of publishing this episode). On this episode, we chat about: The impact of COVID-19 so far in each of their communities How they are handling communications to community members and dealing with misinformation and stigma surrounding this disease How they are collaborating with state and local health officials as well as other nearby park and recreation departments Preparations for the financial implications of COVID-19 Actions their agencies are taking to ensure they have proper staff coverage while keeping staff as safe as possible The importance of creating talking points for staff to ensure everyone is on the same page when communicating with the public Tune in to the episode below to hear our full conversation on how these three leaders are ensuring their communities stay healthy, well-informed and safe.

I enlist Brian Zimmerman (from the Facebook page GoodBadMovies) to list certain selections with various so-bad-they’re-good rankings. We also discuss how to introduce pals to this form of bad movie mockery, let alone embracing the stupidity of said bad movies. We discuss every type of films from cheesy movies that deserve to be rediscovered and unintentionally amusing comedies to overstylish disasters and bizarrely done scifi epics. So straddle up and hopefully we give you some fun tips-and-tricks for the best way to watch these movies (drinking games, whacky trivia, B-movie casts, misleading advertisement) and how some actors like Bruce Campbell make this a living. #JackedUpReviewShow #SoBadItsGood #BadMovies #TheIcePirates #MyBlueHeaven #SteveMartin #RonPerlman #AnjelicaHuston #TheRoom #TommyWiseau #SamuraiCop #RockyHorrorPictureShow #DTV #CultFilms #CultMovies #BlazingSaddles #MarvelMovies #MarvelComics #Marvel #MCU #SoGoodTheyreBad #GoodBadMovies #HilariouslyAwesome #AwesomelyBad #DolphLundgren #Goodfellas #Sequels #Gratuitous #Quality #Expectations #IcePirates #LordOfTheRings #IndependenceDay #RolandEmmerich #80sTVMovies #TurnerClassicMovies #Subgenres #Genres #40sMovies #VHSEra #VHSMovies #Bloopers #RockyHorrorPictureShow #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #ImprovisedMoments #Rewatch #GreatBadMoviesToWatch #DolphLundgren #UnintentionallyAmusing #HilariousBadMovies #NicolasCage #DriveAngry3D #DriveAngry #BadActors #WilliamFichtner #AmberHeard #YearlyFilms #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #BadDubbing #HerculesInNewYork #AttentionDeficitDisorder #BestBuy #TheManWithTheIronFists #QuentinTarantino #RussellCrowe #LucyLiu #AntennaChannels #70sKungFuMovies #Japan #China #Godzilla #MST3k #BlackDog #PatrickSwayze #MeatLoaf #RandyTravis #AdventuresOfPlutoNash #EddieMurphy #TotalRecall #AustinPowers #Sleepwalkers #MarkHamill #CHUD #Troma #MaverickHomeEnt #ThrowMommyFromTheTrain #BadComedies #RickMoranis #KillerKlownsFromOuterSpace #AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes #EncinoMan #PaulyShore #Disagreements #Disputes #FifthElement #LucBesson #SurvivingTheGame #HardTarget #GaryBusey #BadMovieKnowledge #SpaceRaiders #RogerCorman #Cherry2000 #TheyMustBeDestroyedOnSight #BluRay #ShoutFactory #RiffTrax #MysteryScienceTheater3000 #CloseUp #IncompetentMovies #BandOfTheHand #MichaelMann #ReeferMadness #SamuelLJackson #DeathWish #BruceCampbell #SamRaimi #ChuckNorris #StevenSeagal

We’re sharing our secret to growing up and growing old together, how we run our finances so they’re a means of connection in both the lean years and in the years of abundance, and why we hate the term “breadwinner.” Let’s all say thanks to Brian for being willing to sit in my foam-padded closet while we recorded one of the most intimate and in-depth Zimmerman Podcast episodes yet. Brian, there’s no one else I’d rather do this life with. Happy Anniversary. Let’s dive in!

Joining host Brian Zimmerman on the podcast today is pianist Jacky Terrasson. Born in Germany to an American mother and French father, Terrasson has been a force in modern jazz since his rocket-propelled arrival on the scene in 1993. That year, two major achievements set him on a rapid path to success: the first was winning the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition. The second was recording his self-titled major-label debut with Blue Note Records. Blue Note has remained a home for Jacky for nearly three decades, and just last month, he released his 12th album for the label. Simply called 53, the album is meant to reflect his truest self as seen from the distance that only experience can provide. With all original music, the album features three different trios comprising some of Jacky's closest musical partners and a few new collaborators. We talk to Jacky about the making of the new album as well as the monumental influence pianists like Bud Powell, Keith Jarrett and Ahmad Jamal on his life. We also discuss his lifelong passion for fine food, his new foray into acting and why the nickname that has hung around him for so long — "the piano player of happiness" — doesn't make him all that happy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brian-zimmerman/support

Joining host Brian Zimmerman on the podcast for this episode is contemporary jazz saxophonist Dave Koz, whose new album Summer Horns II: From A to Z, is a salute to the greatest horn sections in rock and pop history. It’s an extension of his first Summer Horns project from 2013, which featured hip arrangements of classic tunes by Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, Chicago, Stevie Wonder and many more. In this podcast, we ask Dave to talk about his favorite horn sections of all time and what makes them so special. We also discuss the recent release Lost Koz, which collects previously unissued tracks from throughout Dave’s career, as well as his Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruise events. Dave has such a warm personality and is such a great storyteller that it wasn’t a minute into our conversation before we were finding common ground. Among our other big similarities: we’re just a couple of Jewish guys who happen to love classic Christmas music. We talk about that, too. You’re going to like what you hear.

On this episode of JAZZIZ Backstage Pass, host Brian Zimmerman engages in a frank and wide-ranging discussion with pianist and vocalist Jamie Cullum, the best selling U.K. jazz artist of all time. It has been five years since the release of Jamie’s previous album, Interlude, and nearly 20 since the release of his first recording, Heard It All Before, for which he pressed just 500 copies. Now he’s out with a brand new record called Taller. It was released June 7 on Blue Note Records, and in many ways, it’s stylistic reinvention for the 39-year-old Grammy-nominated musician, fusing genres from his past and carrying with it a deeply personal message. Cullum said the title came from an aspect of his relationship with his wife, the actress and writer Sophie Dahl. Cullum stands about 5 feet 5 inches; his wife is 6 feet tall. The title track of the album is all about measuring up emotionally and intellectually and how real stature has nothing to do with height at all. Thematically, the disc is far-reaching yet profoundly deep, with songs touching on social media, Brexit and the anxiety inherent in all creative projects. JAZZIZ spoke to Jamie via telephone while he was in London. And like all good Londoners, we pick up the conversation talking about — what else? — the weather. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brian-zimmerman/support

In the early 2000s, Brian Zimmerman and his team at London Zoo received a donation from a private fish-breeder of some Mangarahara cichlids. At the time, scientists hadn’t yet officially described the species. Not much was known about it, other than its provenance, the Mangarahara river in Madagascar. Little did the team know that within a decade they would be putting up a ‘wanted’ poster in a last-ditch attempt to save the species from extinction! In this episode of the Big Questions podcast we visited Brian Zimmerman and Diogo Veríssimo, to ask: Where are all the Mangarahara cichlid hiding?

E.J. and I spoke about his love for music and how this love has to evolve as you grow and change. He also touched on the challenges he faced throughout his career and how those things were integral for him to bring his dreams to life. E.J. is an amazing musician who understands that giving is the key to a success. We also touched on the violence that has plagued the Afro-American from the hands of the "Authorities". Overall this interview gives you a birds-eye view into the mind of E.J. and the heart of the community as a whole. Connect with E.J. here www.ejstricklandmusic.com Bio: Enoch Jamal “E.J.” Strickland is the world-class, world-travelled drummer, composer, educator, and artist you've heard on over 60 albums in the last 10-plus years. The Miami native grew up in a creative household, where his dad was a percussionist in the Ft. Lauderdale Orchestra; his twin brother Marcus played the saxophone; and where E.J. beat on pots, pans, and tables until he finally got his hands on the drums. He was only in middle school, yet E.J. knew then that jazz was his calling. Where does one go as a young jazz musician, serious about the work? New York City, of course. Like so many talented artists before him, E.J. chose the New School to further his jazz education, a course of study that would introduce him to greater technical ability, but really, to the meat of any jazz program: teachers and peers. Reggie Workman. Buster Williams. Billy Harper—just to name a few of the living legend, caring instructors who guided E.J. during his tenure. And the peers? Friends who would spend almost every moment together, growing as young musicians and future leaders of the sound: Mike Moreno, Robert Glasper, Brandon Owens, and Marcus Baylor. Together, they formed a group that would shape their voices, and establish their careers. E.J. quickly graduated into New York's gigging jazz scene, playing early on with Russell Malone and Ravi Coltrane. Both artists proved to be big brother types for E.J., gently guiding him as he established his voice. “Russell really stressed the point that as a drummer, you're supposed to make the music feel good,” he says. “I always try to remember what he instilled in me.” Ravi Coltrane lent a similar kind of open-ended guidance, telling E.J. to simply “find something” in the music. Just what that would be was up to him. Since then, Strickland has built a successful career as a composer, bandleader, educator, and sideman. He's toured, performed, and recorded with some of the greatest names in contemporary music: Cassandra Wilson, Terence Blanchard, Lizz Wright, Wynton Marsalis, George Colligan, David Gilmore, Vincent Herring, and Nnenna Freelon, to name a few.

As a leader, he's released two albums: 2009's In This Day featuring Marcus Strickland, Jaleel Shaw, Luis Perdomo, and Hans Glawischnig in a blend of musical settings. His most recent release, The Undying Spirit “positively glows…its success comes largely from the leader's ability to inspire the best in his fellow musicians,” says Brian Zimmerman, Downbeat Magazine. Nick Bewsey in Icon Magazine calls E.J. “an artist with a clear and sensible vision: that a drummer-led jazz record should give listeners an opportunity to get their groove on.” Variety—of influence and interest—might be the keyword for E.J. in his creative approach. He studied both classical and Latin percussion, working early on with the great Cuban drummer Ignacio Berroa. “Growing up, we listened to all kinds of music in the house,” he says. “Miles, Stevie; just good music.” He's applied his wide-ranging tastes to the artists he plays with today: funk and fusion with pianist Manuel Valera's Groove Square; Latin jazz...
