I Tried To Go On Vacation...

In Episode 38 of Flow State Podcast, Harry returns with a solo episode introducing the world to his alter ego, "Vacation Harry," and reflecting on the importance of rest, balance, and creativity. This episode’s Moments of Flow features Austin Kleon, who shares why there’s no finish line to a creative life, along with a bonus moment of inspiration from David Bowie. In Meet The Team, Cheyne asks Harry how becoming a father has influenced his creativity. Harry also answers fan questions about the relationship between music and memory, finding flow state in the kitchen, and rap’s lasting influence, before reacting to a fan-submitted freestyle and closing the episode with some bars.
