He’s so entertaining no matter the music or program!
I've just seen this comment on Bluesky about the music for Jason's free skate this season: "The quiet simple music suits Jason's skating so much. When a jeweler shows you a precious diamond, they don't put it on a plaid background. They put it on a plain piece of velvet and let the diamond's beauty speak for itself."

A beautiful appreciation of Spiegel im Spiegel Phil Hersh on Jason: (for those of us who remember when Phil was all about the quads, quite a turnaround) 
Working with that limited musical palette required restraint and delicacy.... It also asked Brown to skate with constant flow and as close as he could to one speed throughout the four minutes, no mean feat when also needing to gather the body’s power for seven jumping passes.
Brown pulled that off wonderfully, even with a glitch on one jump at the World Team Trophy. His gestures were intimate and unembellished. His flow was unbroken, even in executing a cartwheel, when he pushed off while landing that element.
....
I have now watched it once live in the arena and a dozen other times on video, and each time it is more captivating.
It is also proof that in even the era of the quadg0d, an athletic marvel who is pushing the sport seemingly beyond the limits of gravity, Brown and Malinin can both be the apotheosis of figure skating.

A season of tragedy and triumph for U.S. figure skaters — Globetrotting by Philip Hersh
The figure skating season that ended nine days ago at the World Team Trophy in Japan was one of overwhelming tragedy and historic triumph for Team USA. The tragedy happened Jan. 27, when 28 members of the U.S. figure skating family were among the 67 people who died in a crash between their plane an

I have hesitated to say this, but I'm curious how the rest of you feel - EVERY time I have seen this program I have loved every second of it except the cartwheel. I really, really wish they would take it out.

We are a safe space for comments born of affection.
I have heard others say that they find a cartwheel for such a somber piece disconcerting. For me personally, no, but maybe because I don't know enough about the dance lexicon to find it joyful (which would be disconcerting)

It is a bit jarring, but there may have been competitive reasons for putting it in. He does it seamlessly. But when competing, sometimes extra features need to be added for levels or GOEs and that might have been the reason for it. It's a very challenging piece to use exclusively for a freeskate. The fact that it doesn't change tempo and that it's so lyrical. But the way he skates it brings it alive in an amazing way. I'm excited to see what he and Ro come up with this year. Everyone is going to be gunning for him on PCs and GOEs. He's actually got to top himself, and I bet he will!

Funny - I started this whole conversation - but I watched the worlds performance again this AM and it bothered me less. It's amazing how he does it between spins - and as someone else said - it is probably about levels.

Is it an exit from a spin? If so they may have put it in as a feature to get a level 4? If not, no ideas…

I think it is for that reason. It's in between spins.Is it an exit from a spin? If so they may have put it in as a feature to get a level 4? If not, no ideas…

That would be my guess also. He's not going to do those dumb looking heel lifts to get a level 4 and he wants a high GOE. Going from a spin into a cartwheel into a spin is high level. Spin/cartwheel/spin makes sense to me. As for how it interprets the music, the judges seem to like it. It's a very subdued and artistic cartwheel.
Jason did a Q&A for his fans at the SOI show in Osaka, Japan.
He compared the experience at the 2025 Boston Worlds to that of the 2014 US Nationals (held at the same venue), discussed his decision to skate to River Dance again, talked about the equipment problem, his plans for next season's programs and summer shows.
There was a cute little happening during filming this Q and A, so you must watch it！

On the occasion of the International Family Day, Jason Brown has posted memories of his visit of the Ronald McDonald's House in Sendai in March (he went to Sendai for Notte Stellata), and recalled their action in the aftermath of the Great Eastern Earthquake fourteen years before:

More people are living to 100 years old and longer, we take a closer look at this trend. Plus, Garden Guy Dale K gives us some tips on plants to add to keep the deer away. And it's the season of summer blockbusters and we take a look of a few that might be worth a trip to the movies!
