Today on No Bad Ideas, special guest star Meghan Fitzmartin returns to help us tackle another bad idea!

Sarah brings us a story of one person's telecommunication identity mix-up, one with possibly very far-reaching implications. The team does their best to come up with a story that balances great responsibility in the face of great power and taking the privileged around you for all their worth. Then, we have a conversation with Meghan about her approach to writing and creativity, as well as the recurring themes that pop up in our work over and over and over again.

All of that, plus: wholesome creatures, raised eyebrows, recurring thematic worries, extreme versions of reality, and the challenge of proving a negative.

The No Bad Ideas Podcast is the creation of Gabriel Urbina, Sarah Shachat, and Zach Valenti, three writer and artist-types who, in order to stay fresh creatively, have an excuse to hang out with each other once a week, and check in on what they're working on, take a terrible idea they found on the Internet each week and turn it into a compelling narrative. Or as close as they can get in 30 minutes.

If you're someone trying to be creative yourself or even if you just appreciate a good story, you'll enjoy listening to Zach, Sarah, and Gabriel figure out how to make sense of the best (or worst?) absurdities the internet has to offer. We guarantee there have definitely been worse ideas.
