This week we’re delighted to be joined by co-creator of the fabulous Arden podcast and official Very Funny Person, Sara Ghaleb!

We begin with a road trip for the ages (specifically the ages of 5-13) and turn it into a heartwarming, if slightly Freaky Friday, family drama. Then we embark on our first two part bad idea - a tale of tension between two countries, and the pigeon caught between them. Naturally, we turn it into the teen romance Armando Iannucci doesn’t know he needs to make.   

Plus: Digital detox, the whisper network, the best codebreakers in the world, the problem with Fast Five, and reasons we’re done with birds. 

Today’s Bad Ideas™:

Idea #1

Idea #2, Part #1

Idea #2, Part #2

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.

No Bad Ideas

The creators of Wolf 359 talk about the unceasing rollercoaster ride of pursuing creative careers in a time... that is now. In a world... that is this one. In a podcast... that you should totally subscribe and listen to.
