Today (and all this week, lucky us!) we’re joined by a fantastic podcast producer, writer, and improviser: the mighty Sean Howard!

We enlist Sean’s help first for a whale of a tale (or at least a Bass Pro Shop of a tale)  and turn it into a fantastic alternate universe story fending off boredom while being trapped in one place.

Plus: The Florida Man VHS Collection, handsome eyebrows guy, fishy tooth aches, a very gory children’s book, and Lebron James as a moral compass.

Today’s Bad Ideas™:

Idea #1

Idea #2

If you’d like to check out more of Sean’s work, you can listen to Civilized, Alba Salix: Royal Physician, and the many fine podcasts on the Fable & Folly network! You can also find him on Twitter.

Content Warning: The second story in today’s episode contains discussion of suicide. End the episode at 20:30 if you’d like to avoid it.

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.
