We are thrilled this week to be joined by one of our favorite audio drama creators, the wonderfully generous and incredibly talented Lisette Alvarez! 

We first tackle a story that could only have happened in 2020, but turn it into a gangster film of power, ambition, and double-crosses (and protein powder) that’s a tale as old as time. Then, we merge a punishing test of endurance and politics, and end up setting the most unconventional election in the universe… on the moon.

Plus: The 94th Amendment, the return of the effete intellectual, a reanimated Sylvester Stallone, a rival Soul Cycle gang, and Brad Pitt.

Today’s Bad Ideas™:

Idea #1

Idea #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.
