This week on no bad ideas: cops, donuts, IKEA, hide-and-seek, and special guest star Rebecca Seidel! 

While Zach's away, Gabriel and Sarah get to play with Rebecca, audio producer extraordinaire at Marvel. Together, they turn the story of an ill-advised wager with the police into a twisted tale of a small town terrorized by an all-powerful performance artist troll. Then, IKEA's firm stance on people not playing hide-and-seek in their stores gets reworked into a harrowing graphic novel of psychological terror and survival in the face of truly unsettling odds. 

Plus, creepy Stephen King books, ice cream truck jingles, police pranks, and other misdemeanors.

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.
