Today on No Bad Ideas: dinosaurs, black market dealings, and special guest star Jared J. Smith, writer, director, and producer of The Phenomenon! 

In our first bad idea du jour, Gabriel takes the team to a prehistoric race of preposterous proportions that only gets sillier and sillier once they sinks their fangs into it. Then, Zach takes us into the dark corners of the web and to the "Craigslist of Guns." It's a story so sad that the squad just has to go for the nuclear option and descend into full-blown absurdity.

All of that, plus: shadowy headquarters of the criminal underworld, accidental developments of warfare, Radimir Vutin, and some really misleading movie trailers.

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.
