We rolled a natural 20 on guests this week, as we’re joined by the DM of The Last Refuge podcast, Eugenio Vargas!

And we certainly could use Eugenio’s help with the two massive gaffs from across the Pond we’re dealing with. First, Zach brings us the strangest tutoring service we’ve ever heard of, which we turn into a dark comedy of mentoring a tiny dictator. Then, Gabriel brings us a thief with one of the largest rap sheets in Ireland, and we use it to craft a tv show about intrepid characters who are bad at crime, but surprisingly good at criminal law.

Plus: Disneyworld rules, the Armando Iannucci filter, two full years worth of theft, the Penguin’s intern, and the childlike wonder of Venom.

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.
