Happy Monday! We’re delighted to declare this Wil Williams week, as one of our favorite audio drama creators and critics joins us to tackle a couple legendary ideas. 

We start in Texas, where a neighborhood disturbance turns into an E.T. situation by way of a battery of literal cannons. Then we pop over to a remote mining town in California, where a man’s unique lockdown situation has taken on a ghostly, haunted aspect. Obviously, we make it a sitcom. 

Plus: Mandatory found families, pulling a Schitt’s Creek, Jack London schooling Walt Whitman, the greatest cannon show anyone has ever seen, and the eternal enemy, Capitalism. 

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.
