Episode 211: Brainstorming (or How We Keep Coming Up With This Stuff)

Ever wondered how Ish and Sacha keep cranking out podcast ideas after 210+ episodes? In this meta-episode, they pull back the curtain on their creative process while simultaneously demonstrating it live! From random observations to full-fledged show concepts, discover the art of turning everyday moments into content gold.

Main Topics

  • The Brainstorm Behind the Scenes -- Peek into Ish and Sacha's actual ideation process as they riff on recent experiences (including Ish's adventurous eating in Japan and Sacha's miserable Easter illness)
  • Yes, AND...Not BUT -- Why the rules of improv comedy make for better brainstorming and how saying "yes, and" instead of "no, but" can transform your team's creative output
  • Ditch the Facilitator? -- A potentially revolutionary idea: what if AI handled the facilitation so everyone could fully participate in the brainstorm? (Or as Sacha puts it: "Can we just be in the room and give some ideas?")

P.S.: Ish survived eating mysterious "parts" of unknown creatures in Japan (including Achilles' tendons!), while Sacha recommends "Women Talking About Cars" on Audible for your next listen. And yes, we got more proof of Kyla's encounter with Ralph Macchio!
