Gotta Be the Bear (With Christopher Dole)

Today on No Bad Ideas: it's special guest star Christopher Dole, co-creator of Arden! Also bear fighting, incompetent criminals, and a conversation about creating content while the world is upside down!

In our first story, the gang takes Sarah's story about a man who (unsuccessfully) tries to fight a bear and turns it into a film about a has-been wrestler who tries to jump start his career by... yep, you guessed it! Then, Zach brings us the story of a scam based around getting young children addicted to gambling through apps that masquerade as kids' games. The squad does their best to figure out how to turn this into a film about the criminal screw-ups who accidentally find themselves in the middle of a digital goldmine. Finally, we have a conversation with Christopher about how he got mixed up in the podcasting racket, how Arden strikes it's one-of-a-kind balance, and how he finds the show's rhythm and musicality as Arden's editor! 

All of that, plus: the stupidest case in the department, therapy being the moral of the story, disturbances in multiple parks, Don Corleone's daughter's wedding, and games with animated poop emojis.
