Bad Idea Social Club
Bad Idea Social Club is an independent podcast of stories, insights, and creative foolery. Hosted by graphic designer Aaron McCall, with Joe Matteson and Amber Gray, BISC brings honest, unfiltered conversations that celebrate the messy, brilliant, and relatable sides of creativity, the creative process, and the stories that shape who we are. This is a space where humor and heart collide—where the creative process, personal struggles and growth, moments of joy, and mental health are all part of the story. Whether you’re an artist, a storyteller, a creative enthusiast, or just trying to make sense of the chaos, this podcast dives into life, creativity, and the stories that connect us all. Tune in—press play, subscribe, and share the stories with your friends.
