Almost Plausible is a podcast where three friends make up stories, usually in the form of a movie plot, where something unexpected takes a central or critical role in the story. For example, how would you make a movie about a pillow? Or a ceiling fan? Or a toilet brush? That’s exactly what we try to figure out on the show!

Each episode starts with a brief pitch session, where we take turns sharing the ideas we’ve come up with for each episode’s topic. After we’ve heard all the pitches, we pick one, develop it, and hopefully come up with a story that’s at least almost plausible.

Disclaimer: This is my own podcast.

Valley Heat - a podcast from a freelance insurance adjuster about the goings on in his neighborhood. The primary story focuses on his mission to find out who is using his recycling bin as a drug drop.

It sounds boring but it's absolutely brilliant.

The less you know about it going in the better.

He also has a couple Patreon exclusives that go deeper into the hijinks.

Malevolent!

Plot summary:

Arkham Private Investigator Arthur Lester wakes up with no memory of who he is or what has happened, only a nameless, eerie voice guiding him through the darkness.

Blind, terrified, and confused, his journey will lead him towards a series of mysteries in the hopes of understanding the truth of what has transpired.

As cosmic horrors seep into the world around, Arthur must ask himself whether this entity truly seeks to help him, or are its intentions more…

Malevolent

It uses the podcast medium so well with the main character being blind and the resulting dialogue between him and the voice in his head that he needs to see the world around him, like the listener, and in general is incredibly well written. Harlan Guthrie is a genius.
