About 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 photographer Joe Matteson, BISC brings honest, unfiltered conversations that get into the messy, brilliant, and relatable sides of creativity and the stories that shape who we are. This is a space where honesty mixes with the beautifully unhinged parts of creativity, process, struggle, joy, mental health, and everything else we don’t usually say out loud. If you care about creativity, making things, or just figuring yourself out in real time, you’re in the right place. This podcast dives into life, the work we make, and the stories that connect us all. Tune in, press play, subscribe, and share the stories with your friends.
