Hey story fans!

Welcome to Almost Plausible, 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.

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.

It's fun, funny, and it all happens in under an hour.

The show is free, and new episodes drop every other Tuesday. You can subscribe wherever you regularly listen to podcasts, such as: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or directly via our RSS feed.
