Welcome to the No Good Options… Podcast, where the choices are bad and the logic is questionable.
Each episode, we dive into different “Would You Rather”, “If You Could” and “What If” scenarios. No scripts. No prep. Just three people talking our way through impossible situations.
Some scenarios are ridiculous. Some are dark. Some are genuinely concerning. All of them make you think.
