Wouldn't you know I forgot a few ideas altogether? I'll put them here instead of dropping them in the next newsletter, because that one's going to big packed full enough of *other* ideas.
1) A podcast called "Third Shift". A lone voice, the security supervisor on a massive space station along a well-traveled corridor where many species, human and alien, come together. The show consists wholly of announcements made over the stations public communications system. The supervisor fancies himself a very old-school DJ.
2) A podcast called "The Mystery of the Blue Dog", like "Tanis" but with less awkward interviews. The narrator is digging into one of the oldest legends we have in the United States, the legend of the Blue Dog. What she finds is far, far more than anything she could have anticipated. Mostly true history, with some fictional menace and possibly deep horror.
3) The last one I call: "Watership Down", but in space. We follow a small band of animals, who have gained human-like intelligence, on a vast Ark Ship traveling through space that has sustained some sort of catastrophic, but not fatal, damage. Humans are relegated to smaller portions of the ship and we rarely encounter them. The rest of the ship is the realm of the animals (and other...things) that have thrived and mutated and thrived some more after The Impact. I think we'll mostly follow rabbits, but there will be mice and cattle and predatory birds and odd alien species. None of the animals know they are on a ship, though. They have yet to learn that and might never.

OH MY GOSH PLEASE MAKE ALL OF THESE
So this is your idea of "not inspirational," huh? Well now I want to go make a list of my own. <hmph> Not inspirational, indeed...
I actually reaaally like these ideas. And the idea of an idea post. Especially the detective & scarecrow ideas! 👀
OH MY GOSH YES!!! Esp. re: Detective Cotler 👀👀👀 ... I live for that stuff.
