Do Robots Need Glory? (With Leslie Gideon)

Today we have the pleasure of sharing some very silly ideas with one of our favorite folks in podcasting:  thoughtful writer, voice actor extraordinaire, and sometimes-business person, the great Leslie Gideon!  The silliness starts with Sarah bringing us Disney’s newest, er, immersive experience and the gang turning that into a thriller for the ages, exploring the conflict between freedom and safety, and the choices that one family makes as a utopia falls apart. Then Zach shares one of the driving world’s most frivolous record attempts, and we take that, add an AI-driven car, and maybe create a sci-fi reboot of How To Train Your Dragon?  Finally, we get a chance to talk to Leslie about the differences between writing for pleasure and writing for pay, finding the balance between separating ideas out to be passion projects vs. to be sold, how plans to build a resume can aren’t something you can necessarily time, and more.  Plus: the friends we made along the way, background street-sweeper #24, real “Witness Me” energy, draft #2 questions, and the slow reverbed edgy version of “It’s A Small World”  Listen to The Path Down and Leslie’s soccer history podcast Sideline Tackle, and learn more about Leslie’s work by checking out her website and following her on Twitter.  Today’s Bad Ideas™Idea #1 Idea #2Support the show: http://patreon.com/NoBadIdeasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
