Today on No Bad Ideas: priests! Exorcism! Cooperation! People getting fired! And more! Sarah brings us a story about how demand for exorcisms are going through the roof! The gang turns it into a film about how an overworked set of priests reaches out to the leaders of other religions to help them meet a small town's hunger for exorcism. Then, Zach brings us the tale of a company that is trying to automate and outsource other company's firing needs. The squad spends some time coming up with the 2022 remake and update for 2009's Up in the Air.  Plus: harried montages, the Powers-That-Be, the A-Men, arthouse plays, and being-laid-off consultants.  Today's Bad Ideas™:  <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/catholica-exorcists-say-they-are-overloaded-possessed-people-1712382">Idea #1</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2022/07/26/1113044764/want-to-lay-off-workers-more-smoothly-theres-a-startup-for-that">Idea #2</a><a href="http://patreon.com/NoBadIdeas" rel="payment">Support the show: http://patreon.com/NoBadIdeas</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Hemmingway Camp, The Finishing School That Will Finish You (With Chris Dole)

The No Bad Ideas Podcast is the creation of Gabriel Urbina, Sarah Shachat, and Zach Valenti, three writer and artist-types who, in order to stay fresh creatively, have an excuse to hang out with each other once a week, and check in on what they're working on, take a terrible idea they found on the Internet each week and turn it into a compelling narrative. Or as close as they can get in 30 minutes. If you're someone trying to be creative yourself or even if you just appreciate a good story, you'll enjoy listening to Zach, Sarah, and Gabriel figure out how to make sense of the best (or worst?) absurdities the internet has to offer. We guarantee there have definitely been worse ideas.
