Bad Idea Social Club
Bad Idea Social Club is an independent podcast of stories, insights, and creative foolery. Hosted by graphic designer Aaron McCall, with Amber Gray and Joe Matteson, BISC brings honest, unfiltered conversations that get into the messy, brilliant, and relatable sides of creativity and the stories that shape who we are. This is a space where honesty mixes with the beautifully unhinged parts of creativity, process, struggle, joy, mental health, and everything else we don’t usually say out loud. If you care about creativity, making things, or just figuring yourself out in real time, you’re in the right place. This podcast dives into life, the work we make, and the stories that connect us all. Tune in, press play, subscribe, and share the stories with your friends.

Colin Russell: Oops, All Murals
Colin Russell (artist, muralist, Ghost Town) talks with Aaron McCall about moving from years in coffee to a life in art, stumbling into murals, and building a world in black and white. His work is bold, playful, and unsettling all at once—creepy cartoons that have made their way from Grand Rapids to Japan. Colin opens up about freelancing, anxiety, and what happens when the thing that used to be your outlet becomes the thing you depend on.
