  • Ep 6 - Magic Mike's Fight Club
    2022/07/26

    Comedy take on the alternate history idea asking "What if all conflict was solved through Dance?"

    In a world where there is no physical violence and all conflicts and arguments are settled through the medium of dance, what dance reigns supreme? Join your hosts Alex, Elle and Ben as they delve into dances, dictators and Dougie. 

    Which dance style ranks the most powerful? Which is the most intimidating and would you be afraid of a sole line dancer? How would you solve your office disagreements and who would lead the world? 


    The Other Option is an irreverent comedy podcast about idiotic alternate history, looking at the lighter side of what if. Minimum research, maximum chaos is the order of the day. 

    Get involved by sending your suggestions, arguments and opinions. Being sound and sharing with a friend is also highly appreciated!

  • Ep 5.1 - Batsurance
    2022/07/16

    Comedy look at what kind of mundane shit Batman has to go through when he's not fighting the likes of The Joker or Penguin. 

    Who looks after the Batmobile's insurance? What happens when the people of Gotham get used to having Batman around day in and day out? What kind of grunt work does Batman do on his normal Mon - Fri 40 hour work week? 

    Join your hosts Alex, Ben & Elle as we kick off a mini series on the other side of the lives of Superheroes, Villains and other characters. Like, does Spiderman struggle with sticky toilet paper? Or how many cups does Superman accidently destroy on mornings he's not focused? Or how does a giant cybernetic suit cause an inconvenience? 

    If you like what you hear, please share with a friend and get involved with your own suggestions! We'd love to hear from you.

    2022/06/28

    BONUS EPISODE - As part of last week's show, we dipped into superpowers, super villains and the ones we'd choose and why. 

    No chance you'll guess what Ben chooses as his super power and does Elle have an allergy? You decide and let us know!

    Also, imagine what the most mundane parts of Heroes' lives look like. That will be coming soon on the Other Option as a feature length episode. 

    Stay tuned for future episodes and give us a follow on the auld socials. Other Option suggestions also welcome!

  • Ep 4 - Spatula Joystick
    2022/06/17

    In a special episode - Elle, Ben & Alex try something a little different in a nod to the crew from IASIP. 

    Three quick shots of Whiskey and then a free form dive into augments, body modifications and peak performance; in the usual Other Option kind of madness! 


    Join your hosts on this adventure through hands, feet and surnames in this alternate look at human development. What if instead of humans adapting machines to do jobs better, they adapted themselves instead? 

    What are the best additions? What would industry look like? How would we travel? 


    Bonus points to any listeners who share some drawings with us on Instagram this week. You'll know which ones Ben wants to see! 


    Follow us on all the major platforms and get in touch if you have any suggestions, likes or comments on the show!

  • Ep 3 - Gilded Gizzard Stones
    2022/03/15

    What if we had no teeth? What if humans evolved with no chompers? How would we adapt? What would food look like, or dating? 

    In this episode, Alex learns that dogs do in fact have teeth, Ben talks about his pineapple shaped adventures and Elle laments pigs' earthly chains. 

    Join us for a weird and whacky look at a world with teeth and let us know what you'd decorate your face with!


    And get involved... follow us on the socials @otheroptionpod and let us know what kind of teeth related oddities you know. Or if you have any suggestions for future topics to cover - drop us a message!

    2022/02/27

    What if Humans were nocturnal? 

    What if, like Bane, we were born into the dark and molded by it? Join your hosts Ben, Elle and Alex as we talk dragons, floppy bones and passive aggressive forest emails.  

    We take a silly look at what life could have been like if we all grew up in the dark and lived by the Night. Also, Elle discovers her new favourite animal. #bonefingers
