The Other Option

By: Ben Elle & Alex
  • Summary

  • Comedy alternate history podcast brought to you by three experts in absolutely nothing. It's a silly look at the most random scenarios we can think of and usually devolves into some lighthearted rabbit holes. Think less "What if this war didn't happen?" and more "What is humans glowed in the dark?" or "What if ghosts had day jobs?". Minimal research, maximum chaos. New episodes dropping irregularly and feel free to send us suggestions to @otheroptionpod on IG or otheroptionpod@gmail.com Thanks! Alex, Ben & Elle

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

    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
    Jul 16 2022

    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.

    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!
