Synopsis
Ever had an idea? Ever been told it is terrible, but not why? On Wild Pitches we dig into those bad ideas and see if we can pull out something that has some legs.The ideas we come up with are free for you, our listeners, to build out, as we do not have the time, money nor energy to do so. All that we ask is that you come back and tell us *how* you did it and...let us try it out. We are also amenable to monuments in our honor.
