• How can you prevent slugs from eating your prize cabbages?
    Aug 28 2023

    Slugs.
    The worst of all the garden creatures.
    Slimy. Slithery. Leaving gross trails all over the place. Ugh.
    This week Corinne has written to us to ask whether we could start up a business to deal with these pests.
    And honestly our business proposals couldn't be more politically different.

    Thanks Corinne.

  • Metal Detecting 2.0
    Aug 14 2023

    Metal detecting is such a mixed bag. Finding cool stuff is undoubtedly amazing but having to dig things up all the time is not only a drag it's also inaccessible.
    Listener Kat has messaged us this week to ask whether we could dream up a business that brings metal detecting to more of the population while also making the boring bits well... less boring.

    Thanks so much Kat!

  • How to Stop Jet Lag
    Jul 24 2023

    Andrew done goofed today and accidentally recorded the whole episode without turning his nice mic on. He is very sorry about this - please forgive him

    Aside from just having to live through it, jet lag is something that no one has a solution to. Setting your watch as you get on the plane or rubbing your feet on the carpet, just don't work. Andrew's new app to send a herald in your place and Alex's plane replacement aim to fix that.

    Thank you to our mystery listener for sending in such a high-altitude problem. If you have a problem (not related to the flow of time) you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com

  • How to Find Your Glasses
    Jul 10 2023

    Losing your glasses robs you of the thing you really need to find your glasses - your ability to see. So far, even after thousands of years of glasses development, there is no solution to this problem. Can Andrew and Alex pitch a business that will change that?

  • How to Cure Hayfever
    Jun 26 2023

    Hayfever sucks. It's nothing like nightfever or that fever that you can only cure with more cowbell. It just stinks. You feel terrible but you're not actually ill and you don't have an actual fever and nobody really feels that sorry for you. It's the worst.

    After an email from a very sniffly listener, Alex and Andrew decided to tackle this problem head on. Have a listen and see whether shrink wrapping yourself or moving to Arrakis or one of the many, many other innovative ideas our creative duo kick out Is your favourite.

    Thank you Sam for sending in such a sneeze-inducing problem. If you have a problem (not related to hayfever) you want us to solve with an innovative business then please drop us a line at brainsontheoutside@gmail.com
