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!  

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.

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?

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!

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.
