Welcome to Brains on the Outside, a show about ridiculous business ideas! Every Monday, Alex and Andrew are joined by guests (and sometimes you!) to help them pitch fun, fantastical and wholesome businesses to make their ordinary lives more extraordinary!

    How can you prevent slugs from eating your prize cabbages?

    How can you prevent slugs from eating your prize cabbages?

    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

    Metal Detecting 2.0

    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!

    The Future of Two Factor Authentication

    The Future of Two Factor Authentication

    Two factor authentication? 
    More like EW factor authentication. 
    Nobody likes all the hoops you have to jump through in order to log into your bank, your email, your social network of choice or the Warhammer website these days and this week our listener and long time friend of the show, Elliott, has asked us to solve this problem once and for all.  

    Thanks so much Elliott!

    How to Stop Jet Lag

    How to Stop Jet Lag

    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

    Keep your Brains on the Outside (and don't forget top use your nice mic)! xoxo

    How to Find Your Glasses

    How to Find Your Glasses

    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?

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