Jake is a smarter-than-average domesticated turkey living on a poultry farm. He has it all: Food, security, and a girlfriend. But when he escapes from his pen, gets lost in the woods, and meets a flock of wild turkeys, he is introduced to a way of life and a world he never knew existed. The wild turkeys help Jake get home to the farm, but now that he’s had a taste of freedom, will he stay?

The Plot of the Show

Almost Plausible is a podcast where three friends make up stories, usually in the form of a movie plot, where something unexpected takes a central or critical role in the story. For example, how would you make a movie about a pillow? Or a ceiling fan? Or a toilet brush? That’s exactly what we try to figure out on the show!

Each episode starts with a brief pitch session, where we take turns sharing the ideas we’ve come up with for each episode’s topic. After we’ve heard all the pitches, we pick one, develop it, and hopefully come up with a story that’s at least almost plausible.

It's fun, funny, and it all happens in under an hour.

Not sure where start? The good news is that Almost Plausible isn't one of those shows where you have to start from Episode 1; you can choose any of our episodes and dive right in! Here are some of our favorites:

Year One Infographic

We released the first episode of Almost Plausible on February 1, 2022, so when our first full year concluded a couple of months ago, we took a look back at the analytics we gathered during that time.

Our first year exceeded our expectations, and we found the story told by the data to be an interesting one. So much so, that we wanted to share it with you in the form of an infographic.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. My go-to podcast! Worth every enjoyable second to listen!

In a dystopian future, overpopulation is a constant threat. In an attempt to avert disaster, the government periodically culls the population through challenges delivered to citizens via special watches. After one such limiting event, a couple decides it would be safe to have a baby—only to learn of a sudden, new limiting event. They join a group of rebels, which leads them on an adventure they could never have predicted.

Pumpkin

24 October 2023

Despite the dark and the cold, Shep and Thomas join Emily in a pumpkin patch at night to surreptitiously tell each other spooky stories about pumpkins. There may not be a campfire, but there are snacks, blankets, and pumpkin spice lattes. There are even hay bales to sit on! Or are they straw bales? Either way, at least the trio aren’t in the woods this time, which means they should be safe, right?
