Giving Imaginary Advice

If you’ve ever searched for my podcast, you probably came across a show with a similar title: Imaginary Advice. I quickly became a fan of Imaginary Advice because the host Ross Sutherland walks the line between fiction and reality, often playing a fictional version of himself doing slightly fantastical things. I talked with Ross about his creative process, and we hear an edited selection of his mini-series Ten Thousand Years, where he and writer Lenni Sanders imagine what if the happy ending from Groundhog Day had not been a game changer for Billy Murray’s character Phil Connors. What if it was just another day, and the days piled up for thousands of years? The episodes of Imaginary Advice we discussed are: https://soundcloud.com/ross-sutherland/45-seinfeld https://soundcloud.com/ross-sutherland/63-tony-gang-flame-war-5th-birthday-episode https://soundcloud.com/ross-sutherland/52-the-man-who-saw-tomorrow-4th-birthday-episode https://soundcloud.com/ross-sutherland/70-sex-and-the-city-the-return-part-1 https://soundcloud.com/ross-sutherland/71-sex-and-the-city-the-return-part-2 https://soundcloud.com/ross-sutherland/73-ten-thousand-years-part-2 This episode is sponsored by Skillshare and BetterHelp.
