Hello. We’re “Imagination & Junk.” Nice to meet you.

Welcome to a new podcast about creativity, because when we heard that there were literally two million podcasts listed in the Apple directory, we thought: “You know, what the world really needs is two million and one podcasts.” That is, if the “one” is this one.

We’re Bill Barol and Mat Ricardo, and you can learn more about us on our About page. We’ll have lots more to say in the weeks to come, but for now: We have six episodes of the show ready for you, and they’re sharp and funny and thought-provoking. They twist and turn. They take unexpected digressions but they always come back because look, WE ARE PROFESSIONALS.

So we hope you like the show, and we hope you tell your friends. Above all, we hope you subscribe, because algorithms run the world and we’ve worked hard on this since January, on two different continents, and we want the algorithms to like us. You could start here.

Oh, by the way: That’s Thomas Edison up there. He was a solid inventor and a peerless self-promoter (just ask Nikola Tesla about that), and he authored the quote that gives us our name: To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.

We’re glad you found us. Stay tuned. It’s going to be fun. /BB
