Description

The Big Quest Ion is a deranged audio fever dream where two friends surrender the storytelling reins to AI and go galloping confidently into a fantasy cluster bang of epic proportions. This is a podcast where narrative whiplash is a feature, not a bug. What is AI’s impact on entertainment? Can AI write meaningful stories? Did two friends from different countries really need to start a whole podcast as an excuse just to hang out?

The Big Quest Ion is “Lord of the Rings” if Frodo ate ALL the mushrooms on the way to Mordor and map was AI generated. There’s no plan. No mercy. No going back. Just chaos, comedy, characters, and the relentless pursuit of answers to life’s great quest… ions. “Who are we?” Why are we?” “Did I take bath salts or am I just listening to “The Big Quest Ion?” We donno man, maybe both?

Buckle your britches and tune in for equal parts epic fantasy, parody, and existential experiment, as we embark on a satirical journey to uncover what makes a good story, what even IS art anyway, and everything in between on THE BIG QUEST ION!

Due to their mishandling of The Night of Hallow Veils case, Brondheim and Higgins have been placed on administrative leave and dispatched to the Caribbean for some undeserved R&R. But fate isn't finished with them yet! In a sleepy port village on Prince Rupert Bay, a sinister plot is unfolding. One of murder! One of mayhem! One of... magic? It seems that not even the cerulean waters of Dominica can keep Brondheim (and a reluctant Higgins) away from solving yet another spooky crime... A ghostly bell? A murdered sailor? A CLIFFSIDE BDSM DUNGEON??
