Brainstorm For Audio Comedy Show

Here's a train of thought type post of what to do for the radio show.

Major source of inspiration: Spock vs Q

noteworthy points:
   clearly different and defined characters.
      *chaotic vs logical, asshole vs polite, jokes vs straightman, etc
   small cast
   Simple plot, basically just talking out differences of opinion, but complex humor and rapid delivery
   short and sweet, to the point.
   both characters 'win' in the verbal battles (other than the conclusion)

So, taking from that, and adding on the concept of making a personality and my theatre studies, here goes some pitches

Idea 1: One series with a consistent plot and consistent characters, medium 3-6 cast, overarching story and progression

Idea 2: One series, same as above but a series of Duos with characters, no overarching plot

Idea 3: consistent characters, but more or less random events. like spock vs q: they're established characters, but in one they're on a stage playing verbal games, the next they're on an asteroid bitching at each other and going crazy. just things that happen. another example could be something like ruby gloom: just stuff that happens, with consistent people. maybe the vaguest of plots overarching like "they work together" or "they live in the same town"

Idea 4: Completely random, every episode is new characters and new events. this is fun and allows for variety, but requires set-up every episode to introduce the new characters.

So far, as of this writing, I'm leaning most towards 3. it allows for a huge variety of scripts, but also memorable consistent characters for people to stick with and relate to.

Length?
10 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, I think are the realistic versions. 10 minutes in theory allows for a whole bunch of little epsides, and its easier to share. 30 is a happy medium, and 60 is like a proper 1-act play.

as of this writing, I'm leaning towards option 3, with 10 minute episodes produced en masse. Allows for lots of exposure, and works well with my horrible ADD and our wonky schedules.
