I loved High Maintenance. Can I say that, or will it demonstrate an unhelpful bias? It had a cameo from my second-least-favourite host of my third-favourite podcast and that I can get behind. It isn’t relevant but I’m here for it.

From a transmedia point of view, I think it has a lot of potential. The character vignettes are so wonderfully painted to give the audience a wealth of knowledge about them without saying very much at all.

The first jumping off point in my mind — and the most hilarious — is the Qasim guru. There’s a wealth of opportunity for bizarre, green-screened and Papyrus’d pep talks. Unlock your cosmic potential. It’s all there. However, it does lean towards a similar format to High Maintenance. Different, but clicking over to an associated video through Vimeo feels a little lame on its own.

Since so many of the guy’s clientele seem to be so glib, there’s got to be potential for a chatty, vapid podcast in there somewhere. The trails of hosting for AirBnb, for example.

I’d also be curious to see a fashion blog curated by the assholes.

The guy’s a character we never get to see much of, but I think part of the charm of High Maintenance is his anonymity. It would be fascinating to explore his private world, but on the other hand it would spoil a lot of the charm of this universe.

There seems like so much accidental crossover already (the reappearance of thoroughly delightful asexual magician, for example) that further connections could be revealed through various mediums. Maybe Heidi shows us how to create the perfect capsule wardrobe on the blog, or the couple with the terrible guest discuss that on the AirBnb podcast (they weren’t even paid for it!).
