Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! We are so excited to have you all here to help us close out Season 2. Today Brownie gets the conversation going by asking the group a huge question about art.

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! Lizette starts things off today by asking the group when they all feel most like their true selves.

Jake then pitches a way to reshape the Manic-Pixie-Dr…

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! Bryce gets things started today by sharing a meaningful moment he experienced with a stranger at a museum, which leads to him asking: if someone took a candid picture of you admiring, contemplating and/or interacting with something that you love, what would that thing be? After listening in, be sure to check out our a…

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! Raven gets things started today by asking the gang if they enjoy the sound of their own voices.

First, a “lit” idea that, if it ever became a reality, could make a lot of scents. S…

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! As promised from our last episode, Brownie starts everything off today with an inspirational, often misinterpreted quote from our dreamy friend Cobb.

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! Today Raven starts it off by asking the group if we have any family traits that we’re not crazy about that we’ve managed to break free from.

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! On today’s episode, Jake gets us started with a question about “pleasure delaying.” Are you the type of person who puts off experiencing something in order to keep it from ending? How can that affect how you consume television? Or films? Or books? Or candy bars? Well, get ready to find out the answers to all these que…

Welcome to today’s episode of Ain’t That a Pitch! Starting it all off, Raven asks us all a question that is so Raven that "That’s So Raven" should be ashamed for not thinking of something that is so Raven.

Hello and welcome to Season Two of ATAP! We’re so happy to be back with new pitches, new sound effects, and very little progress to report. Please forgive how Raven sounds in this episode – after two years in you’d think we’d have recording quality on lockdown but turns out we’re still learning how to adapt when we’re on the road. In this kickoff e…

It’s our Season One finale -- we can't believe it either! ATAPers reflect on the feedback we’ve been getting from you (our beloved listeners), how grateful we are for it, and how much some of it hurts our delicate little egos. To close out the season we decided to do a lightning round of pitches from each one of us. Jake pitches a game show that wa…

*BONUS * Yes, we know the sound quality is bad, but the ideas were too good not to share. In what we thought would be the inaugural episode of ATAP, Brownie, for the first time (once again), sets a high bar with three very different ideas: an “interactive” “dining” “experience”, a voyeuristic theatre piece set in the middle of the road (or is it an…

While the gang gets (a little) serious about what they’d do if they had only one day left to live, Doogan The Dog confirms with a squeak that it is he who Lizette loves the most. Then, the birds sing along as Jake pitches a support system for Educators AKA the “dope ass Americans who are helping make our country better” ™. Wrapping it all up are so…

Jake breaks down the reasons why the members of the Writers Guild of America had no choice but to go on strike, again!

The team counsels Mike on how to deal with his frustration over having to clean up after people in public restrooms.

Travel back with us to a time before we had a theme song and we wondered what you do when asked "What do you do?" DISCLAIMER: we do not mean to make fun of people who eat magnets but maybe don't do that and get some help, it's very dangerous. Brownie loves a hat trick! First up is a mysterious, maybe customizable, but definitely inspirational totem…

It must be catching because Bryce shocks us with an update about America’s-next-great-fo…

Despite the relentless "glass half empty" jokes, ATAP is full of eternal optimists. In the hopes of making the world a better place, Brownie and the gang bat around some fun ideas to send out into the zeitgeist: new rules in professional sports, end talking during movies , start playing games during movie trailers and credits. Are these even pitche…

Hot takes abound as the ATAPers share which beloved artists they just don't dig. Who let that producer out of the booth?
