Ain't That a Pitch?

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch!

Today we welcome Maura Kanter and Chloé Lexia Worthington as our guest pitchers. They have their own podcast HISTORICALLY BADASS BROADS where a historian and her friend discuss previously forgotten, maligned or ignored women from history. The group begins by discussing women they each would like to meet and learn from, ranging from celebrities who hope that they’re not normal to more well kno...

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch!

Today we welcome Liam Gareau as our guest pitcher. Liam is the host of Tell Me Everything, the podcast where he and his guests get to know each other through discussing aspects of pop culture that mean the most to them. Are there movies you've seen that you can't stop talking about? Are there songs you've listened to that you've felt transformed by? Borrowing a page from L...

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. In what circumstances does it feel like the outside presentation of yourself is most in line with how you feel on the inside? How do you know when you are being you?

Jake then pitches a way to reshape the Manic-Pixie-Dream-Girl genre. How could it be flipped on its head and presented f...

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 answers on our Instagram!

Jake then pitches an idea he has centered...

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. Probably something some of them should have considered before starting a podcast, huh?

Brownie then sets up for three very unique pitches.  First, a “lit” idea that, if it ever became a reality, could make a lot of scents. Second, Brownie sets his goals “high” with a business venture betwe...

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.

Then, with a little help from Tony Hawk, Raven gets the group chatting about their individual experiences with encouragement, self-doubt and confidence. Where do these beliefs come from, nature or nurture? Do you always believe in yours...

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch!

Ok, you've been invited to a costume party, but you’re feeling reluctantly obligated to participate. What if you don’t wanna dress up? Or even attend? Has this ever happened to you? Please “John” us as we discuss what to do a situation like this.

Next up, Brownie presents a new segment designed to define made up words and ideas such as The Fringlethorpe Method. Please be sure to...

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.

Bryce then pitches an incredible idea he has called Poetry Across America. Spray painted on the bridges of America would be single words from poems. The full poems would span across the states, word by word on bridges. Travelers would discover t...

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 questions and more. Oh, and Bryce gives us an update on his on-again, off-agai...

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. With his question he tries to get his fellow ATAPers to play a little game, which, uncomfortableness aside, encourages us each to rethink both how we perceive ourselves and how we are perceived by others. Some ...

Welcome to Ain’t That a Pitch! Today we crack open a few eggs, we crack open Jake’s head where we find a sci-fi idea he has based on one of America’s 37th presidents and, of course, we all crack each other up during another fun and thought provoking episode of ATAP. So, let’s get cracking!

Hard? Soft? Fluffy? Creamy? Scrambled? Fleeky? With water? Cheesy? Basil-ed? Creamier? With milk? Set a bit? Firm? Overcooked? Seasoned...

Thank you for joining us for another exciting episode of Ain’t That a Pitch!

Today, Jake starts us off with a unique question: is there guilt you feel that you know is stupid or unfounded AKA dumb guilt? Well, Jake has some and it’s covered in cheese. Next up, Brownie once again shoots for three with a possible new career path centered around a certain awe-inspiring skill he has, then a pitch for a hard hitting documentar...

Welcome to a special episode of Ain’t That a Pitch! On the podcast today we invite our very dear friend, David Blake JR. (AKA Blake) to be our first guest pitcher.

First up, Bryce has an ice breaker all lined up, but a random story leads to an interesting pondering of our favorite...

Welcome back to another fabulous episode of Ain’t That a Pitch! 

We start things off today with a passionate conversation about unique pizza toppings. Things eventually get so heated that we end up having our first on-air phone call with our great friend/pizza enthusiast/drummer extraordinaire Michael Petrucci. He helps us discover the delicious truth behind one the world’s greatest questions: what is a pizza topping most ...

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 episode Jake is still recovering from his bachelor party, but he starts us o...

*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 art exhibit?), and a one-man show that celebrates a classic Dan C...

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 was born to be on Japanese television, Bryce tries to revolut...

Starting us off we discuss the vault that Prince posthumously insisted on never being opened. What would you create and then lock away to never be seen again?  Next up, Bryce has a handful of quarters today for his deep dive into one of his greatest passions: Pinball. He lays out three unique designs he has for pinball machines (or is pinball games?) that he would love to see brought to life, but we all know this is probably as far...

You've never heard of baffles? Well you're in luck because you will in this week's episode! The gang ponders the idea of taking risks and discusses whether or not they take fewer emotional or physical risks...or neither. Brownie loves a triple and hits us with pitches for an invention, a ”political campaign” and a movie. Closing it all out is Bryce with some true wisdom from Charles M. Schulz, inventor of the peanut....
