No Bad Ideas
Long Story Short ProductionsThe No Bad Ideas Podcast is the creation of Gabriel Urbina, Sarah Shachat, and Zach Valenti, three writer and artist-types who, in order to stay fresh creatively, have an excuse to hang out with each other once a week, and check in on what they're working on, take a terrible idea they found on the Internet each week and turn it into a compelling narrative. Or as close as they can get in 30 minutes... more

I love this podcast. Listening to it feels like watching friends pull each other deeper into creative rabbit holes. The stories and experiences that Gabriel, Sarah and Zach share about their creative journeys also feel so relatable and make me feel better about my own difficulties as a creator. Thanks.so much for sharing this, team! <3

Apple Podcasts5kiwi_chick6Australia6 years ago - Always a delight
I love getting to start my week with No Bad Ideas. The hosts are fantastic, the guests are amazing, and the ideas are always truly, astonishingly bad.
Thank you for 100 wonderful episodes, looking forward to many more <3
Apple Podcasts5Rinasaurus RexUnited States6 years ago Look, it's just very fun to listen to and constantly upsetting that these ideas aren't actually in production.
Podchaser56 years agoPicktreeB- Nothing I love more than a podcast with a totally random concept
There are many types of podcasts. They tell you about a topic. Rewatch podcasts. Audio fiction. And then there’s my favorite type, the “hey lets do this thing and also tape it.” No bad ideas is a beautiful example.
Apple Podcasts5Lizard.hazenUnited States6 years ago - I was destined to leave this review today because this podcast is a 10/10
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started listening, but as I heard them spin that first episode’s bad idea into a developed story (that I wouldn’t be against paying to see/hear a production of), it only deepened my appreciation for Zach, Sarah, and Gabriel. Not only does this podcast fulfill my curiosity to peek into their minds as a Wolf 359 fan, but it leaves me laughing and also thoughtful about writing stories, and writing/creating in general. I support you guys so much, thank you for sha... more
Apple Podcasts5ZelhakraUnited States7 years ago - Comforting and motivating
Love your stories they come up with. Always end up laughing. Love seeing the process of how they come up with (good) ideas. They also provide great advice, not just for writing for being a human being in general.

Canada7 years ago - Just listen, it
This podcast helps me see how things in everyday life can be made into awesome stories. There are no bad ideas if you try hard enough :)
Apple Podcasts5significantotterUnited States7 years ago - Hi!
As a long time listener first time caller, I’d just like to say that I thoroughly enjoy listening to No Bad Ideas and it’s been really neat to be able to hear your creative processes! Hope you keep this going for a while, it’s really enjoyable to listen to!
Apple Podcasts5Your cousin's goldfishUnited States7 years ago - Wonderful energy!
I’m always excited when a new episode comes out, because I know I get to spend another hour with my favourite people!
Apple Podcasts5Holly-BerriesUnited States7 years ago - Funny & Endearing
Hooked even further with GATTACA and Dollhouse mention, my kind of people! 🤓
Another all-around great project from Zach, Sarah and Gabriel. From a non-writer their chats, musings and advice are very relatable to aspects of my life. I love their camaraderie and rapport, it’s fulfilling to listen to a group of people who support each other wholeheartedly. My days are brightened by this and the “bad ideas!”
Apple Podcasts5CharabiaChicUnited States7 years ago - Very Helpful
Even as a person who is not a "writer" this is helpful in over coming obstacles in productivity and dealing with negative thoughts etc...
Great advice for any creative enterprise not just writing. Or any productive enterprise, just being more productive around the office! I listen at my cubicle and it is very helpful :)
Apple Podcasts5tealingdaisiesUnited States7 years ago - Listening makes me reenergized to create things
The ideas and the stories that come from them are hilarious, but I equally love the back end where Sarah, Zach, and Gabrielle discuss issues related to being a creative person. Listening to this podcast reenergizes me creatively and I love it to bits.
