The No Ideas Original Podcast was created in March of 2020 during the start of the COVID 19 pandemic by two Bronx natives Shanon and Mr. Raab. Shortly thereafter another Bronx native, Zain joined the team. The podcast was created to discuss topics such as hip-hop culture, pop culture, fashion, sports, politics, wellness, economics, community and knowledge. During the first two months of recording, the podcast was only offered in audio format on Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Podcast and Google Podcast. After a while it became apparent that the quarantine would last longer than initially expected and the guys decided to take the show virtual and create a YouTube channel.
With 3 distinct personalities and interest, you never know what you’re going to get when you tune into the No Ideas Original Podcast. You may pop in and catch the crew having a riveting discussion on Black History, debating hip hop, and/or discussing their latest stock interest. In addition to their own banter occasionally a guest or two drops by to chop it up with the crew. After only 1 year, the guys were able to land a number of interviews with entertainers, entrepreneurs and educators.
