A Transition Period for the Brains On! Universe

Host Molly Bloom, known for her work on Brains On!, Smash Boom! Best, Forever Ago, and Moment of Um, recently announced that the entire Brains On! universe is entering a period of transition. While the team is taking a "little break from making new episodes," Bloom emphasized that this is not a permanent goodbye. Instead, the team is actively "looking for a new home" to better support their creative output.

Packing Up Headquarters

The announcement was framed with a sense of playful chaos as the team prepares to vacate their current space. Bloom described the logistical challenges of moving, jokingly referencing the difficulty of finding a box "big enough for a taco farm." The move involves the entire production staff, including Joy Dolo from Forever Ago and Hermes the Elephant, who are busy packing up equipment, closets, and even peculiar items like a "life-sized cotton candy sculpture of Penelope Poodle."

Marc, another member of the team, added to the lighthearted tone by admitting he "accidentally eaten half of a dog-shaped cotton candy sculpture" and was looking to hide the evidence within the moving boxes. Amidst the packing, Bloom highlighted the importance of relocating to a facility that will be "bigger and better," boasting upgrades such as "six more bathrooms, 10 more water slides, and a working doorbell."

Maintaining Momentum: Live Events and Inventions

Despite the pause in regular episode production, the Brains On! team remains committed to their audience through live engagement. Bloom confirmed that the show will continue to maintain its presence on the road. Brains On! is scheduled to perform live in Dallas on September 13th, while Smash Boom! Best will bring "live debate action to Princeton, New Jersey on October 26th." Fans are encouraged to visit "brainson.org/events" to secure tickets and potentially receive a "high five" from the hosts in person.

Furthermore, the move is a chance to organize the team's extensive collection of inventions housed in the "labra-kitchen." Bloom specifically mentioned packing unique items like "Molly's Thunderpants," a "velcro ballon," and the "luke-orbinator" with its signature "Zoom ring." These quirky details underscore the team's commitment to the imaginative spirit that defines their programming.

Staying Connected

To ensure that listeners remain updated during this transition, Bloom strongly encouraged fans to sign up for the official newsletter. By visiting "brainson.org/newsletter," listeners can receive the official "forwarding address" for the new headquarters and be the first to know when production resumes.

Closing the announcement with a warm sentiment, Bloom expressed deep appreciation for the community, stating, "We cannot wait to have you over for a visit. Until then, we love you very, very much." While the current production schedule is on hold, the promise of a revitalized space and continued live interaction ensures that the Brains On! universe will return with renewed energy.
