It's been two weeks since the last episode and Where's the Brand New Album? is slowing down discussion about a specific record from Brand New and just talking about the band themselves. This episode plays around with format -- two guests! three segments! -- in which conversation goes as far as the band's silent presence, those mysterious demos, the music scene in general, Kevin Devine, and the extremely popular Layne Montgomery. Andrew Gelburd and Matthew Ryan join in for "Fighting Off Your Deja Devil Demons."Don't forget to subscribe to us on iTunes, follow us on Twitter, and email us at [email protected]!

In an unusual turn of events, Jacob is left by himself without Spenser for the nineteenth episode of the Based on Nothing podcast. Fear not, dear Jacob, as your friend Megan Carter will join you and help out with the always fascinating discussion found on the podcast! Topics include: Game of Thrones, Interstellar, Transparent, and good ol' HBO.

It's the second episode of the only podcast that asks the age-old question, "Where's the Brand New Album?" and in this episode they discuss Brand New's sophomore record, Deja Entendu. With guest Drew Beringer (AbsolutePunk.net), Spenser and Jacob go through the monumental album track-by-track, talk about the band's social media presence (or lack thereof), Spider-Man, Dashboard Confessional, and Matthew McConaughey.

The time has come for another podcast where we talk about a band's discography, and that band is Brand New. Where's The Brand New Album? asks the age-old question, "where's that goddamn brand new album from the band Brand New?" In this episode, Spenser and Jacob pose the question, can't find the answer, and so they discuss Brand New's debut album, Your Favorite Weapon. In depth conversation gets crazy when they talk about each track individually, national tragedies, and, for some reason, Dashboard Confessional.

In the eighteenth episode of the Based on Nothing podcast, Jacob and Spenser delve into conversation about the recent Marvel movie plan reveal. With Matt Harper (from the band Dead), Jan Tarkovsy (a made up person) and Luke Thornton, the discussion goes to great highs with technical difficulities to bring it all down. They survive, thankfully, enough to welcome the world-renowned artist Banksy onto the show, where he talks about his recent capture.

The entirety of the sixteenth episode of Based on Nothing is all about Taylor Swift. How excited are we for her new album, 1989? What do we think of her music videos?

The fifteenth episode of Based on Nothing features a little Based on Nothing party as hosts Spenser Milo and Jacob Harrington invite long-time contributor Jim Testa into the mix. The three of them, alongside Mal Smith (because duh), discuss the definition and history of "the scene," Gotham, The Flash, A to Z, Selfie, Mulaney, and Showtime's upcoming series The Affair. After the TV-talk is done with, they invite Special Agent Joe Meechum to talk about the secret service and his upcoming new book.

In the fourteenth episode, Jacob and Spenser welcome their old friend Lauren Mirzakhalili; who hosts an NPR-like radio show at Swarthmore.
