Premium content studio and podcast network QCODE’s Wood Elf vertical today (4.18) announced its upcoming project, Brain Leak, a new unscripted comedy podcast from Jacksepticeye (Seán McLoughlin) and CrankGameplays (Ethan Nestor). With no format and no rules, the new weekly audio/video podcast represents QCODE’s continued expansion into unscripted podcasts, following Tooth and Claw, Crime Scene Queens, and Jillian on Love. Brain Leak, which premieres April 19, will be distributed to all major podcast platforms and have a video component available on the newly created Brain Leak YouTube channel.

Brain Leak is a funny, off-kilter, and wildly irreverent deep-dive into the brains of Jacksepticeye and CrankGameplays – even the slimy bits. No topic is too taboo, no subject too out of bounds, and no question too dumb. It’s an IV-drip for your ears with two friends shooting the shit about whatever pops into their heads. 

“I guess we’re doing a podcast. I mean, holy crap, we’re doing a podcast,” said Seán McLoughlin and Ethan Nestor. “From what makes us sneeze to the latest games we like, we’re going to discuss whatever pops into our ridiculous brains. We are grateful to QCODE for backing this super fun series and for letting the word vomit flow.”

Wood Elf Media specializes in talent-driven content from online influencers and genre-focused personalities with an emphasis on nerd-culture, gaming, and anything off-kilter in all the best ways. As a vertical of QCODE, Wood Elf welcomes Brain Leak to a growing roster of unscripted shows that also includes Bigfoot Collectors Club and Baseless Speculation. 

“Regardless of the format, at QCODE, we’re always looking to empower distinct voices to share compelling stories,” said QCODE CEO Rob Herting. “Seán and Ethan have become beloved personalities by delivering engaging and hilarious content with unique perspectives, primarily through their incredibly popular YouTube channels. We look forward to giving their undeniable rapport a new platform in Brain Leak, a hilarious new podcast series.” 

QCODE’s Rob Herting, Steve Wilson, David Henning, and Ryan Middledorf will serve as executive producers on the series. The series deal was brokered by CAA, which represents Jacksepticeye alongside manager Nicole Ambrose, Dolphin Entertainment (Shore Fire Media, 42West/BHI) for publicity, and Ryan Pastorek at Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox for legal.

Named a Forbes Top Creator of 2022, Seán McLoughlin, known to fans as Jacksepticeye, is one of the leading creative entrepreneurs in the world. Seán has amassed more than 52 Million followers across social media – with 29 million subscribers, nearly 16 Billion views on YouTube, alone, and regular collaborations with A-list celebrities including Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland and more.
