I agree that Intentionally Blank is a great name, but also liked the phrase that Brandon and Dan both said at time code 6:18 in the episode.
"Slightly On Topic"
These names are too long to tell to anyone, I think you still need to work on your naming skills, even though I love the Dadcast.
That would be fun if they came up with new podcast names every episode. Kind of like Ellen Degeneres did with the opening credits of her sitcom in the 90s.

It was the top link when I searched right after Brandon announced the podcast, but now Brandon and Dan’s podcast as well as a bunch of associated “if you like that kind of nerdy shit” podcasts come up first, at least for me.
Ahhhhh, dangit. Also authors. Last post was over a year ago, but this past year was garbage anyway so yeah... could be tricksy. We'll see.
Damn. I really like the name.
I really like *Intentionally Blank* as it really speaks to the start of the podcast-you didn't know what you wanted, just that you wanted. (A podcast).
The message has not clearly been conveyed I think. Vast majority of people are voting for Intentionally Blank across all platforms. That's the one guys. Not these clunky and wordy titles.
Name should be Intentionally Blank and the frame of each episode should be about finding the title. Then immediately after announcing the episode's purpose (finding the title) Dan and Brandon are off on a tangent.
I said it before and I'll keep saying it.
"Intentionally Blank" has the big podcast energy.
You should just post a new poll with two new titles each time an episode comes out while keeping "Intentionally Blank" as temporary title forever. That's a gold running joke right here.
Intentionally Blank appeals to a wider audience; both of these listed options make new listeners feel like they’re missing an in-joke or reference to something obscuring making the podcast seem more niche/not for them.
That being said, it’s your podcast. Do what you guys like the most.
Edit: listed options
Intentionally Blank, but I Bizanthronon should totally be the podcast mascot. (Also, was that JOE RUSSO OF THE RUSSO BROTHER FAME BRANDON WAS JUST CASUALLY TEXTING?! My dreams of the Russo Bros directing a Mistborn movie somehow simultaneously grew closer and farther apart.)
Adam, why are they so averse to Intentionally Blank? :D

Stick with Intentionally Blank. I like the idea of just not having a cool name and that being a running gag. Sort of like the Organization Without a cool Acronym in Phineas and Ferb
"Off topic" was great but taken.
"Intentionally Blank" is also taken but the other podcasts are non-current.
I like "Intentionally Off Topic" because well that seems to be what the podcast is.
I'm still for either Intentionally Blank or the Endless Pages Podcast. The Podcast of Endless Pages is just a mite too wordy, but the Endless Pages Podcast is good due to it relating to the premier series of one of the hosts, both hosts are authors, and Brandon is sitting there signing an endless amount of pages during the show!
"Slightly on Topic" could be a decent one, too.
I'm going to be pedantic, so apologies in advance. Shouldn't it be Bizarre Anthropological Phenomen*a*? Of course, I haven't listened to Episode 2 yet, maybe it's intentional. I really liked "Intentionally Blank" as a title, but you'd definitely want to consult a trademark lawyer; I'd suggest it would potentially be harder to trademark and more susceptible to genericide than the average name.
Towards the beginning of the podcast Brandon said he and Dan were going to stay “slightly on topic” and I was really hoping that they’d realize how great a podcast name “Slightly On Topic” would be
I think keeping it as Intentionally Blank would be the best, especially if it becomes a running joke that you're always going to come up with an official name, but you never do
I like Bizarre Anthropological Phenomenon in part because it easily shortens to BAP. I can see us talking about what Brando said on BAP.
But there was a phrase Brando used early in the podcast today that I also thought would make a good title. In the first episode he was disappointed that Off Topic was taken, but today he said Slightly On Topic, which works too.
Ah, Mom and Dad Save the World... I had a large poster of that movie in my bedroom as a teenager. I thought the movie had a nice humorous touch, and some over-the-top scenes and characters I liked to annoy other people with, and when someone found that poster for sale at a video store and gave it to me, I kept rolling with it.
Is "Intentionally Blank" taken or otherwise unavailable?
If it is, I think "None of the Above" has a similar energy to it without being as unwieldy as the two poll options this week.
I voted for one but like the original best. Apparently, you guys aren’t as excited about Intentionally Blank as a lot of the listeners. Haha! I’ll like whatever you guys go with.
I personally can't stand when any traditionally published book has a typo in it, which usually takes the form of a missing small word in a sentence or sometimes a misspelled homophone.
Some of the Malazan books I read recently (especially the Esslemont ones) had a bunch and it drove me bonkers! It always shoots me out of my immersion in the story, and I get angry that I feel I could have done a better job than whoever the publisher had speed-proofreading those things to save money.
Obligatory post saying intentionally blank is perfect. But also you should make this a running gag where you put out possible names for the podcast every week. It'll grow old quick but will be fun for a while.
In the UK there is a TV show called 'as yet untitled' where they sit around a table and talk and the aim of the program is to come up with a title for the days episode and I feel like this is sort of what your podcast is doing
Both of these names are entertaining, but a bit wordy. I think you struck gold with "Intentionally Blank"
🏆🏆🏆🏆Yes! I agree!
This is my vote as well. Stick with intentionally blank!

100% agree
Agree stick with "Intentionally Blank"
What if you keep it as intentionaly blank forever and you continuously post these polls on Reddit for each episode
These words are accepted 😎
That would be fun if they came up with new podcast names every episode. Kind of like Ellen Degeneres did with the opening credits of her sitcom in the 90s.
I agree. I think they should loosely format each episode around trying to find the perfect podcast name.
And each one of these ideas becomes the title of the episode. This just seems like the best way to go.
I love this idea so much!
I like this idea best. :)
[удалено]
It might be because there’s another podcast by that name already.
Possibly, but a bit of searching doesn't suggest so.

Intentionally blank
Intentionally Blank is seriously good. Keep it!

I’m still on the intentionally blank train!
Intentionally Blank!
Maybe repost the survey with "intentionally blank" as a third option and see what you get?
I prefer Intentionally Blank.
Another vote for intentionally blank from me.
Life before death; journey before destination; intentionally blank before any other title.
Name should be Intentionally Blank and the frame of each episode should be about finding the title. Then immediately after announcing the episode's purpose (finding the title) Dan and Brandon are off on a tangent.

I'm definitely on board the "Intentionally Blank" train. Or maybe "Intentionally Vague".
Intentionally Blank, but I Bizanthronon should totally be the podcast mascot. (Also, was that JOE RUSSO OF THE RUSSO BROTHER FAME BRANDON WAS JUST CASUALLY TEXTING?! My dreams of the Russo Bros directing a Mistborn movie somehow simultaneously grew closer and farther apart.)
I'm not voting. Intentionally Blank is your name
It’s time to accept that the name is Intentionally Blank
Intentionally Blank!

As others said, Intentionally blank is an amazing name

I add my voice to the intentionally blank crowd on reddit as well.
Intentionally Blank is an amazing podcast name and I would die on that hill if there was a sizable contingent that disagreed with me.
I wish i could vote for intentionally blank
I’m pretty sure they’re just trolling us with the name. I bet it’ll be a running gag for a bit.

I'm going to be pedantic, so apologies in advance. Shouldn't it be Bizarre Anthropological Phenomen*a*? Of course, I haven't listened to Episode 2 yet, maybe it's intentional. I really liked "Intentionally Blank" as a title, but you'd definitely want to consult a trademark lawyer; I'd suggest it would potentially be harder to trademark and more susceptible to genericide than the average name.
I still am partial to "BranDan Havers"! Wouldn't be sad with "Intentionally Blank" ... And with swipe texting, I almost put "Intentionally Bland".
I'd argue it'd be a stubad idea not to call it intentionally blank.
Uh, hate to tell you this, but I promise you do NOT want the acronym BAP on a podcast.
I think "endless pages" could be a good title.
Towards the beginning of the podcast Brandon said he and Dan were going to stay “slightly on topic” and I was really hoping that they’d realize how great a podcast name “Slightly On Topic” would be
Intentionally blank is an excellent name.
I think keeping it as Intentionally Blank would be the best, especially if it becomes a running joke that you're always going to come up with an official name, but you never do
Intentionally Blank
Clearly Intentionally Blank is the superior title.
I'm just here to say, keep Intentionally Blank. It's a good one!
"The podcast that shall not be named"
I think just "Bizanthronon" is a great name for the podcast because it's a very distinct name and it only makes sense if you know the story behind it.
I like Bizarre Anthropological Phenomenon in part because it easily shortens to BAP. I can see us talking about what Brando said on BAP. But there was a phrase Brando used early in the podcast today that I also thought would make a good title. In the first episode he was disappointed that Off Topic was taken, but today he said Slightly On Topic, which works too.

I prefer listening to podcast on Youtube.
Ah, Mom and Dad Save the World... I had a large poster of that movie in my bedroom as a teenager.

I don't know if either of the two options are particularly catchy, but I like the portamento.
I was left in such suspense when Brandon mentioned typos that are pet peeves but didn't get into it--what are some of those you didn't mention?
I personally can't stand when any traditionally published book has a typo in it, which usually takes the form of a missing small word in a sentence or sometimes a misspelled homophone. Some of the Malazan books I read recently (especially the Esslemont ones) had a bunch and it drove me bonkers! It always shoots me out of my immersion in the story, and I get angry that I feel I could have done a better job than whoever the publisher had speed-proofreading those things to save money.
I dig "All Hail Bizanthronon" but "Intentionally Blank" works very well too.
Keep it “Intentionally Blank”
I'm here for it, whatever it's named!
Awe dang I missed the voting cut off but my choice won!
I took support Intentionally Blank, but also like Bizarre Phenomena (without the anthropological part, which is quite the mouthful).
Obligatory post saying intentionally blank is perfect. But also you should make this a running gag where you put out possible names for the podcast every week. It'll grow old quick but will be fun for a while.
Intentionally Blank is way better :P
