Emma Chamberlain To Cease ‘Stupid Genius’ In Favor Of Rebranded Podcast

Emma Chamberlain’s podcast venture is evolving.

In her latest video, the YouTube megastar (8.6 million subscribers) confirmed that she will be ceasing production on her 10-month-old podcast, Stupid Genus. In each episode of Stupid Genius, Chamberlain tackles an arbitrary question — the most recent episode asked, for instance, ‘Why do our stomachs rumble when we’re hungry?’ — and attempts to furnish three creative answers. The show is produced by Ramble — a podcast network formed by talent agency UTA and Cadence13, which specializes in shows fronted by YouTube stars like Rhett & Link, Josh Peck, and Flula Borg.

In her latest video, in which she drew a picture while answering Twitter-sourced questions, Chamberlain responded to a fan asking about her future plans. In addition to more launches from her nascent coffee brand, Chamberlain Coffee

, the 18-year-old also addressed her podcast revamp.

“I’m kinda changing up my podcast a little and I haven’t mentioned that yet,” she says in the clip (below). “I had a podcast for a while there called Stupid Genius, and I feel like I kinda needed an upgrade. I like podcasting, but Stupid Genius — I feel like I kind of outgrew it in a sense. So I’m gonna be starting a new podcast with a different name and all that.”

All told, Chamberlain has hosted roughly 40 episodes of Stupid Genius to date — most hovering in length between 30 and 40 minutes. The conceit and title of her rebranded show have yet to be announced.
