Same crew, same chaos, brand-new banner — the Podcastaways christen their rebrand with a self-drummed theme song, a tsunami-adjacent Hawaii saga, and a pool-deck faceplant heard 'round the internet. If you loved the old name, don't worry: they still don't know what season it is either.

Moments worth the wait
- A cold open that sets the tone — Trevor shrugs off the whole relaunch, then mouth-drums a fake theme.
“I didn't come up with any new music.”
- What season is it, anyway? — the new identity comes with a numbering shrug they punt to a Facebook poll.
“if you look, it'll say the podcast aways season, I don't know, we'll probably put it as five at this point because we're, we're exiting four technically.”
- Jenn's homecoming disaster — stuck on the tarmac amid tsunami warnings, then locked out for the night.
“only to find out that our house key is inside the house”
- Tubing down a sugar-plantation canal — Jenn's Kauai adventure gets the perfect one-line summary.
“I shenaned all over the place.”
- The Icon of the Seas pool tumble — the viral infinity-pool fall reported completely deadpan.
“the only thing harmed was the passengers dignity.”
- Tim phones in from Queensland — a SpeakPipe straight from the SeaWorld Resort, homesick for the ship already.
“We're spending a few days at the SeaWorld Resort on the Gold Coast in Queensland... it is just absolute chaos. And I wish I was back on that ship anyway.”
- The carny-origin story — a boss chucking prizes at teenage Trevor and Tom sparks a proud protest.
“Don't call me a car. I'm a high school student... I was not aspiring to be a car.”
Golden nuggets
Running bits & lore born here
- The signature signoff, upgraded — “you're unique, you're special and you are loved,” now capped with the rebrand tag “we are still the same podcast just a different name.”
- Tim-from-Australia lore — the Carnival Splendor South Pacific countdown rolls on from Down Under.
- The “booty clapping fall” bit — the recurring gag gets fresh life from the Icon pool-deck faceplant.
- Trevor's cat-dad identity — plus news that son Tyler is moving back home and reportedly hired on with a cruise line — teased as a future guest.
- Season 5, officially-ish — the show now openly numbers itself Season 5 while cheerfully “exiting four.”
