Overview

Details

It's an alternate 2016, and Watchtower 10 sits in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, keeping lonely watch over the Transcontinental Bridge. Each watchtower sits hundreds of feet away from the Bridge, broadcasting regular traffic reports to ensure that proper safety precautions are taken. These lighthouses (for cars) are filled with a carefully selected (and very capable) crew. Watchtower 10's necessary personnel happen to be: a generalist DJ who spends her free time relaying folklore from abandoned parts of the Bridge, her supervisor (who's only there because he lost a bet), an unfailingly optimistic Bridge Travel Agent, and a groundskeeper who has a thing for romantic comedies. Unbeknownst to the general public (but totally knownst to each watchtower's crew), these stations also hold a secret that could potentially destroy the world...or save it. The Bridge is a fictional serialized fantasy podcast about the monsters we fear, the monsters we can become, and the stories we leave behind.

We're celebrating a special occasion on the Transcontinental Bridge--so we've found Etta's first-ever (non-traffic-report-related) broadcast to commemorate an historic day in our show's history! We hope you'll enjoy it.

And we also hope you'll join us in congratulating Rebecca Mahoney on the release of her YA debut, THE VALLEY AND THE FLOOD!!!! You can find it in a bookstore near you starting today, February 23, 2021! Rebecca's debut is heartbreaking, breathtaking, surreal, and some of the best storytelling I've ever seen. Rebecca's writing is at the heart of our show, so if you love The Bridge you're gonna love THE VALLEY AND THE FLOOD!
