"I'm super excited for A View From A Bridge to be coming out as a podcast as not many people know that there is SO much more to the 3 minute videos we release," says A View From A Bridge host Joe Bloom. "Each one of these videos is the result of a conversation which has been anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, and so there is so much more to uncover! The overall feeling of the podcast is much more conversational than in the videos, allowing the listener to really feel as though it's them on the other end of the line. I'm excited to be able to offer an even more intimate experience with these stories and the people sharing them. This podcast is personal and familiar, all while being thousands of miles away, recorded somewhere on a Bridge! No studio, just a person on the phone on a bridge."

"Joe has created something incredibly intimate that, paradoxically, feels universal," adds Laura Mayer, Head of Podcasts at Talkhouse. "A View From a Bridgecaptures the real human experience. It's a popular, powerful, counterpoint of what fills so much of our feeds."

Hosted by producer and artist Joe Bloom, A View From A Bridge offers a poetic glimpse into the guest's life, story or opinion - something only they share with the world - presented in a stirring stream of consciousness. Highlights from the podcast's first season include a four-part discussion of the complexities of parenthood, interviews with notable musicians like Perfume Genius, Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos and Sleaford Mods' Jason Williamson, and a selection of stories from people who left home for safety, identity, or self-discovery (featuring Syrian activist and filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab), with an upcoming feature documentary and more to be announced soon.

Coinciding with its recent success of SubwayTakes Uncut, How Long Gone and digital comedy series How Long Gone Today, 2026 Peabody Award-winner Fela Kuti: Fear No Man and more, Talkhouse's continued collaboration with A View From A Bridge furthers its emphasis on video production, best-in-class audio narratives, and always-on conversation shows.
