The Bridge
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.
Fascinating worldbuilding

The world of this podcast is very weird and very fun.
Wonderful story; grating voice!

As other reviewers have said, the world building in this podcast is compelling. It’s just plausible enough to be realistic. However, I can’t listen to more than one episode at a time, no matter how badly I want to binge, because of Alex Brown’s voice. Or, rather, delivery. Given that she plays one of the main characters, Etta, and speaks often, it’s a real problem. In fact, her delivery is the only reason I don’t give The Bridge five stars. She’s always talking in a dripping-with-sarcasm voice (I love sarcasm, just not constant “awwww, gee, does that HUURT?” kind of stuff) and the mock-advertising delivery - my ears bleed! It’s like an obnoxious drunk friend who says EVERYTHING in a Home Shopping Network or cruise-ship- commercial voice - and just. Won’t. Stop. Doesn’t matter if they’re talking about going to the loo, checking someone out at the bar, discussing taxes - it’s all in this dripping, faux-enthusiastic loud voice. I know that the whole series can’t be re-recorded using another actor (or giving Alex Brown different direction), but if so, a casually interesting podcast could easily become a must-listen, can’t-wait event.
Great story. Short and simple.

If you're looking for a tale that makes you laugh but pulls at your heartstrings, this is the podcast for you. I discovered this podcast while listening to the Ostium podcast and was instantly hooked. Really well done. Beautiful tale.
Can’t Wait

I can’t wait until y’all are putting new episodes out. I love this podcast. I have like a lot time to listen to podcast and music at my job and this is by far one of my favorite podcasts. Keep the good work up and and have fun.
