The Bridges Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Destiny and NotsoErudite (Kyla). Announced around September 2023, the first episode aired March 1, 2024, with Jeremiah Johnson as the guest. The podcast started at around the same time as Anything Else?, with Destiny and Dan and is hosted in the same studio.
"...Bridges Podcast, where Destiny's dynamic discussions meet the insightful perspectives of both notable figures (politicians, streamers, Hollywood writers, experts, etc) and everyday voices (normie and non-grass touching alike).Each episode promises to ignite robust conversations around politics and current events. Imagine the energy of Destiny's streams, enriched by a wider array of voices, live in podcast format. I am looking for people who are open to coming to Miami and want to talk about ideas to apply to be on the show. I will be pairing panelists with high-octane guests based on similar interests in the topic."
