About this listen

The Bridge Boys Podcast is a chaotic, comedy-first deep dive into the surprisingly dramatic world of… bridges.

Hosted by Ben and Aled, this weekly show takes structures you’ve probably driven over without a second thought, and gives them the spotlight they never knew they needed. From iconic landmarks to completely random crossings, no bridge is safe.

Each episode features:

  • Ben’s Bridge of the Week – a passionate deep dive into a standout structure, immediately put under scrutiny as Aled delivers his completely unqualified ranking
  • The Great Bridge Boys Bridge Off – Ben and Aled go head-to-head, each bringing a bridge to the table and battling it out to decide which one truly deserves glory
  • Much Much More

It’s part engineering, part travel, and mostly two friends getting far too invested in bridges.

New episodes every week, launching with a 10-episode series.

Whether you’re mildly curious or deeply obsessed, The Bridge Boys Podcast will have you questioning every bridge you cross.
