The Goat Rodeo Variety Show is our very own mixtape of podcasts we’re working on, stories we love and voices you can’t hear anywhere else. Today’s episode is for anyone who’s had a niche obsession. Something you love so much that you’ve learned every fact and detail about it. Something you’re so fixated on that you’ve baffled your friends and maybe even yourself.

Such is the case of Rebecca Seidel, who’s obsessed with bridges. Enough to make a podcast about it. Her show is called Abridged.

Each episode of Abridged is a love letter to these structures that get us from Point A to Point B. And each story is a little different. You’ll hear about a bridge that suddenly started humming, a photographer who’s climbed the bridges of New York City, ants who build bridges out of their own bodies, and more.

Today we’re playing you Episode 3 of Abridged, which is called “Singing Bridges.” I don’t want to spoil too much, but let’s just say it’s about someone who’s just as obsessed with bridges as Becca is. She recommends listening to this one with headphones on, if you have a pair around.
