Original Blue’s Clues host Steve Burns is launching a new podcast on Lemonada Media to continue talking to the adults who grew up on the show as kids.
The weekly podcast, titled Alive, will focus on “what it means to stay human in a complicated world.” It’s slated to debut in the fall of 2025.
Alive was inspired by Burns’ 2021 viral video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Nick Jr. show, where he apologized for leaving the program, and lauded viewers for navigating life as adults.
“There are a thousand podcasts you can listen to, this is one that listens back,” Burns said in a statement about Alive. “I really want to continue what we started decades ago… For us, it was all about curious investigation. It was about looking a little closer. About asking the right questions. About following the clues that helped lead us toward greater understanding. Alive is really just a continuation of that same conversation — only now we’re grown-ups, trying to make sense of a world that’s a whole lot more complicated. We’re still searching, still learning, still trying to connect. Still doing our best to lead deeply examined lives, together. And, you know, there’ll be less talking furniture, sure, but we’re still going to have a lot of fun along the way.”
Lemonada CEO Jessica Cordova Kramer added, “Adults need to be shepherded through life just as much as kids do, and Steve is the perfect person to do it. He taps right into your inner child, helping listeners feel delight, comfort and curiosity. From the moment we saw Steve’s videos on TikTok during the pandemic, we knew we had to work with him.”
