<p>Original <em>Blue&#x27;s Clues</em> host Steve Burns is set to launch his own podcast.</p><p>According to a report by <em>Variety,</em> the podcast will be called <em>Alive</em>, produced by<em></em> Lemonada Media. The weekly program will tackle &quot;what it means to stay human in a complicated world,&quot; delving into topics such as mortality and loneliness, among others.</p><p>&quot;There are a thousand podcasts you can listen to, this is one that listens back. I really want to continue what we started decades ago,&quot; Steve remarked.</p><p>&quot;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,&quot; he added.</p><p>The host highlighted that the <em>Alive</em> podcast is a continuation of that same conversation. &quot;Only now we’re grown-ups, trying to make sense of a world that’s a whole lot more complicated. We&#x27;re still searching, still learning, still trying to connect. Still doing our best to lead deeply examined lives, together. And, you know, there&#x27;ll be less talking furniture, sure, but we’re still going to have a lot of fun along the way.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-42" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF8GBKXu55f/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A42%2C%22os%22%3A93734574.4%2C%22ls%22%3A2614768.700000003%2C%22le%22%3A2615120.700000003%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="951" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-42" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The idea for the podcast stemmed from a video Steve recorded in 2021 for Nick Jr.’s 25th anniversary celebration of <em>Blue’s Clues</em>, which went viral and reconnected him with millions of grown-up fans.</p><p>In the said video, Steve discussed his departure from <em>Blue&#x27;s Clues</em> in 2002 after starring in the show for four seasons.</p><p>&quot;Remember how, when we were younger, we used to run around and hang out with Blue, and find clues and talk to Mr. Salt, and freak out about the mail, and do all the fun stuff?&quot; he recalled in the video. &quot;And then, one day I was like: &#x27;Oh hey, guess what? Big news... I&#x27;m leaving...  And we didn&#x27;t see each other for a really long time.&quot;</p><p>Steve expressed how proud he is of his fans for their growth and accomplishments over the past years. &quot;Look at all you have done and all you have accomplished in all that time. And it&#x27;s just… it&#x27;s just so amazing, right? I mean, we started out with clues and now it&#x27;s what? Student loans, and jobs, and families, and some of that has been kind of hard, you know? I know you know,&quot; he said.</p><p>The host concluded his message, saying: &quot;I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years I never forgot you. Ever. And I&#x27;m super glad we&#x27;re still friends.&quot;</p>
