Steve from “Blue’s Clues” Is Launching a Podcast for Grown-Ups

Ready to feel all the nostalgic feels? Steve Burns – the original, green-striped-shirt-wearing host of “Blue’s Clues” – is officially stepping into the podcast world. But this time, he’s not talking to Salt, Pepper, or Mailbox. He’s talking to you.

Steve’s new podcast is called “Alive“, and it’s aimed at the generation who grew up with him and might now be quietly spiraling into adulthood.

Each weekly episode will explore what it means to “stay human in a complicated world.” Think: self-reflection, curiosity, and probably fewer cartoon chairs with faces.

Burns says the inspiration came from his viral 2021 video marking the 25th anniversary of “Blue’s Clues”, where he popped back into our lives to say he never forgot us … and yes, we cried.

In describing “Alive”, Steve said, “There are a thousand podcasts you can listen to, this is one that listens back.”

He wants to pick up right where he left off decades ago, but with grown-up themes like connection, curiosity, and asking deeper questions.

In other words, this is still a show about following clues, just not the crayon-drawn kind.And in case you’re worried that this is going to be all introspection and no fun, Steve promises there will still be a little lightness sprinkled in. “There will be LESS talking furniture,” he said, “but there will still be some fun along the way.”

The show is expected to drop this fall, and judging by the buzz around it already, “Alive” might just be the cozy, thoughtful podcast hug our collective inner child needs.

So, whether you’re solving existential mysteries or just need a reminder that someone still believes in you, Steve is back.
