If you want exactly that audience and you want to step right into those shoes, go for it. Because regardless of your statements or intentions, that is what you would be buying.
I like the idea of this type of podcast. I'm very not familiar with the Bridges podcast. I don't know what value it or your potential co-host would add compared to just starting a brand new podcast. I'm guessing there's a large audience like-minded audience already there? I'd listen either way.
I would love if you saved the podcast. I highly doubt Destiny nor his audience are going to be offended or vindictive. The people here complaining most likely hated Destiny before all this anyway. I like Kyla and would love to see the podcast continued. I think you'd make a good host for it.
I'm not familiar with your content and haven't seen your Bridges ep, but I found you on here through the DGG starter pack.
I'd say if you've been invited and think it'll work, go for it. I'd like to see the show continue, and for more political voices of that kind to be amplified.
That would be amazing. I found your YouTube channel through the Destiny subreddit and really enjoy your YouTube content. Having some long form content about a variety of topics with guests who know their shit would be really interesting.
All I would say is don't underestimate how hard it will be to wash away the stink left behind by a guy like Destiny. It will linger. It might be more worth your time and energy to do your own thing rather than stepping into someone else's shoes, in this instance
You keep refuting in the comments with this point. despite your perspective on your possible future role other people have a perception that you are in fact stepping into destiny's shoes. That alone should cause some careful consideration. You can't necessarily change how others are going to view it
1. Creative ideas are for moving it forward
2. Passionate about it
3. Interpersonal vibes for a show you could develop with Kyla
4. Impact of the issue lasting 4mo+ & the resurgence of it
❌on 1st 2 = No
❌on 2nd 2 = Make your own
You got the chops for the learning curve + experimenting
Working with Erudite I don't think you'll be able to avoid being seen as 'the guy who took Destiny's podcast' unless it becomes so successful as to eclipse its current success. Even with a rebrand I think almost no matter what for the first year or so you're going to be hearing that
The potential of good guests has I would assume also decreased since most people who care about their reputation should not be associating with anything related to Destiny.
You might want to try something smaller scale to test the waters/ see how much you enjoy doing something like this
So you wanna be a podcast superstar
And live large
A big house, five cars, you're in charge Comin' up in the world
Don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
The first thing I've seen from you was your video about bots and I loved it and shared it around to anyone who would listen, so I would love that idea and I'd love to see more of that.
I feel that it might fit really well!
As a (disappointed) Destiny fan and long-time Benn Jordan watcher this would blow my mind. Bridges is such a good concept, Erudite does a fantastic job and I think you two would make great cohosts!
I'm honestly shocked you've been a part of the Destiny orbit. I hope you're putting some good distance between yourself and them. I would welcome some content with actual (preferably independent) journalists and expert guests.
Good to hear, I guess. Maybe you know more than me, but I wouldn't touch this with a 10-foot pole. It still comes with his toxic community and a co-host that, from what I've seen, hasn't distanced herself from him at all. Lots of baggage you really don't deserve.
I’m not a fan of these “chatty” podcasts. There were some good moments during some of the discussions, but I kind of think your version of your YouTube channel with occasional discussions with one or more folks and your topics, I think is better.
notsoerudite run cover and did damage control for a soon to be a sex offender (with full knowledge of destiny's deeds). The way she talked and whitewashed his actions is off-putting to say the least. I'd love to see you embark on something like that but this is nor the person to do that with.
I didn't even finish reading what you typed and you've said things that I, without bias, know are intrinsically false as I was in close proximity to her when the accusations dropped.
If you're interested in gossip and streamer drama, this podcast will not be for you.
I wouldn't call sharing revenge porn and going to court over it an "internet drama". I've stayed close to this case because I've watched destiny and Kyla for years. I've seen the statements and leaked logs of her. It sucks that you choose to force an unsubstantiated belief and are unwilling to talk.
Wow, this is a great idea Benn. I did not see this coming, but I feel good about it. Also, although pretty anonymous on this platform, I have 20 years of broad experience in the technical/aesthetical side of both broadcast and film production so feel free to DM me if I can be of any (free) help.
I don't know anything about the podcast but I wouldn't want to sit in a chair Destiny was just in. I think you could build something yourself and have more success in the long run, too.
I think it would be a great idea. I'm not happy about what's happening with Destiny (he literally has said to not defend him), so I'm all for you taking over and joining as co-host. I really like the work you've done. I think that the type of discussions that Bridges did need to reach more people.
this is really exciting to hear. you've made some of my favorite videos. I'm a shitty musician, yet I've watched a lot of your audio content. The latest vids are amazing. Your research, perspective and talent are very valuable in my opinion and the internet should get exposed to more of it all.
Long time fan of Destiny here and I've seen a few of your vids over the years. I definitely love your approach to your content and I think you have a good personality for this
Unfortunate situation he only has himself to blame, its not the ultimate sin but it's bad for the show. I'd like the change
I think that you’d be better off starting your own podcast without the baggage or hosts. Destiny‘s cohost should be replaced as well as she manipulated victims, ran cover for, and tried to dismiss accusations against Destiny. The tech & crew isn’t great either. So what is the subs & brand worth?
Comments
Also, FWIW, in my experience DGG (at least the subreddit) is nowhere near as toxic as it's claimed to be. Edgy, yes, but not toxic.
I'd say if you've been invited and think it'll work, go for it. I'd like to see the show continue, and for more political voices of that kind to be amplified.

He would not retain any ownership or involvement moving forward.
I live in a pretty small podcast universe, so I had no idea what this meant…I looked around…yikes.
Anyway, enough digging, now on to the listening.
