Sunday, 25 January, 2026

Nothing quite demonstrates humanity's desire to go places quite like bridges. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat span across a discussion all about bridges, sharing facts and information about some of the most impressive and curious overpasses humanity has constructed over the years. The guys also speculate on a handful of 'odd-news' stories this week, share a few stories of their own, and Pat once again provides an update from the world of Sumo. How old is the oldest bridge in the world? Is a new bridge set to open up this year at a major international crossing? Can certain plants grow into becoming natural bridges? How long has 'dueling' been illegal in Japan? For answers to all of these questions and plenty more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
