In an exciting announcement made exclusively by PEOPLE, Capshaw expressed her enthusiasm at the start of the podcast’s trailer, stating, “I’ve been waiting a very long time to say this. Are you ready for it? We’re back!” This marks the duo’s return to podcasting, and listeners can expect candid discussions on a range of topics close to their hearts.
According to Luddington, the essence of *We Ride at Dawn(ish)* lies in their “unfiltered conversations” surrounding friendship, resilience, and the importance of support during challenging times. Capshaw echoed her sentiments, saying, “It’s about weathering the storms, staying in the saddle, and knowing that you’ll have someone beside you when the sun comes up.” This podcast essentially focuses on their enduring friendship that blossomed on the *Grey’s Anatomy* set, emphasising the deep connection they share.
The podcast will be distributed by Dear Media, a well-recognised podcast network that focuses on female-centric content. In a statement, both Capshaw and Luddington expressed their excitement about collaborating with Dear Media, noting, “Whether we’re talking about the glamorous and not-so-glamorous parts of being actors, navigating motherhood, or simply trying to figure it all out as we go, we can’t wait for listeners to join us.”
Michael Bosstick, the founder and CEO of Dear Media, praised the pair in an official statement, describing them as “the kind of best friends everyone hopes to find: fun, honest, and truly inseparable.” He further highlighted that *We Ride at Dawn(ish)* offers listeners a glimpse into their unique bond, showcasing the significance of having supportive friends throughout life’s various ups and downs.
Fans of Luddington and Capshaw will be able to listen to *We Ride at Dawn(ish)* across all major podcast platforms. This latest venture follows their previous podcast, *Call It What It Is*, which launched in June 2024 through iHeartRadio. That show allowed the pair to engage with listeners seeking advice, showcasing their dedication to connecting with their audience.
The friendship between Luddington and Capshaw has not always been smooth sailing. They first met in 2012 when Luddington joined the *Grey’s Anatomy* cast as Dr. Jo Wilson, while Capshaw portrayed Dr. Arizona Robbins. However, their relationship got off to a rocky start, as Luddington later revealed during an episode of Sophia Bush’s *Work in Progress* podcast that Capshaw initially did not take a liking to her, resulting in an “icy” atmosphere between them.
Their relationship took a turn for the better when they found themselves as the only cast members attending a planned dinner. Describing this moment, Luddington recalled, “We were forced to reconcile, but then we just loved each other.” This pivotal event transformed their initial tension into a strong, lifelong friendship.
With *We Ride at Dawn(ish)*, fans can anticipate a range of heartfelt discussions that delve deep into the complexities of friendship and the experiences that come with it. Luddington and Capshaw aim to share their journey of navigating both personal and professional challenges, all while reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles.
The podcast promises to be a blend of authentic storytelling, humour, and wisdom drawn from the duo’s rich experiences as friends and actresses. As they prepare to launch their new venture, both Luddington and Capshaw are eager to bring their unique perspectives and unfiltered conversations to listeners everywhere.
