Heralded by the Washington Post as being “ostensibly about ‘Survivor’”, in this podcast, veteran fan Sean Ross and quarantine newbie Evan Ross Katz take a very gay deep dive into all things SURVIVOR.

Thoughtful and fun coverage of Heated Rivalry, and of Survivor too ig even if we love-hate the New Era :) - and wicked good old school, interviews, and AU Survivor episodes
Love the banter - I came for the HR coverage and it is really funny but also thoughtful. I laugh out loud a couple of times an ep. Sasha being fifth-right (not just forthright) just makes me laugh. Sasha is the twinkiest twink who ever twunk. I like that you’re not sycophantic. (Why ARE these multi-millionaires sharing hotel rooms like they’re high-school teachers on a field trip?)
Evan is so clearly over American Survivor. There is nothing fun about listening to someone complain about something they hate for an hour.
If we were to play a game of Star or Starless with the hosts, Kevin would be a supernova 💫
Anything less than 5 stars is a hate crime, honestly.
