United Kingdom2 years ago I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes, clunky exposition dump with characters explaining things to the audience not each other. Don't waste your time
Podcast Addict12 years agoPaukinra- Love this show!
For any true survivor fan, this show has it ALL including my the behind the scenes planning, fun, and strategy we all crave. Keep it coming because I am NEVER leaving this island!
Apple Podcasts5PK the NPUnited States2 years ago Yet another in the increasing, misleading list of scripted podcasts. I'd been looking forward to this one, and downloaded all the episodes available- then left, deflated, disappointed, and duped after about 10 minutes.
