  • Great show

    I’m rewatching all of survivor and I’m so glad I stumbled across you both, I’m no where near caught up to date but just finished season one with you guys and this is my new go to pod. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to follow breakdowns I couldn’t find another pod like this!

  • I often enjoy listening to Steven and Jared even more than watching the actual Survivor episodes

    And that’s high praise, bc I really like Survivor!

    I could not recommend this podcast more highly to Survivor fans.

    If you’re looking for a podcast that recaps old Survivor seasons in depth, then this one is for you! As far as I know, it’s the only pod that does a full recap episode per each Survivor episode. It’s a formidable task that will take maybe north of a decade to complete, but they consistently release 2 episodes per week! They’re currently starting season 23.

  • I have opened the ugly purple app

    My distaste for the Apple Podcasts app shouldn’t prevent from coming here to say that this is a great podcast!

    This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites since I came across it a couple of months ago. The discussions are interesting, the hosts are very entertaining, and every moment I have spent listening to it has been enjoyable. What more can you ask for?

    They are incredibly dedicated to this project in a way that I really appreciate. It’s a hard thing they’ve taken on, and I thin... more

  • Fine podcast

    Overall the podcast is fine. The survivor content is great. Steven does a great job leading Jared to talk about predictions (which end up hilariously wrong a lot)

    The what’s going on the world bit is interesting. The political soapboxes are energetic and typically entertaining. The only issue is Jared occasionally comes off as bigoted and racist.

  • A little bit of all the things 😊

    JusticeforBB said it perfectly in their review. Steven and Jared are a joy to listen to. I started this podcast in tandem with watching survivor for the first time. I’m about to be at TimeNow and will have to decide if I’m going to stay back with Jared or move forward.
