Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 174 ratings
  • Carly Rae Jepsen

    I probably would have given 5 stars anyway but Riley said Carly Rae Jepsen would be his Zac Brown is and reward and that really solidified it for me. Then he mentioned Ann Phoong and it was over.

  • 5 stars for Tyson but three’s a crowd…

    LOVE Tyson and his insights. He does a great job with his guests and is so fun. Riley is also fairly knowledgeable and provides good perspectives. Can’t understand why they kept Ashley though. She was transparent that she had zero knowledge of survivor when she started producing and filling in occasionally for Riley, but she has no credentials to get a cohost role. She just adds random, off-the-wall takes that aren’t even funny or entertaining. Three’s a crowd already and it’s four when there’s ... more

  • Recapping E4

    This podcast is a pleasure. Tyson, crew and guests are smart, fun, and they don’t cut each other off or talk over each other. It’s become my Survivor fave!

  • Not for everyone

    Amazing content but don’t recommend if you’re listening to while driving with your kids, your mom or your grandma. For some reason the extent of his descriptive vocabulary is the f-bomb. Kind of a bummer.

  • Love the trio’s vibe!

    I’ve always loved this podcast with Tyson’s insights and the great guests. But what’s been really great (to me) this season is the Thursday show with the exiting player and the extended chat. It’s fun listening to just Tyson, Riley & Ashley talk about things they missed and have as much fun as we are watching the season. Wonderful chemistry!
