  • They Complain but Give Credit When It’s Due

    The Specialists are a must listen podcast if you like Survivor or The Traitors. They have a deep love of Survivor which often times translates to a critical lens of the show. I enjoy how they have a deep knowledge of the history and while I don’t always agree with them, I prefer their fervor to a generic smile at everything. I appreciate that they can be hyperbolic and then will either back it or reassess upon more information. Highly recommend it.

  • Well Balanced Survivor Analysis

    I’ve been listening for a few seasons now and I enjoy hearing Phil, Will, and Blake’s take on Survivor episodes. And now adding Tegwyth to the mix for even more fun and nuanced discussion! Some reviewers have criticized the podcast as negative, but I find it well balanced, nuanced and realistic. McKenna and John bring a fun depth of knowledge and discussion to the Survivor rewind content. I also appreciate the clean rating on the show, that’s harder to find than you might think.
