Love-Hate Relationship
As a new listener and fellow member of the alphabet gang, I feel like I have a love-hate relationship with this podcast! While I genuinely appreciate Shawn and Evans’ critiques and analysis of the show from a production standpoint, the negativity about the show itself and specially how season 46 is unfolding is quite tough to listen to. I totally understand and agree with many of the production critiques they have mentioned of 46 / new era, and I know Sean and Evan verbatim said beginning of this season said they weren’t interested in covering the particular season but are still doing it anyway…. But I almost feel like it would be better if they didn’t because the energy feels a lil jaded (I say that with love here)! For example the whole thing about hunter in the latest could have just been edited out if we weren’t gonna get to hear your perspectives. Like I would much rather hear hunter analysis than hear y’all objectifying Bhanu??? That felt weird. I first found this podcast through folks mentioning on reddit and then listening to the interviews with previous survivor legends like Parvati and Sandra, and I really found those shows a lot more exciting and awesome. Maybe it would help to get more ex castaways to join the show for the recaps so they could share their thoughts and mix up the energy a bit. Anyway will keep listening in hopes that things can improve

This is a great podcast to go to for Survivor episode recaps, but what earns the five stars for me are the interviews with Survivor Alums. Evan and Sean get outstanding guests with legend status, but they also make a point to get underrated icons we don’t hear from very often. I love their talks...Read full review »

This is an awesome Survivor podcast. I spent the last year watching every season and started listening to this podcast semi recently. I love Sean and Evan’s commentary and think they are wonderful, thoughtful interviewers. You can tell every subject feels comfortable around them. Also to address...Read full review »

I liked some of the earlier interviews (Jerri etc) but jeeeez why so much complaining from Evan during the recaps? Arguably best episode in yearz just happened, with objectively one of the best and most complex moves the show has seen (especially in the new era). It was an exciting night to be...Read full review »
