I love to tune into the streams after watching Survivor but if I can’t make it this podcast is always waiting.

The bread and butter of this podcast is Survivor, and a phenomenal Survivor podcast at that, but the podcasts dedicated to movies are so refreshing. No other podcast is as nuanced and independent thinkers when it comes to film as the Survivor Specialists.

Phil told me to write this because he says all the reviews are losers who give them 1 star. I love the specialists, they don’t disappoint and have epic podcasts even in the off season. This one’s for you Phil - go 49ers

But besides that, podcast is really good. Been listening since the SJDS days.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year and thoroughly enjoy all their episodes! They were great with Phil and Alexa and now they’re great with Phil and Will. The structure of the podcast makes it really easy to listen to. It’s fun without being overwhelming or over the top. Great...Read full review »

Phenomenal. Phil and Alexa were great, and Phil and Will are just as amazing! I used to listen to RHAP, but then I found this podcast a few years ago. They are insightful, honest, and do it all for the COMMUNITY. A lot of the big survivor podcasts are very corporate nowadays… they will say every...Read full review »

If you aren’t listening to The Specialists you’re missing out!! I first found the specialists in 2016 when I finished my first season of Survivor in middle school and have stuck with them for 8 years now which is crazy! Phil has been an amazing host who isn’t shy on sharing his opinions and...Read full review »

Never miss an episode!! My go to for Survivor coverage. And I love that they’re expanding more into movies, other shows, etc

Oy
Should have “figured” it out BEFORE ”hitting” record. Terrible.
ChuckyB12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/24
Having Bret on your podcast was the worst decision! He’s so out of touch with life and honestly I can not stand him or his opinions. Worst episode I’ve ever listened too. Didn’t even finish it.
MandaPanda247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
I hadn’t listened in some time and recently gave their podcast another chance. Somehow the audio seems worse even though they’ve been podcasting for years. Might be time to invest in a better audio set up.

This season of podcast coverage has been extremely good and the best. It is so nice having you both together regularly and the guests are great. The power rankings are the best survivor podcast of the week and the recaps are so much better and focused than what else is out there. You guys put out...Read full review »

I enjoy the content but Alexa’s voice is way too quiet compared to Phil’s. The audio levels need to be matched before publishing. I turn up the volume to hear her then Phil talking hurts my ears
Bob LobLaw11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/23
This guy thinks by embracing his negative reviews that complain about him interrupting, being arrogant, and demeaning others means he can just keep doing what he is doing guilt-free. WRONG! He’s a total douche. Alexa, when she is given a chance to speak, is great. Dump Phil and could be good.
cats4survivor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
Love the content but the constant SWALLOWING by one of the hosts is so noticeable and annoying lol
office fan782 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
I love movie buff specialists. I need more movie content it’s so so good!!!
IAMSTRETCH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/22
Excellent interview with Xander. He really is an impressive player, and I hope some jury members feel stupid for not voting for him! 😅
RoseMiller98765 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/21
Stumbled across this while sampling survivor podcasts and I’m so glad I did. I really love how P&A approach talking about the game. Thoroughly enjoying the episodes. Thanks for the great entertainment! :)
SingItBack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/21
I feel like Phil and Alexa think we hate when they complain but really it’s SO VALIDATING to hear this all analyzed! Keep being honest :)
poorrichards via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/21
Each episode is exactly the same. They only have like 2 or 3 talking points and just keep repeating them every episode. (“He’s So meta, they’re playing very meta, everyone is meta now”) And it’s the premier of Season 41 recap episode and Alexa didn’t even watch the episode with sound? She spent...Read full review »
NWdawgfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/21
I love Alexa, but Phil’s constant complaining and grandstanding makes it tough to get through... if Phil doesn’t like a popular player that’s all you’ll hear about for half the podcast, it’s very annoying
connorfsank via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/21
Phil seems like a decent guy. But this podcast stinks. Phil has a personality and/or style of speaking that constantly leads to sermons and he is not at all factually correct. No one ever disagrees or calls him out. You could tell that dude John on the Challenge podcasts 2+2=5 and he’d say...Read full review »
Cfjbiifcko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
Listening to the winners throughout the seasons and they just spoiled season 40 talking about an entirely different season. I love this podcast and it’s one of my favorites but it’s a bummer getting multiple newer seasons ruined when you’re listening about older seasons :/ otherwise this is one...Read full review »

BIG Survivor Specialist fan! I’ve been listening to Phil and Alexa since preseason 39 and have been a devoted listener ever since. They put out great content and have a great rapport with each other. Their analysis for people who haven’t played the game is always nice to hear since most Survivor...Read full review »

I love the survivor specialists! I am so appreciative of you guys still doing content even with survivor cancelled! 10/10 reccomend!
ethanzohn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/20
Best podcast ever!!! Please continuing rewatching old seasons. Loving the China recaps!!!
louiselsitt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/20
There are roughly one million Survivor podcasts swirling around out there, and I do believe this is one of the best. Their episodes and commentary are a the most focused and accessible, in a world where Survivor commentary is often hours and hours long / often somewhat rambling. THAT SAID, having...Read full review »

Thoroughly enjoyed Rob, Alexa, Phil and Shannon. All my favourite Survivor analyst personalities on the same podcast - good job guys! So appropriate in these times when we should support every person, you lead by example! So cool. 😎
tristenza via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/02/20
Phil and Alexa get it! Cannot stop listening to this podcast. Great content and great takes in survivor! Also, I enjoy the bashing of edge of extinction. Every player to ever play hates it (except for one who won that game) and I love listening to them bash it, I agree with most of their survivor...Read full review »
erijohnson218 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/20
Big fan of this podcast and hearing Alexa and Phil’s breakdown of each episode and their great interviews with past contestants!
MB16384 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/20
New listener. Only reviewing bc it seems like some of you fools are rating this show 1 star based on some opinions of the hosts (edge of extinction). These folks are giving away content, low ratings can negatively effect a podcast. “Edge of Extinction is part of the game if you don’t like it than...Read full review »
NickyTats via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/20
SO. FREAKING. AMAZING. These two hosts breakdown the episode so well. As an avid fan of Survivor this podcast is the real deal. They even inspired me to start my own podcast on an app called ANCHOR it is titled SomeStuffAboutSurvivor. Please go download ANCHOR and listen you can even start your...Read full review »

I love listening to these the day after survivor because it kind of makes everything click for me and I really enjoy tuning in, I also really like the concept of power rankings.
Soccersara21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/20
Edge of extinction is part of the game, if you don’t like it, then stop watching. Hearing Phil whine about it every week has ruined this podcast for me. Also, the fanboy crush on Michelle Fitzgerald is so played out, either ask her out or move on. You guys used to be one of the best because...Read full review »
John the Isshu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/20
It’s time to accept that edge of extinction its a freaking part of the game! That scene was llng but important to many people. Stop too much extinction its part of the game! By now should be clear!
jennareli19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/20
What if everything is going to be different on edge of extinction???
itsmegianna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/20
Great podcast but Lex ruined the most recent episode for me. He is SO butthurt that he’s never one and still mad at Rob 15 years later. Please don’t have him on again.
esmereldi45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/20
My new favorite. Just discovered during all the pre-40 hype. Love this show, will not miss an episode.
Nicole1980 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/20
Was I supposed to know that this podcast included spoilers for season 40!?!? There was no warning. Very annoying. Robhasapodcast was the first to start podcasting about survivor and paved the way for all these other survivor podcast wannabes. And at the very least he does NOT include spoilers.
