Idol Chatter: A Survivor Podcast

We kick off our re-watch of Survivor Season 29 Blood vs. Water 2 with a recap of Episode 1! We meet all of the players including some now-favorites of the show (lookin' at you, Keith). We discuss the pairs, the tribes, exile island and of course, we share our weekly luxury items include Normal People on Hulu and once again, Guy's Grocery Games.

It's been a month since our last episode! In this episode, we catch up on where we've been and what we've been doing: learning a lot and educating ourselves on anti-racism, buying a house, and working hard at our jobs. We believe that Black lives matter and we share ways we hope to be more inclusive and anti-racist with this podcast moving forward. We talk about the work many Black Survivor alumni have been doing to try and make the show more inclusive and why it matters. If you're a diehard Survivor fan who hates banter and chit-chat, this may not be the episode for you! We spend roughly an hour talking about healthy eating, adult acne and all of the shows and podcasts we've been into lately. We do a deep dive into Bachelor Nation drama and we're sorry not sorry about it.
