Rob & Akiva Need a Podcast #110: Rob & Akiva Need a PR Firm

Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) need a podcast and every week, Rob and Akiva spin a wheel of listener-submitted podcast ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. This week, the wheel landed on the “Rob & Akiva Need a PR Firm,” which led to Rob and Akiva learning how to create their own public relations firm with RAANAP superfan and psychologist Dr. Amanda Rabinowitz (@DrAmandaR).

After Rob and Akiva create their PR firm, they go through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel and then spin the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 111.

Survivor | Outwit, Outplay, OutLIST | Most Noticeable Hats

Ready for a new podcast to kick off the Survivor off-season? Introducing Outwit, Outplay, OutLIST! A podcast where Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) nail down their official rankings of Survivor things. Each week, Rob and Mike will be joined by a special guest to rank different Survivor moments, objects, people, confessionals, and more. Some may call ranking arbitrary and reductive, but this is a podcast based on just that!

This week Rob and Mike are joined by RHAP Class of 2020 shining star, Chantele Francis (@Chan___Fran)! Alongside their knowledge of all-things Survivor, this podcasting trio is well-versed in the world of headwear. On today’s episode of Outwit, Outplay, OutLIST, we take a look back at the most noticeable hats in Survivor history. From Boston Rob’s iconic Boston Red Sox hat to Colby and Jerri’s duelling black and white cowboy hats on Survivor: Heroes vs Villains to Victoria Baamonde’s beanie (does this hat really have a place in Fiji?). Rob, Mike, and Chantele break down the good, the bad, and the ugly on this episode of Outwit, Outplay, OutLIST!

Are there any noticeable hats that didn’t make the cut that should have? If you were playing Survivor, what would your ultimate hat look like? Share all of your hat takes with us on Twitter by tagging @RobHasAPodcast and using the hashtag #RHAP!

Talking with T-Bird: Cindy Hall

For everyone who wanted more T-Bird in the Survivor off-season, your wish has been granted as we once again start up the series “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the twenty-ninth episode of “Talking with T-Bird”, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Cindy Hall.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Cindy Hall, a castaway from Survivor: Guatemala. On Survivor: Guatemala, Cindy started out on the Nakum tribe, quickly getting to the bottom of her tribe by being blindsided at the first vote. She managed to do what she needed to make it to the merge and stayed under the radar for a large part of the merge. She is the first castaway to win the Car Reward Challenge, and she decided to ignore the Car Curse and take a car for herself instead of giving her tribemates cars of their own. Cindy made it 37 days, ultimately becoming the fifth member of the jury, coming in fifth place.

You can check out Cindy’s statistics on the Survivor Wiki from her Survivor career here: Cindy Hall’s Survivor Wiki Profile.
