With Christmas around the corner, healthcare economist Mike Botta joins Dom again to unwrap the hundreds of layers of nonsense around the American healthcare system and demystify healthcare policy in general; and, as the Grinch's tax bill strikes down the individual mandate, we look at the political struggle over healthcare reform and where it's likely to go from here. As always, you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here. The Lie Factory

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've seen the hysteria over Bitcoin's meteoric rise in value (and probably kicked yourself for not buying some years ago). We invited our longtime friend and cryptocurrency expert Daniel McNally to explain what the fuss is about, why the underlying blockchain technology is so important, and whether this recent surge is sustainable or just another bubble that's primed to pop. You can listen below, here, or on iTunes here. Blockchain is Overhyped and Misunderstood

We're making up for a long absence by breaking down an action-packed double-eviction week. Did Mike get greedy by winning HoH, and did he use it well? Will James ever be the same after Janelle brutalized him? And as yet another detractor walks out the door, just why is Janelle so hated? All this and more on this episode, available below, here, or on iTunes here.

The royal wedding may be overshadowed as King Ben prepares to reclaim his throne, but can the coronation still be cancelled? With yet more twists threatening to upend the game, is the integrity of the show under threat? And what should we hope and expect to happen on Wednesday night? All this and more on this week's show, available below, here, or on iTunes here.

In the most #epicblindside of the season, this week's show comes to you the same week of the actual episode. Ben may have saved himself for a round, but does he have a path to the end - and can he even win if he makes it? Why was everyone gunning for him in the first place? And is the case for Devon finally clear, or is the truth still out there? All that and more on this week's show, available below, here, or on iTunes here.  

The round table has collapsed, JP and the other guy are gone, and the edit zone is leaking again. We cover an action-packed double bill of Survivor in our latest episode available below, here, or on iTunes here.

Safely home in Old England and New England respectively, Dom and Colin are finally back together to dive deep into the latest Survivor action, plus waste plenty of time on outdated action they weren't able to debate when it was relevant. As always you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

With both Colin and Dom's microphone out this week, this episode comes to you via two cans on a string from another dimension (aka England). The audio quality may be bad but the content is good, as psychologist Amanda Rabinowitz drops by to discuss the backlash against Chrissy, the new twists springing up every episode, and an interesting approach to quantifying edit analysis. As always you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

Some listeners reported problems listening to this episode on iTunes and other platforms, so hopefully this will do the trick.

With Dom out looking for new ways to avoid England, Colin is joined by Survivor: Maryland creator Austin Trupp to break down the merge dynamics and talk through each player's story thus far. Plus, another haphazard Edit Zone monologue and a bonus interview with a living/breathing casual fan when you listen below, here, or on iTunes here. Austin -- 2:04 Anna -- 1:24:30 Edit Zone -- 1:47:45
