What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I enjoy listening to Phil and Will’s recap of each week’s Survivor episode. I enjoy their banter, their perspectives and it helps me to understand the game play of Survivor so much better. I’ve also enjoyed them recapping The Traitors. I hope this dynamic duo continue to podcast together because I prefer listening to their voices over other’s.

Real12thWoman · May 2025

It’s so impressive how much the Specialists know about Survivor right off the tops of their heads. They know so much minute detail about just about everyone who has played. In a world where everyone has a podcast about their favorite shows but don’t always pay attention to the shows they talk about, it’s refreshing that the Specialists know so much about just about every aspect of Survivor.

#notagging · May 2025

Always enjoy listening to the Survivor Specialists! I love the mix of recapping, talking through moves and what if scenarios, as well as the fun energy that the co-hosts bring. Can’t wait to listen to the season 49 and 50 coverage!

Gobstoppers rock · May 2025

Long time listener, finally leaving a review because Phill asked for it! Honestly tho, this is the best after show, transparent and non biased takes. Guest are amazing and even their commentary in other reality shows is great! Keep it up guys!
