Shilling for Killing Eve with Sadie Holloway

As Jodie Comer steals our suitcase, Sandra Oh steals the show, and #Villaneve steal our heart, we invited Canada's own Sadie Holloway to talk all things Killing Eve: the twisted and enthralling relationship at the heart of the show, how ambitious it really is in pushing the boundaries of the TV crime thriller, and the creative yet enigmatic genius of Phoebe Waller-Bridge. You can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

Surviving Life as a RTV Loved One with Kristin Abbate

For most reality TV fans, the contestants' loved ones are a fleeting distraction: they appear on cue from some jungle clearing or TV monitor, tug your heartstrings as required, and then disappear for good. For the loved ones themselves, those contestants going on TV leaves a massive void in their lives and can permanently change those relationships - for better or for worse. With so much attention focused on the games and their players, these perspectives are rarely found in the commentary. We did our part to fix that by chatting to Kristin Abbate, wife of Survivor: Ghost Island star Domenick and target of the fanbase's ire for being too candid about the strain that his absence put on their family. What happens when a parent and provider vanishes with no explanation? How does it feel to have hordes of internet stranges calling you a terrible wife and mother? And just what silliness do the loved ones get up to behind the scenes? Kristin takes the floor on this episode, available below, here, or on iTunes here.

Survivor 36: Season In Review

(Take the survey here)

After constantly saying we'd podcast about the finale and never following through, we finally made a big move. With the new F4 format making its mark on the game in perhaps the most competitive finals ever, how do Wendell and Dom compare to each other and the all-time greats - and are these comparisons even possible? Does the crazy finish redeem this season? And will we remember it more fondly than we do now? All this and more in our wrap-up for this season, available below, here, or on iTunes here.
