The Dom and Colin Podcast

Christmas is over, Survivor: Cambodia is in the books, and now all anyone seems to care about is Making a Murderer, but before we say goodbye to 2015, we're back to offer our parting thoughts on the finale, the cast, the winning game, and where the season stacks up historically. Could anything have been done to stop Jeremy, and where does his performance rank all-time? What can be made of Spencer's losing effort, and where did it all go wrong? What was the catalyst for such active game dynamics all season? And who's coming back for round three? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.

Pre-gaming always plays a crucial role in returnee seasons, yet Survivor fans have never had access to those critical back room dealings, relegated solely to exit interviews and invariably tainted by revisionist history. In today's episode, reality podcasting gets a dose of New School as Spencer Bledsoe joins us from May 2015 to break down his final thoughts in the sequester hotel the night before leaving for Cambodia. How did he prepare for his second time around? What were his overall goals within the game? Who was he thinking would actually be out there, who was he hoping to find on his tribe, and who was he hoping would be the early casualties?

And why is the Bangor public works department facing (wholly undeserved) criticism? All this and more on our final The Genius podcast, available below, here, or on iTunes here.
