Special guest today (on this very late episode, whoops, sorry!). Lauren's mom was visiting and she is also a Survivor fan so she gave her thoughts on the season and some Survivor thoughts in general during the first ten minutes of the show. Also Chris missed the first half of the episode so he got to have Lauren and Kyel explain what happened. Def an interesting ep of WPF! Theme music: "Kemushi" by Jon Björk Twitter: @wpfpod email: worthplayingforpodcast[at]gmail[dot]com Recap of Survivor 42, Ep 2.

New season is heeeeeeeere! We're loving some of these new players and it feels like this going to be a great cast. Also, we go on some wild tangents, but what else is new? SURVIVOR'S BACK, BAYBEE. Also, one host is particularly mean to another host this episode and I'm not naming names but it should be obvious... divorce!

Shorter, minisode this week, as we were all traveling for the holidays, and recorded on cell phones so the quality isn't our normal standard. Chris and Lauren are up first, then we bring it home with Kyel. Wild ep, we're still processing it. Theme music: "Kemushi" by Jon Björk Twitter: @wpfpod email: worthplayingforpodcast[at]gmail[dot]com Recap of Survivor 41, Ep 10.

The title of the ep does give away something. But I'm sure you'll still listen. Episode edited by Matt Smith (ig: @notthatmattsmith / tw: @GungaDin) Theme music: "Kemushi" by Jon Björk Twitter: @wpfpod email: worthplayingforpodcast[at]gmail[dot]com Recap of Survivor 41, Ep 9.
