Beast Games Book Club Week 1 Welcome to RHAP’s coverage of MrBeast’s “Beast Games.” Known for his over-the-top challenges and jaw-dropping production value, MrBeast has leveled up with this competitive extravaganza that brings massive stakes, outrageous games, and a cast of unforgettable contestants. Join Rob Cesternino, Stephen Fishbach, and Taran Armstrong as they dig into Beast Games Season 2, covering episodes 1 through 3. The panel, packed with reality TV expertise, unpacks the strong versus smart team theme, the rapid-fire challenge structure, and the shifting strategies that play out in the Mr. Beast universe. With familiar faces from Survivor and other reality shows entering the fray, the discussion quickly turns to the high-stakes decisions, alliances, and the unique pacing of this “expect the unexpected” competition. Across the first three episodes, Rob, Stephen, and Taran analyze how contestants react to the ever-changing landscape of Beast Games. They compare the unpredictable style of Mr. Beast's challenges with the more formulaic formats of Survivor and Big Brother, highlighting how players navigate split-second choices and offers to walk away with life-changing amounts of money. The panel debates whether experience or raw strength wins out when teams are split, digging into specifics like the tower-building challenge and the early exits of some reality TV legends. Key moments and insights include: Deliberations on whether to take the money or stick with the team, including personal “walk-away numbers” from each host The metagame of boosting your reality TV profile—with comparisons to playing for invites on future shows The showmance between two contestants and how budding relationships unfold in high-pressure, fast-moving environments Survivor alums Jesse Lopez's quick exit and Sue Smay's continued presence, plus speculation about the potential Survivor crossover in Fiji Analysis of challenge design, from physical obstacle courses to alliance-driven bluffing games, and how game structures shape decision-making With Beast Games venturing to Survivor's home turf and more tough choices ahead, challenges to team loyalty and individual ambition take center stage. Can strong or smart players gain the upper hand as the cast shrinks and the stakes get even higher?

Today, Taran speaks with creators of Jet Lag, Adam Chase and Ben Doyle about this season of Jet Lag Tag: All Stars

Taran from the United States shares her journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), which began in 2015 when she suddenly passed out at work, becoming bedridden for six months. Despite being very active beforehand, she was left confused and distressed. After researching online and consulting with a cardiologist, Taran received diagnoses for POTS and EDS. For several years, they underwent a trial-and-error approach to treatment. In September 2024, Taran's mother discovered low-dose naltrexone (LDN) as a potential treatment, leading Taran to a primary care physician specializing in EDS. Nervously, she started LDN at a low dose and experienced significant pain and fatigue relief within days. After finding their optimal dose at 4.5 mg, Taran described the medication as a life-changing experience.Reflecting on her childhood, Taran recalls having eczema, random rashes, and food sensitivities, which went unnoticed due to their active lifestyle. Overall, she express gratitude for LDN and its impact on managing her symptoms.

Martin Simpson is a true icon of the global acoustic music scene. As a guitarist, he has done a huge amount to push the boundaries of the acoustic steel string instrument - showing it can be an expressive and lyrical voice. As a songwriter, he is a masterful storyteller whose poignant lyrics are shared with a disarmingly gentle, no-frills delivery that makes those of us who grew up in the North of England very glad to have done so, and everyone who didn't wish that they had.    Throughout his career, Martin Simpson has been a vocal proponent of luthier-made guitars - from his early adoption of the work of Northumberland's Stefan Sobell and Cumbria's Fylde Guitars to his championing of the next generation of British lutherie with instruments by Taran Guitars in Scotland and Turnstone Guitars in England.    It is no exaggeration to say that Martin Simpson's musicality and expectations from a guitar have informed the voice of the modern steel-string guitar, perhaps more than any other player. This is very cool indeed.    During my visit to Martin's home, I had the good fortune to record him playing slide on his Taran guitar. You can watch that video here https://youtu.be/eFJK1zvmPc0, as well as exploring my own instrument by Casimi guitars https://youtu.be/45WnYusgR4w   This episode of Life On The Fretboard is brought to you with the kind sponsorship of the author John Stubbings, whose new novel 'The Guitar Detective' is a beautiful companion piece to his debut ouvre 'The Devil Is In It.'  You can get your copy of 'The Guitar Detective' right here: https://orpharionpress.com   You can learn more about Martin Simpson here: https://martinsimpsonmusic.com https://www.youtube.com/@MartinSimpsonOfficial https://www.instagram.com/martinsimpsonmusic   You can learn more about my work here: https://www.michaelwattsguitar.com https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelWatts https://www.instagram.com/michael.watts.guitar/   Be advised that the conversation does contain some adult language.   Subscribe to Fretboard Journal here https://www.fretboardjournal.com.
