How two friends built a Survivor podcast with a unique point of view (Andy & John, Purple Rock Survivor Podcast) [Podcast Format Series #3]

The Wit & Wire Podcast - A podcast by Melissa Guller

Categories:

Seven years ago, Andy & John started The Purple Rock Survivor Podcast after meeting each other in an online forum. It is - in their words, not mine - “The smartest, funniest, most humble, and best Survivor podcast on the internet.” As a massive Survivor nerd myself, I tend to agree, and I consider their spoiler-free complete season ranking to be the absolute truth. 

In this episode, Andy and John share...

  • How they met and started their Survivor podcast 7 years ago
  • How they manage production with a group of 4-6 people per episode, none of whom live in the same place
  • How online forums have played a big role in their podcast growth
  • Why they don’t interview many Survivor players (by choice)
  • How they keep their community engaged beyond the podcast (like their Survivor fantasy league)
  • The importance of having a real point of view as a podcaster
  • Why more women aren’t getting into podcasting
  • How they keep things fun (because isn’t that the point?) :)
