SHOW NOTES

Survival shows have become super popular with a specific demographic of folks. Bubba and Kate just happen to be in that group. What is it about these shows that makes them nerd out on people’s suffering? Do shows like Survivor and Alone take what is supposed to be a game way too far?

That’s what they want to talk about this week on the Free Play podcast for the Season 7 premiere.
