For 48 seasons and counting, the CBS reality-TV show Survivor has delivered incisive social commentary, unmatched by its peers. Now, as it begins its 49th season, we're asking and answering the question that everyone from Survivor diehards to Larry David has been wondering for nearly 25 years: Is Survivor Jewish?
Join our fast-growing audience for laughs, words of Torah, and an exploration of identity like no other.
Non-Jews and non-Survivor-fans encouraged to enjoy.
Judy and Yoni mourn (or celebrate) the end of Survivor 50 by kibbetzing a bit about how their feelings about the season changed as it went on, comparing that to Jewish reactions to history. Then, we go live to their finale watch party where they and some special guests chaotically react live to every twist, intentional and otherwise. "Fire Jeff?"
Thanks for following along for another season! Stay tuned for an extremely special guest episode coming soon...

A Beast Among Men
"Welcome to Survivor, Mr. Beast." What did those words do? What metaphysical energy did they bring into the Survivor universe? What does it mean for Survivor when an outsider suddenly gains immense power?
Yoni and Judy answer those questions and more, ultimately revealing how Mr. Beast's appearance on Survivor shook the foundation of the divine itself and how it might alter our conception of how power is used on Survivor.
Enjoy all of that, and then enjoy some laughs at the demise of Survivor's most notorious antisemite.

Blood Moons on the Doorframe
After a dizzying several weeks of Survivor 50 twists, each of which have clear Jewish parallels, Yoni and Judy take the mics to banter about what Season 50 has delivered so far -- Jewish and secular. Among other scintillating topics, they discuss Coach's characters and what they mean for the Jews, the Survivor editors joining the Talmudic tradition, and the Seder-Survivor pipeline.
Enjoy the latest installment as you get ready for the home stretch of Survivor 50!
