Expanded Reality TV | Erik Reichenbach (Survivor)

Expanded Reality TV is a podcast where improv comedians create absurd audio performances based on behind-the-scenes stories of real reality television stars, building new weird worlds from the things that people don't see when watching their favorite "unscripted" TV shows. Episode #4 features an interview with Erik Reichenbach, an iconic two-time contestant on the reality television show SURVIVOR (and a fantastic artist who created Real Fake Things, a graphic novel memoir about his experiences on Survivor)! Inspired by Erik's interview, our ensemble will take you on a deep dive into Bathroom Alliances, the town of Heaven (in Missouri), the new Yogi Bear x "Is It Cake?" crossover show, popcorn acid trips, Real Housewives of San Antonio, chicken bone drama, Donna Haraway, bear betrayals, and a whole lot of dunking on academics (by two of our ensemble members who are actually full-time professors*).
