New podcast episodes will go live each Wednesday at the conclusion of that week’s broadcast of SURVIVOR, which regularly airs Wednesdays, 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and is available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

“I’m very excited to share that, for the first time in 22 years, we’re doing an official SURVIVOR podcast,” says host and executive producer Jeff Probst. “We’re going to go inside the making of SURVIVOR from the producers’ point of view [for] the how we do what we do, and the why. I think of it like a companion piece to the show. It’s something we’ve thought about doing in years past but this season is so good, it just felt like the perfect time.”
