*maniacal laugh* It’s time again for Will and Rider to venture into the castle and recap another episode of The Traitors Season 4.  Between her liberal use of the f-bomb and a penchant for indoor sunglasses, our hosts aren’t impressed with Lisa Rinna, but would they have sniffed out her mission if the clues weren’t so obvious? Rider gets flashbacks to Cabin Fever thanks to a challenge, but the real fear lies in Alan Cumming having to explains these confusing rules. Plus…are we headed toward a salmon-specific storyline?? The competition (and the fish) gets smoked on a new Pod Meets Twirl’d!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
