Our Editor's Take

In MTV's Official Challenge Podcast, listeners can recap and relive all the drama from the reality TV series The Challenge. That show features reality stars from The Real World, Road Rules, and other such shows competing against each other.

Hosts Tori Deal and Aneesa Ferreira are both Challenge alumni. For a time, fellow ex-Challenge stars Da'Vonne Rogers and Devyn Simone joined them. The four made every recap engaging and enjoyable. But even when there are only two, the discussion is still fun. MTV's Official Challenge Podcast goes through everything related to the popular program.

In each episode, an eliminated contestant sits down with the podcast hosts. They go over strategy, tactics, and what it was like being on the show. Listeners can expect a breakdown of the politics, inside gossip, and new perspectives. MTV's Official Challenge Podcast answers questions on viewers' minds.

With big names come big revelations. Guests talk about their mistakes, regrets, and triumphs. They share what it was like to experience a shocking blindside. They let listeners in on what was going on between them and other participants. And if that's not personal enough, listeners can also send in questions.

The hour-long weekly episodes are wild, surprising, and hilarious. For lovers of all things Challenge, this series can be as entertaining as the TV version. Even for those who aren't big fans of the TV show, MTV's Official Challenge Podcast may be worth the listen. The major challenge will be to know when to switch off the program.
