Josh Gwynn digs into the reality show that marooned 40 kids in the desert, and shares his favourite podcasts Podcast Playlist

This week on Podcast Playlist, Leah is joined by Josh Gwynn, host of the new CBC podcast Split Screen: Kid Nation. 

The podcast revisits the 2007 reality TV show Kid Nation, where 40 children were left in the desert to fend for themselves for more than a month. Through interviews with former contestants, producers and parents, Josh tries to piece together how this show actually got made, and what impact it had on those kids now that they’re all grown up. 

We’ll hear from Josh about that show’s legacy. Plus, we’ll listen to some of his favourite podcasts.

Featuring: Split Screen: Kid Nation, Today Explained, The Stoop, Classy, Scam Goddess
