Survivor Sleep Hygiene w/ Stephen Fishbach
Episode description
Sophia Wilson Pelton and KP Parker welcome two-time Survivor player and author Stephen Fishbach to talk sleep on the island, strategic storytelling, and the practice of painting miniatures.
Sleep Hygiene, But Make It Warhammer: Stephen shares his surprisingly soothing bedtime routine involving painting Warhammer miniatures.
Bamboo vs. Hammock: What does sleep look like on Survivor? Think uneven bamboo poles, monsoon rains, and if you’re lucky: a fishing net hammock under the stars.
