”Did You Push My Passport Off The Ledge?” (with Jen Hudak)

Michael & Logan return to kick off the interview series by talking to Season 30’s Jen Hudak. In this episode: We’ve been slighted! There’s an exclusive non-pregnancy announcement. What happens when you come back from the Race? Logan & Jen compare surgeries. We discuss a little of what’s coming for 31. How much of a fan is Jen? At what point was it evident that 30 was a Champions edition? Why are so many shows leaning on “inspirational” casting at the moment? Logan gets blog envy. Jen remembers some absurd criticisms. What guidance did CBS provide? What was the one instruction Logan gave pre-podcast? How is Jen like Gilles de Coster? How do you ensure you get a good edit? We decide on a theme for Season 32. Would 29 have been as compelling without Brooke & Scott? What locations were missing from 30? Why don’t we see India anymore? What happens with a language barrier? Was there any other team who we missed lots from? Logan laughs at his own jokes. Which bit of the podcast gives Jen the most anxiety? What happened with the final challenge? How important is it to debrief with your partner? Why was the partner swap a dud? How did overthinking nearly cost Kristi & Jen the Zimbabwe legs? We try and find the new “Jack Shack”. Where would Jen sleep if she returned for All-Stars? Jen introduces us to bison bars. Where would we want to go to? We compare airport stories. Jen tells us about her one night in Bangkok. We discuss the legend of Conor Daly. What was Jen’s favourite clip of the season? Are we optimistic for 31? We crack out a classic impression. Jen learns about The Mole. What other shows would Jen want to do? Logan stops being interesting. Which early boot had the most potential? How are things for April & Sarah? Jen picks apart an Amazing Race Canada bio. Why don’t we see Canadian shows do all-stars? We obviously talk Shahla & Nabeela. What did Jen think about the Double-Battle? How could you improve the two major twists of Season 30? And we exclusively find out who would have suffered if teams had booked their own flights.   Join us next week for another interview, this time with Michael Rado from Amazing Race 29!
