Rob Has a Podcast (RHAP) is an entertainment podcast hosted by former Survivor contestant Rob Cesternino. The podcast primarily provides coverage of strategy-based reality television shows Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race. In the past, RHAP covered The Celebrity Apprentice, several scripted shows, and other miscellaneous reality shows directly. However, as RHAP has grown, its coverage of scripted shows and miscellaneous reality shows has moved to RHAP's spin-off podcasts, Post Show Recaps and Reality TV RHAP-ups, respectively.
Cesternino started RHAP in 2010, in order to cover Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains and the final season of Lost. He continually expanded the show over the next several years, adding coverage of Big Brother, The Amazing Race and The Celebrity Apprentice. In 2011, he began adding more live coverage using YouTube's Google Hangout feature. The show expanded further with the addition of the weekly "Survivor Know-It-Alls" segment with co-host Stephen Fishbach, during Survivor: Philippines in 2012. In 2014, Cesternino was able to move to podcasting full-time, earning a living through monthly contributions from voluntary "patrons," advertisements, corporate sponsorships, affiliate products, and side projects like his audiobook series, The Evolution of Strategy.
When Survivor is on the air, Cesternino records several podcasts each week. The first, "Survivor Know-It-Alls," airs live, directly following the Wednesday night broadcast of the Survivor episode. Cesternino co-hosts "Survivor Know-It-Alls" alongside runner-up Stephen Fishbach. Together, the two break down the night's episode and make predictions for the rest of the season. When Fishbach returned to compete on Survivor: Cambodia in 2015, Josh Wigler of Parade filled in for him on "Survivor Know-It-Alls". Fishbach is slated to return to "Survivor Know-It-Alls" in 2016 for season 32, Survivor: Kaoh Rong.
