Summary
Shannon & Peter Guss: Pregnancy, Podcasting, & What’s Next | Pod Friends
This week’s Pod Friends season premiere guests are Shannon Guss (@shannongaitz) and her husband Peter Guss, the hosts of Gussin’ Around, joining Matt Scott (@MattScottGW) live in San Francisco to talk about love, self-worth, community, and the biggest chapter of their lives yet: becoming parents.
Shannon, host of Survivor Global and a familiar voice from Talking Tribal and behind the scenes of Survivor South Africa, and Peter, a longtime sports podcaster in his own right, open up about navigating doubt and joy while growing a family in the public eye. From pregnancy and partnership to fandom, vulnerability, and the RHAP community that helped shape them, this conversation is about what it really takes to believe in your story while everything is changing.
If you have ever wondered whether you are ready for what comes next, this episode is for you.
