Rob Has a Podcast[]
Survivor[]
Josh first appeared on Rob Has a Podcast during Survivor: One World, when he was then covering it for MTV. He then began to blog for Rob Has a Website during Survivor: Caramoan, Survivor: Blood vs. Water, and Survivor: Cagayan with his column "Wiggle Room." Starting in Cagayan, Wigler began to cover Survivor for Parade Magazine. Due to his journalist experience, he has covered for Rob on several Survivor podcasts, such as Vytas Baskuaskas's exit interview in Blood vs. Water, an episode of Know-it-Alls during Survivor: Worlds Apart, and both Andrew Savage's exit interview and a recap podcast with Marty Piombo during Cambodia.
Due to his work with Rob on The Evolution of Strategy (see below), Wigler was chosen to step in on Survivor Know-it-Alls during Cambodia due to fellow Know-it-All Stephen Fishbach competing on the season. During the filming of Cambodia, he also got to go out on location to interview the cast and production team and take part in several challenges.
Wigler has appeared on the voicemails segment of recap podcasts during Blood vs. Water[2], Cagayan[3], San Juan Del Sur[4], and Worlds Apart[5].
