Is there any greater club to join than the David Haas Fan Club? Seriously, this club is the best club. You get all the perks of watching an incredibly smart, funny and great man who knows what he is doing and just wants to be a leader and get rid of all the nice people. He even will wash his (limited) hair in fish water to keep you entertained. Not sold? Well after listening to the episode this week we are pretty sure you will be, because besides wanting to drink a nice cold can of Solo, all you'll want to do is talk and think about the incredibly beautiful and smart man that is David Haas. You're welcome Australian Survivor fans, you're welcome.

17 years after she created International Survivor history, Lucinda Walters returns to the spotlight to give an insight into her three day adventure on Australian Survivor in 2002. Lucinda doesn't hold back in being honest and upfront with just exactly what she expected when playing the show and why she even applied in the first place, detailing the entire process and revealing a surprising story about a twist in her audition video that could've opened the door for an exciting Survivor twist. She also lets us in on which contestant she found out she had a very personal connection with after the game, and lets us know what she thinks about being a Survivor record holder. We should also sell this episode on the fact that you have a third of all the first boots in the history of Australian Survivor on one episode. It's like comic-con for first boots basically. It's that exciting.

Our first episode recap is here as we go through the very first episode in the history of Australian Survivor and welcome ourselves back to Whalers Way! We welcome special guest Cable Sage to the show to help us talk about it and discover how watching this episode was so different in 2002. We also try and find a way to see if the bad in this episode can actually be redeemed and possibly work out a solution to just why that infamous first challenge wasn't ever considered to be re-shot. There is also some personal discovery around host impersonations as well as praising Queen Katie, questioning whether Sylvan really wanted to be there and celebrating the genius that is David. So get your G-Code set and your myths about snakes prepared as we finally get cracking into the very first season of Australian Survivor!

Three episodes in and we're pulling in the big names to interview? GO US! It's a pleasure to be able to bring you a chat with the OG host of Australian Survivor Lincoln Howes, as he gives an amazing insight just into what it was like hosting the show and how he feels about his place in Australian Survivor history. There are also plenty of questions around what went wrong, what went right as well as some exciting news that may just see him return to the show nearly two decades later. Is that enough of a teaser for you? Because seriously, this interview is awesome. Just make sure you give his boat back, okay?

As we move into our second episode and re-introduce you to season 1, we have to ask the most pressing question ever: just where the hell is Ben Dark? Seriously, the guy introduced himself into the world of Australian Survivor on a vine and stole our hearts and 17 years later he is missing. We're worried okay? Don't judge us. And if you do judge us, then make sure it's judging us on this episode. Because you're going to learn a lot about Whalers Way. A lot. You'll also learn just why there is a random woman dressed as a cat somewhere that is seemingly relevant to both Australian Survivor and the very first season. And there is also the possibility of learning a whole lot more about the behind the scenes stories that happened to make the very first season of Australian Survivor in 2002 happen. We just hope that with all that education you'll be able to use it to help us find Ben Dark once you're done listening. Come on Mr Dark, it's time to come home...

Welcome to the debut episode of Australian Survivor Archives! Join Ben Waterworth & the second greatest first boot in the history of Australian Survivor Matt Dyson as they introduce you to the show, detailing just exactly it is what we're trying to achieve with this podcast and bring their own stories about how they came to fall in love with (and somehow be qualified to talk about) Australian Survivor. There is even a couple of challenges set straight away that our listeners can get involved in immediately, one of which is actually enticing and the other is probably a little too scary to really make you care about. So what are you waiting for? Let's start this journey from the very beginning as we begin our epic quest to chronicle the entire history of the show that is Australian Survivor!
