Episode 9 features Dino Paulo, the Sole Survivor of Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts (Season 9) who also previously competed on Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island (Season 8). Dino takes us through the experience of playing Survivor SA and how it compares and contrasts with US Survivor. He is able to describe the psychological experience of going through casting, losing and winning Survivor with exceptional insights. We find how playing Survivor in two different countries is different in a few ways, and yet how incredibly similar it is as a human experience of a lifetime.

Customer Reviews
Top Podcast for 2023
I’ve been thoroughly immersed in the world of interview shows and have been a devoted fan of Survivor for several years. This podcast brilliantly combines both elements, creating a compelling and captivating experience. I simply can’t get enough of the engaging conversations with past Survivor contestants, skillfully hosted by Kellyn from Survivor Ghost Island. Her ability to hold genuine conversations throughout the entire interview is truly commendable and a rarity in the field of interviewers.
Kellyn has excelled in bringing a diverse array of characters from past seasons onto the show, even reaching back to the early seasons, which has been a fantastic accomplishment. Having listened to eight episodes so far, I’m a bit concerned that the series might be coming to an end. I genuinely hope there are plans for more episodes in the future or a continuation in the next season. It would be a dream to hear Kellyn interview some of the legendary contestants like Jonny FairPlay, Coach, Debbie, Devin, and many others.
I wholeheartedly give this podcast a 5-star rating, and if I could, I would rate it even higher. It’s an absolute gem worth listening to!
Great podcast
Very well done. Rob says he could listen to J’Tia read the phone book. I could listed to Kellyn read the phone book or anything else. Very articulate and kind voice.
My only sad observation is the lack of peace I hear from so many. Grasping at “tools” to help them cope with life struggles. The peace that surpasses all understanding really is a gift that isn’t taken for granted.
Great job though to Kellyn and all her guests.
I love EVERYTHING about this podcast
Everyone Kellyn has interviewed has been so interesting and I loved learning so ma y new things. Listening to one of the interviews helped me understand why I didn’t enjoy one of the Survivor’s during their season and gave me a renewed perspective and i rewatched the season after understanding where they were coming from and it was a completely different experience.
I look forward to each episode and I really hope she continues doing this.
Kellyn, you are killing it and I love that you did this!!
