Survivor Micronesia's and Caramoan's Erik Reichenbach Beyond the Torch

April 28, 2026·1h 6m
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of Beyond the Torch, Todd & Leslie welcome Erik Reichenbach — known for one of the most iconic moments in Survivor history, giving up his immunity necklace in Micronesia — who shares his journey from a college track athlete who applied on a whim, through his two seasons on the show, to his current life as a graphic designer and comic artist under the brand "Dabu Doodles." The conversation weaves through the COVID-era Survivor renaissance, the psychological toll and unexpected growth that comes from public failure, his memoir about his Survivor experience, and his thoughtful perspective on why he refuses to see himself as "Poor Erik" — concluding that he came away from the game "very rich, just not financially."Special thanks to the best Whiskey on the Planet Watertown Whiskey!
