I'M A SURVIVOR

HOW THE GOLDEN GOD BOUNCED BACK AFTER TOUGH REALITY TV STINTS

After two back-to-back stints on Australian Survivor – including his win on All Stars which aired earlier this year – Perth-based model David Genat, 40, tells WHO his body was “smashed”. And while the global pandemic has caused Genat to press pause on his postSurvivor TV career plans for now, he has spent the time physically and mentally repairing – and keeping himself busy with the launch of his podcast The Golden Godcast. “It’s a deep dive into all things Survivor,” he says. “Even now, six months after the show wrapped, people stop me to talk about the show; I get messages from fans overseas, it’s crazy.” Guests so far have included Pia Miranda, Guy Leech and Mat Rogers as well as other celebrity friends.

“The podcast started out as a fun thing to do in lockdown,” Genat says. “It ended up proving to be a really good creative outlet too. “

It’s almost six months since you became the Sole Survivor – what’s life been like since that win?
