In this final episode of 2025 of "Beyond the Torch," we welcome Anthony Robinson, a memorable castaway from Survivor: Fiji, for a deep dive into his experiences both on and off the show. The conversation weaves through Anthony’s journey as a self-described "BLERD" (Black nerd), his unique path to being cast, the challenges of representation and stereotypes on reality TV, and the emotional impact of Survivor on his life. The episode also touches on the power of fandom, the realities of online interactions, and Anthony’s post-Survivor adventures in immersive theater and gaming. Listeners are treated to candid reflections, humorous anecdotes, and thoughtful discussions about identity, vulnerability, and personal growth. This is our final episode for this year, but we will be back in January with some brand new episodes Beyond the Torch!
