Hey everybody, Jeff Probst here. I am the host and showrunner of Survivor, and I've got great news. On Fire, the only official Survivor podcast is back. We're going to bring you inside Survivor 49 like no other podcast can. Here's how it works. Every week, right after the episode, we pull back the curtain and we talk about the how and the why, why we built

the game the way we did. How did that twist come to life? Really showing you what's happening behind

the scenes while you're watching at home. I don't do it alone. I've got two incredible partners.

First up, my regular co-host, he's there every week. He is the executive producer of this

podcast and he is our resident super fan

fan, Jay Wolf. Hello, Jay. Trying to earn the super in the fan title six seasons later. I cannot

be more excited to bring back on fire. And just for those of you who are new here, my job is simple.

It's BU. Ask the questions that the fans are screaming at their TVs on Wednesday night

and the ones they're debating with their friends the following morning. And listen, if you want to put

Jeff on the hot seat, I'm your guy. Get in touch. I'm going to do it for you. So you've got my

perspective as a producer. You have Jay's perspective from the fan. And then we bring in a third

point of view, a player's point of view. We've had some amazing co-host, former players in the past. We've had winners. We've had people who've dominated in challenges. We've had players who were great strategists. This season, I think it's fair to say we have somebody who has all of those. And here's the reason. There's a lot of excitement around Survivor 50,

and there should be. It's going to be very fun. But that's the first returning player season of the

new era. And one really interesting aspect is that will be the first time that we have old era

players coming in to take on the new era game. So Jay, you had the great ideal. For 49, let's get a legend from the old era.

Somebody who knows how the game is played, somebody who dominated,

then they can help speak to the challenges that are going to come from an old era player

trying to transition into the gap between the old era and the new era.

So we got somebody great.

I'll give you some clues.

He has competed in three different seasons.

He is arguably one of the most respected players in the history of our game.
