Rob Has a Podcast is celebrating our 15th-anniversary! This podcast kicks off a three-part series celebrating RHAP’s journey since its inception on February 12, 2010. Rob invites 15 friends to share their favorite moments from RHAP lore, offering listeners a nostalgic trip through the podcast’s early years.  Today, we look at 5 moments from the first 5 years.

The episode begins with Mary Kwiatkowski, who highlights the 2011 Rebecca Black “Friday” podcast. This early viral hit marked RHAP’s foray into pop culture discussions beyond Survivor. Mary recalls how this episode, filled with humor and cultural references, became a memorable part of RHAP history.

Next, Mike Bloom revisits the Miss Survivor and Mr. Survivor pageants, which ran from 2012 to 2015. These fan-driven events filled the gap between Survivor seasons, engaging the community in a unique way. Mike shares anecdotes about the pageants’ evolution and the controversies that arose, including the #OccupyRHAP campaign.

Haley Strong takes us back to the 2013 RHAPy Holidays special, where a prank call with Randy Bailey became an iconic moment. This segment, scripted and executed with precision, left fans questioning its authenticity for years.

Sasha Joseph explores the impact of Survivor: San Juan del Sur on RHAP’s comedic style. The season introduced the soundboard and memorable moments like the “Who’s Muffin?” incident, showcasing RHAP’s ability to blend humor with Survivor analysis.

Finally, Shannon Guss reflects on the Survivor: Second Chances voting experience in 2015. This interactive event allowed fans to vote for returning players, creating an electric atmosphere and deepening the connection between RHAP and its audience.
