Episode 39 – Treasure Island Jul 05, 2019

Show notes

During the 1800s, the rising tide of revolt in South America forced the Viceroy of Lima to move thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of treasure and religious iconography to Mexico. Only, it didn’t make the journey, being stolen during a mutiny and hidden somewhere on Cocos Island, the purported inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island”. Ever since, the island has carried a reputation for buried pirate treasure…and a dangerous allure.

Episode 38 - To Catch a Panther Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

Since the early 2000s, a number of high stakes diamond heists have taken the world’s wealthiest cities by storm. At first, the only evidence connecting the robberies was the extravagant, theatrical, and meticulously planned heists that often saw the perpetrators eluding international authorities. Yet slowly but surely, a pattern began to emerge, pointing to the largest, anonymous diamond thieving ring in the world. Who are the Pink Panthers? Where did the come from? And where will they strike next?

Holiday Minisode: Gifts of the Magi Dec 24, 2018

Show notes

A little Christmas stocking stuffer of an episode! The Three Wise Men are common fixtures of most Nativity scenes, but the The Bible actually offers very little information on who they were and where they came from…

Episode 33 – Silk and Slaughter Dec 21, 2018

Show notes

Genghis Khan ushered in the 13th century of a tidal wave of carnage and conquest. Yet for all of the horrors attributed to the Mongol ruler, history paints a much more nuanced portrait of a rational, progressive, and open minded leader. Yet for someone who had garnered such notoriety, Genghis Khan’s death and subsequent burial is shrouded in legend and mystery. What is the truth, and is it wise to go looking for it?

Episode 32 - Legend of the Lost Dutchman's Mine Dec 05, 2018

Show notes

The Superstition Mountains of Arizona have inspired many tall tales of the American Southwest, but none more intricate and longlasting the Lost Dutchman’s Mine. Wrapped up in a tangled web of greed, colonization, and mysterious deaths, the missing mine may have multiple origins. But one thing is for certain: those who go looking for the lost gold often don’t come back at all…
