EPISODE BEGINS
ϳԹ Podcast Theme: From ϳԹ Magazine and PRX, these are Dispatches, stories from our writers in the field.
Peter Frick-Wright (host):Have you ever seen a tiny dog chase a really big squirrel and thought to yourself, what's he gonna do if he catches that thing? Or, same question, watched your big dog disappear into the woods after a deer or elk, and thought, it's going to be really bad if he gets it? Well, here at ϳԹ, we come across a lot of stories where someone is chasing something, whether it's Sasquatch, buried treasure or a giant squid. There's always this unanswered question there that basically comes down to what are they going to do if they find it? Their life is not going to just go back to normal, maybe ever. Now in the case of treasure, you might think that's a good problem to have, but it's still a problem and it can actually be a pretty big one. If you look at some of the recent shipwreck discoveries with treasurer onboard people who have gone to jail or caused international incidents because they didn't handle it properly.
So what should you do if you find buried treasure? Lucky for us, there's a podcast devoted to questions like these called Every Little Thing. Our former producer, Phoebe Flanagan works there now and today I want to share two of their stories because they're about treasure and the craziest duct tape repair of all. You know, stuff you need to know to get through your day. The show is hosted by Flora Lichtman who zeroes right in on the kind of useless information that actually comes in handy at dinner parties. And the whole show is just generally a lot of fun. Anyway, these two stories are some of my Favorite Little Things in a while. So enjoy.
