Dial-A-Myth is a podcast that explores myths, unusual beliefs, and weird history from the perspective of an obsessive amateur to figure out why they fascinate us and why they matter.
Episode 2 of Dial-a-Myth explores Forrest Fenn's treasure. Several years ago, Forrest Fenn, an art collector living in New Mexico, hid a 42-pound treasure chest somewhere north of Santa Fe. Since then, over 65,000 people have hunted for the treasure and experienced the thrill of the chase.

This introductory podcast explains the concept and approach behind Dial-A-Myth. (Note: I got a little excited and referred to one of Barthes' essays being about boxing. It's about wrestling, which makes it even better. I meant it when I said I would bastardize the man.)
