Introducing Missed Fortune

In 2010, retired art dealer Forrest Fenn hid a bronze chest worth roughly $1 million somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. The only way to find it? Deciphering clues in a poem he published in his autobiography. Hundreds of thousands of searchers went looking. But few risked more on their hunt than a former cop from Seattle named Darrell Seyler.

Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) hosts a mind-bending real-life story of reincarnation and a spooky tale of family secrets. In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock makes a sensational prophecy: His dead daughters will be reborn. At first, even his own wife says he’s a crank. But then she gives birth to twin girls who have uncanny similarities to their sisters who died. Suddenly, the world sits up and takes notice. Pollock’s prophecy attracts the attention of a serious American scientist who crosses the Atlantic countless times to study the twins. And his conclusion is astonishing. So, what if death is only the beginning? Extrasensory goes in search of the two people who know the truth—the twins themselves. Extrasensory is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House.

Great story and well told. The second I started paying attention to the hosts deep breaths at the beginning of each sentence I couldn’t I unhear it. A little editing to take it out and it’s gold.

I listened to the first 3 episodes and read transcripts of the rest. First, criticism: Listeners will notice that the narrator does not treat Forrest with the same humanity that he treats everyone else. It’s clear that he doesn’t like Forrest. You can make up your own mind whether that’s warranted. Yes, the story goes too long but that’s normal for podcasts. Idk why but they all take a 3-episode story and turn it into 9-10. The praise: I had never heard of the treasure hunt and this was a fun way to learn about it. I thought the narrator was funny at times. The episode recaps were a nice touch and it was nice that he credited everyone at the end of every episode. I can tell a lot of people worked hard on this show.
