Produced by Calvary Audio, ‘X Marks the Spot: The Legend of Forrest Fenn’ is a podcast about a treasure hunt that went on for a decade in the American Southwest desert. Forrest Fenn fought in the Vietnam war and then returned to Santa Fe to open an art gallery with his wife, selling art to notable celebrities throughout the decades. In 1988 he was diagnosed with cancer and decided to create a treasure hunt as his legacy, taking 20 years to finalize the plans and location of his treasure. Publishing a memoir in 2010 with hidden clues, he fomented a frantic treasure hunt resulting in deaths, crimes, and cloaked in mystery. The podcast features die-hard treasure hunters who provide insight into the twisted tale of adventure, including learning all about what an enigma Forrest Fenn really was. This is a great evening winter listen to cozy up on the couch and race alongside the treasure hunters - no spoiler alert here, you’ll have to listen to find out the rest.
