Captivating with cringe

“Forrest’s treasure is great subject matter. It’s a wonder it hasn’t been covered more extensively. The podcast is well done in the sense it draws you in and I applaud the producer/narrator’s ambition.
The cringe factor for me is the exploitation of the subjects in the doc. It prods for drama. Ironically, uncovering the real story is done at the expense of destroying its subjects - like a archeological dig done poorly. Take the interrogation of Forrest himself. The creator of the pod was granted an interview with FF and went full Maury Povich trying to stir up drama with him. Agree or disagree with FF lifelong motivations or the ethics of treasure hunting in general, but there is a certain responsibility that comes with the access this podcaster was granted. Demonstrate some journalistic respect in letting the story unfold. Don’t badger the subjects for the sake of content or drama. I get that it might “make for a better story” for some, but to me it was an overreach. I doubt the subjects of this work would be pleased with being included in hindsight. While that’s not required of a good doc, it feels a little slimy for a story that didn’t need any adulteration to be good. I found myself annoyed as much as I was entertained.”

“enjoying this podcast into the human psyche, little troubling what people will do for money and the chase. Maybe a second poem could be written to help one get closer or narrow down the area. Hope there really is a treasure at the end of this rainbow. I hope Darell is able to find his way out...”Read full review »

“Peter is really good at painting this story and isn’t afraid to challenge the key players. The production and editing is phenomenal.”
