Hello Pretenders,

I've been working on this story since season one. Remember Sharon McConnell-Dickerson, the blind artist from Mississippi? She returns to Pretend Radio to tell us about her friend Bo Icler and how he got sucked into a con artist's web. It's a pretty disturbing story. I hope you enjoy it. 

Thanks again for all your support.

    Need a distraction from the election? Check out the latest Treasure Hunter episode. This is a long one. It's so long that I decided to split it in half. Stay tuned for part 4. In this episode, Michael Torres discovers "a mass Jewish grave." But is it what he thinks it is? And I talk to the CEO of Seafarer Exploration to figure out why he hasn't found a single treasure in 13 years. I hope everyone is safe, sane, and smiling. Cheers,Javier
