Jess and Corey’s dad was not exactly the adventurous type. At least that’s what they thought until his past caught up with him.
Turns out, Dan, the anxious and overprotective middle school science teacher used to be a daring archaeologist and adventurer. Now this fractured, but loving family will have to work together to escape the bad guys, find a hidden treasure and overcome a family curse.
Starring Broadway and TV stars, Adam Godley, Christopher Sieber, Alexa Nisenson, and Banks Pierce.

I love this podcast :)
but, as a frequenter of GZM shows’s podcasts, I’m a little disappointed.
Honestly, it feels like they’re focusing all their efforts on Six Minutes and nothing else. Don’t get me wrong, I love SM, but I want more of OTHER pods, too. I want season 4 of Mars Patel and Season 2 Discovering Dad.
Plus, it doesn’t feel like the story is over. UDoMP (the Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel) and DD (Discovering Dad) deserve more. Maybe this review would be a full five stars if there was more, is all I’m saying. And I think a lot of people agree.
(and, yes, UDoMP and DD are my favorites (well, along with the Natureverse).)
Fruity :D · May 2025
Think Indiana Jones, but for families. It's fantastically produced, with enough fun for the kids and intrigue for the parents. Great adventures await!
I’m still Evo Terra · Nov 2024
This was a great podcast for a roadtrip and kept me entertained for hours. It was packed full of adventure and mystery. I hope you make a second season because this is an extraordinary pod!
NASA Swiftie · Oct 2024
I discovered this podcast while browsing for something new to listen to. It’s now one of my favorite podcasts. I can’t wait to listen to it. The voice acting is terrific and the story has me hooked. The foley makes me feel like I’m tuned into an old time radio show. I just love it.
