Co-hosts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black calculate the environmental impact of National Treasure's various exploits. Have you ever considered how much carbon was stored in the Charlotte ship before it was blown to smithereens? Or how much fuel our heroes and villains used when traveling between various U.S. cities and the Arctic tundra? Or how Ian's henchmen left bullet casings scattered throughout Old Pine Churchyard? We're doing the math so you don't have to. • Order our latest book, "Riley Poole's Book of Secrets: History for National Treasure Hunters," from Tucker DS Press or on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Riley-Pooles-Secrets-Aubrey-Paris/dp/1959748394/, and leave a rating and review on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/246259636-riley-poole-s-book-of-secrets). • Order our first book, "National Treasure Hunt: One Step Short of Crazy," from Tucker DS Press or on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/National-Treasure-Hunt-Short-Crazy/dp/1959748009. • National Treasure Hunt is available as a video podcast!

In this "National Treasure in Real Life" episode, co-hosts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black review The Curse of Oak Island (Seasons 7 and 8) on the History Channel. When do treasure hunt finds begin to feel mundane? And if the nonfiction, many-years-long hunt on Oak Island consistently brings in repeat viewers, is it even remotely surprising that Nicolas Cage's fictional, fast-paced quest has maintained its popularity for two decades? • Order our latest book, "Riley Poole's Book of Secrets: History for National Treasure Hunters," from Tucker DS Press or on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Riley-Pooles-Secrets-Aubrey-Paris/dp/1959748394/, and leave a rating and review on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/246259636-riley-poole-s-book-of-secrets). • Order our first book, "National Treasure Hunt: One Step Short of Crazy," from Tucker DS Press or on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/National-Treasure-Hunt-Short-Crazy/dp/1959748009. • National Treasure Hunt is available as a video podcast!

Co-hosts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black don their robes and grab their gavels to dole out a prison sentence for National Treasure villain Ian Howe. By breaking down each of Ian's criminal offenses, their analysis determines how much time Ian should have spent behind bars (if he had been convicted of all his illegal acts) and how much prison time he actually received following his arrest in Boston. In the end, Aubrey and Emily answer the big question: could Ian be released in time to torment Ben Gates in National Treasure 3? • It's your last chance to register for the fall 2026 National Treasure Hunt Tour in Washington, D.C., happening on Saturday, October 17th.

Co-hosts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black debate what makes National Treasure and National Treasure: Book of Secrets appealing to young and old audiences alike. Is it simply the action-packed nature of the treasure hunt, or is very careful writing (replete with external monologues, audience stand-in characters, and adult humor) the reason for the franchise's intergenerational success? • It's your last chance to register for the fall 2026 National Treasure Hunt Tour in Washington, D.C., happening on Saturday, October 17th.
