This week on the show:

Metal detectors didn\u2019t have a resurgence during the pandemic - they had a rebirth. A new generation of treasure hunters has emerged. Is this a good thing?

Action Park was one of the most popular theme parks in America during the 1980s. Then the first person died.

Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong was accused of using performance-enhancing drugs in 2012. The fallout had an impact on Armstrong\u2019s charity, Livestrong (remember the yellow wristbands??) Livestrong is still around - how has it survived the damage done to its image by Armstrong?
