Now, ten years later, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with him to go places that story couldn't: the FBI, the Pope, the survivors who found each other decades later, and the hard-won question of where shame really belongs. Ed's story begins in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where a boy abandoned by his violent father and drowning in poverty finds an unlikely lifeline in the local Catholic church. What the bishop who runs it asks for in return will take Ed the better part of a lifetime to fully reckon with. šŸŽ¶For more info and music featured in this episode, visit risk-show.com/podcast/quid-pro-quo-revisited Support RISK! & Get Involved ā€¢ šŸŽŸ See RISK! liveā  in NYC on March 17th, 2026 ā€¢ āœļø Pitch your storyā  ā€¢ ā¤ļø Support us on Patreonā  or ā make a one-time PayPal donationā  ā€¢ šŸ“š Shop merch or the RISK! bookā  ā€¢ šŸŽ“ Take storytelling classes with usā ā€¢ šŸŽ„ Hire Kevin as a coach or get personalized videos Learn more about your ad choices.
