From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life.
I'm Ikes Reese Konduraja in for Ira Glass.
Pablo, does this feel like an Icarus story to you?
What part?
Well, Icarus dies.
Not that part.
This is Pablo Manriquez, and he recently survived his own personal Greek tragedy.
He's a reporter in Washington, D.C., known him for years.
And this all began when a ripped-open package showed up on his front stoop.
It's late winter 2022.
I find a box outside of my apartment.
Inside is a canvas, the four primary colors, a paintbrush, and a palette.
It just seems like a sign.
And that's like...
What's the sign?
It was just, I thought to myself, somebody painted every painting in the Capitol, in the White House, in the Department of Justice, all these agency buildings, they have oil paintings.
And yet, in the 15 years that I've been in Washington, I've never met an oil painter.
Get this light bulb moment.
That could be him.
It wasn't the first time he decided to become a new Pablo.
