  • Best Bigfoot Podcast

    The host have known each other for decades and their chemistry shows. They make me laugh and entertain me every episode. I enjoy listening to them which is what makes for a good podcast. They do not do endless interviews of witnesses every week, rather they inform viewers of science and news involving such things as primates and evolution. They are very active with their listeners and devote multiple weeks every month to listener questions. I highly recommend this podcast.

  • The best Bigfoot podcast on the planet

    Great way to start the week. But really the podcast should be called Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff, Bobo, and Matt.

  • I can’t wait until these buffoons insist the Patterson film is still genuine.

    A peek into the nature of belief hosted by two devoted proponents of Bigfoot. Interesting from a sociological perspective but a fertile source for severe problem thinking on a wide variety of sciences. A triumph of ignorance.

  • Fantastic! 🫈

    The editing of this podcast is outstanding! I love that there’s prompts telling the listener that there’s gonna be a commercial break, unlike some podcasts who cut the commercial in mid of sentence.

    I love the Intriguing conversations.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 383 - Dr. Lynne McNeill on 'Squatchy Lore and Legends!
Q: What is the role of skepticism in folklore studies?
Skepticism is treated as a traditional stance, and researchers strive to ask similar questions of believers and skeptics to understand the lived experiences and cultural meanings behind reports rather than simply debunking them.
Ep. 383 - Dr. Lynne McNeill on 'Squatchy Lore and Legends!
Q: How has the internet affected folklore and Bigfoot lore?
The internet diversifies and accelerates folklore, enabling rapid evolution and proliferation of stories through memes and shared content, while also complicating authenticity as information spreads across both traditional and digital channels.
Ep. 383 - Dr. Lynne McNeill on 'Squatchy Lore and Legends!
Q: What does folklore actually mean to a folklorist like you?
Folklore is the dynamic, traditional cultural forms that circulate through everyday people via word of mouth and social practices, including stories, beliefs, and material culture, rather than being defined by elite institutions; it's about how people express and negotiate meaning in their lives.
Ep. 379 - Q&A - August, 2026
Q: How should a young person start researching Bigfoot and contribute to the field?
They stress starting with credible books and guided resources, building a foundation before diving into online spaces, and offer a path through historical reports, libraries, and trusted researchers rather than sensational online content.
Ep. 379 - Q&A - August, 2026
Q: What is on your bucket list that you have not had a chance to do yet?
Cliff mentions filming a daylight observation to relive the moment, while both hosts express interest in visiting remote habitats like the Jarbidge Mountains for field exploration and discovery.
