  • 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.

    Get all the information from the source, Bigfoot Society, without having to pay for it!!! Jeremiah has been doing a FANTASTIC job tracking the sightings and keeps updating WITHOUT requesting a fee.

  • Still haven’t found Bigfoot.

    Two clowns from the TV show Finding Bigfoot continue to fail to find Bigfoot. With this podcast they repeatedly try to sell the listener on folklore as reality with an avalanche of specious data. Amusing for its ridiculous premise it’s a fun if often painful listen. Chock full of preposterous claims.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 358 - Q&A - March, 2026
Q: Have you ever found evidence or footprints in suburban areas, and how does suburban density affect Sasquatch reporting and investigations?
They acknowledge reports near suburban areas and discuss the nuance of rural vs. suburban definitions, noting that Sasquatch activity can occur near edges of towns, but practical investigations often hinge on proximity to wild habitats and access to tracks away from paved streets.
Ep. 358 - Q&A - March, 2026
Q: What is your favorite Sasquatch-related documentary or film, and why would you recommend it to listeners looking to learn more?
The hosts discuss favorites across eras, highlighting Sasquatch Odyssey for behind-the-scenes access and old classics like Boggy Creek and the BBC documentary Bigfoot, America's Abominable Snowman; they emphasize the value of diverse sources and historical context in understanding the phenomenon.
Ep. 358 - Q&A - March, 2026
Q: What are your thoughts on Meldrum's stance about being vocal or vocal enough about Sasquatch research in academia?
Cliff and others suggest that Meldrum advised a cautious but steady approach—pursue Sasquatch research alongside other wildlife biology work, develop tenure, and avoid letting Sasquatch be the sole focus until established; being credible as a wildlife biologist helps the Sasquatch work gain traction.
Ep. 358 - Q&A - March, 2026
Q: Do you believe it is safe in today's atmosphere for a wildlife biologist to be open about believing in Sasquatch and pursuing the proof of its existence to the wider scientific community, or should they keep it quiet for career prospects?
Colin's question is answered with practical career guidance: pursue Sasquatch interest as a side project while maintaining your primary wildlife biology work, build tenure and credibility first, and then integrate Sasquatch research openly; the field benefits from biologists who can apply rigorous methods rather than relying on paranormal interpretation.
Ep. 372 - Ken Walker Returns!
Q: If you were intent on seeing a Sasquatch, what would you do to get that job done?
He suggested using a high-end thermal camera in a rarely visited area, staying up long hours, and calling a distinctive call to attract a heat signature, while acknowledging the difficulty of achieving a sighting in high-activity zones.
