Description
An atmospheric podcast of topics that reside on the fringes of our reality. This podcast was born out of a life long curiosity of all things strange and unusual. An early obsession with UFOs, Bigfoot and some personal experiences with the paranormal fueled my passion for high strangeness. My love for discussion and drive to hear others' encounters led me to hosting my own podcast. The show is an interview based, non-toxic environment where witnesses can share their experiences with a knowledgeable host that's truly interested.

Insightful conversation with filmaker Seth Breedlove of Small Town Monsters. We cover the gambit of 10 years of productions with STM, personal experiences and the stories that have impacted him and shaped his stoytelling.
This week, my guest is Carter Buschardt — a seasoned field investigator and author who’s spent years collecting and documenting firsthand encounters with Bigfoot. Carter’s work goes far beyond campfire stories; he’s interviewed hundreds of credible witnesses and uncovered patterns in behavior, family groups, and even intergenerational sightings that suggest something far more complex than folklore.Beliveing they're intelligent, elusive, and possibly even capable of limited telepathic or energetic communication. His meticulous reports with the BFRO and his books bring a rare balance of fieldwork, science, and open-minded curiosity to the phenomenon.We dig deep into his evidence, the human side of encounters, habituations and why so many credible witnesses continue to come forward — despite the ridicule.
Here's my sumation and takeaways from the September 9th Congressional hearing on UAP disclousre and whistleblower protections. The long and the short of it, the good the bad and the ugly.I threw in a little bonus for you while on the topic of UFO's. I nd the show with the strange disappearance of a little known musical artist Jim Sherman.

Just you and me tonight guys! In this episode I'm not trying to convience anyone that Bigfoot exists as much as trying to put all my thoughts together and make sense of why...with the body of evidence that currently exists... there is still no formal scientific interest in this phenomenon. It's beyond me friends.Hope you all enjoy the cold opening segment, I had a blast putting it together for you!

castbox is running the same ad, every 3 minutes. unlistenable
If the host could actually have a conversation with his guests instead of interrupting them and pontificating at them, it could be an interesting show.
If this guy would stop monologing and let Dr. Meldrum talk, it would have been a better interview.
well I'll be damned. I literally quit listening to the show a few months ago because of him interrupting people and making the show about himself, I just decided to give it one more try and not even 10 minutes into the show and he's a already interrupted a guest literally in mid sentence to start talking about himself. somebody needs to tell this guy that other people exist. never again. wow. if you can't let other people get an entire sentence out you shouldn't be a podcast host. so rude!!
once again the show gets hijacked by the host, and with a completely underwhelming story about being touched on the hand by a ghost. I realize that this is supposed to be a back in the 4th conversation but it's every single show at least half is not more is the host telling stories of his own. and I know the guests are just sitting there thinking I thought I was supposed to be the guest. like literally just has a podcast so he can talk about himself
I'm super sick of all these swap casts lately. where are the real guests?
This host talks waaaaaaay more than his guests. He can’t shut up.
this was such a wholesome conversation with a really interesting and kind man. I can't wait to check out his podcast.
pretty sure Erik created this podcast so he could talk about himself constantly, and then go back and listen to himself talking about himself constantly in whatever leftover time he has.
over 20 minutes in and Erik is still babbling about himself, as always. if they don't get to the meat and potatoes of what's supposedly in this episode, I'm out. God, it's so aggravating to listen to 30 minutes of the host talking about himself and asking the guest boring questions, if for a moment he happens to stop talking about himself for a brief moment. nobody gives a crap about how this girl got into podcasting, or how Erik feels about 874 different things. enough already
I miss how this podcast started out. lots of cryptids and whatnot. where's all the Bigfoot shows LOL
it's a damn shame that they are so many people that are so close-minded that they will write off a friend/relative just for their belief in things like this. there's a lot of WEIRD shit going on in the world today, I think it always has been, but more people are starting to notice it for whatever reason. it's more & more apparent, but there are still just sooo many people that automatically dismiss subjects like this. I wanna tell them all YOU'LL SEE. and then I'm going to say I TOLD YOU SO! lol
what happened to the good content this show started off with???
I do not like this. You have to make the audio work - you can not whisper when your gueats talk load. It's impossible to listen to.
Uintas = "You-win-tuz " lol
background music is distracting
Not sure why the guy doing the interview voice sounds like soft pillow talk. Never heard him before. Maybe this is just how he sounds?
how does her kid go from being a boy to a girl than a boy again then a girl?? this lady is full of s***.
