Episode 122: Weird Bigfoot of the West Coast Jun 13, 2017

Show notes

Inspired by their recent escapades in the Chestnut Ridge region, Andy and Mark spend this episode sifting through the pages of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman's "Creatures of the Outer Edge" for more odd Bigfoot reports. What emerges is a pattern of West Coast weirdness that has to be heard to be believed...and if you don't believe it, that's really OK.

Small Town Monsters latest film, "Mothman of Point Pleasant," is making a splash over on Amazon Video. Check out www.smalltownmonsters.com for more details!

The Big Sky Bigfoot Conference is coming up soon (Sept. 22-23) in beautiful Hamilton, Montana! Wish we could go! Doesn't mean you can't. Check out the lineup and more at: www.bigskybigfootconference.com

Episode 121: The Chestnut Ridge Recordings (feat. Stan Gordon) Jun 06, 2017

Show notes

This past weekend, Mark and Andy were present for the shooting of the next Small Town Monsters documentary, "Invasion on Chestnut Ridge," and found the time to record a segment for your listening enjoyment! In this episode, they explore the mysteries of southwestern Pennsylvania with guests Brandon Dalo and Stan Gordon. Standing in the shadow of the Kecksburg UFO replica, Andy, Mark, Brandon and Stan discuss the many strange features of this otherwise beautiful region. Don't worry, the conversation is 99.99% spoiler free as far the movie is concerned!

Special thanks to Stan Gordon for his invaluable assitance in the making of "Invasion on Chestnut Ridge," and for spending time with us on the shoot.

A special shout-out to Eric Altman; it was great to finally meet you face-to-face!

Episode 119: Paul Bartholomew Volume Two May 09, 2017

Show notes

Mark is the sole host of episode 119, so he takes the opportunity to tell all kind of embarrassing stories about when Andy was a baby...

Just kidding. Actually, Andy was not feeling well, so Mark starts the show by himself, dipping into the mailbag, briefly reviewing David Coleman's "The Bigfoot Filmography," and talking about a number of upcoming events.

Speaking of which, Saturday, May 20th is Bigfoot Day in Canton's Stark Parks! To register for this FREE event, which features Small Town Monsters, visit reservations.starkparks.com

Then it's time for part two of a talk given by Paul Bartholomew, who is a well known and highly respected researcher and author from New York. If you have seen STM's "Beast of Whitehall," you have seen and heard Paul. This is the first half of a talk that he gave at Burr Oak State Park in Southeast Ohio in September 2015.

SPECIAL THANKS to Paul for his permission to share this audio with you!

Lots going on this week! Andy and Mark announce a birth; they talk about stolen Bigfoot; read a letter; review the DVD "Sasquatch Odyssey"; and promote the next Small Town Monsters LIVE taking place this Thursday at 7:00 p.m. on Facebook.

Then they reach into the audio archives to share a presentation by Paul Bartholomew, who is a well known and highly respected researcher and author from New York.

Episode 117: The Most Important Classic Case Apr 25, 2017

Show notes

This episode operates on a simple premise: Andy and Mark attempt to answer the question, "What is the most important classic Bigfoot case?" Their answers may surprise you. Then again, they might not!

They also highlight the excellent e-book "Bigfoot: Encounters Past to Present" by Daniel Perez and illustrated by Steven DeMarco. Another great source for this installment was Loren Coleman's "Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America."

Sincere thanks to everyone who wrote in this past week! Let us know YOUR most important classic case at saswhatmail@gmail.com

Episode 116: SasWhat Nation -- Arizona Apr 18, 2017

Show notes

In this freewheeling episode, Mark and Andy present tales from the Grand Canyon State for your listening pleasure! (With it being Dyngus Day and all (Google it), the guys had a full day of fun before sitting down to record.) After discussing the general geography of Arizona and the mystery of place names, they get into the goods: stories of Sasquatch activity in the north-northeast quadrant of the state, with a concentration on the Mogollon Rim. They touch on the work of the late Mitchell Waite and present the full story of Don Davis' encounter with Bigfoot near Tonto Creek. Then there is the "wild man of the rocks" account from 1903; Native American connections; you've just got to listen!

But before all that, they give their impressions of the new Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, "Cry Wilderness," which is a really, really bad Bigfoot movie, and therefore, a stellar MST3K entry.

Episode 115: Darin Richardson, Part Two Apr 11, 2017

Show notes

This week, Darin Richardson returns to discuss his experiences while living in The Dalles, Oregon, beginning in 2007. From a wooded ravine behind his apartment came a series of sights and sounds that caused him to conclude that Sasquatch was back in his life. Darin also shares his thoughts about what this mysterious creature really is, as well as a sighting that his daughter had while at a Civil War renactment.

There were some technical issues with the first couple of minutes of Darin's interview, but it quickly straightens out. The shaky audio is included because the information sets up the rest of Darin's story. Thanks for your understanding.

Mark and Andy begin the show by announcing incredibly huge news: they have been invited to participate in the 2nd International Cryptozoology Conference in Portland Maine! They share their reaction to this amazing opportunity and try to articulate what it means to them. It isn't easy. To learn more about ICC17, go to Loren Coleman's blog at: www.cryptozoonews.com

Darin Richardson has written a book about his experiences called "Bigfoot and I: A Personal Journey into the World of Sasquatch." You can find it on Amazon right here.

Show notes

Darin Richardson's life changed in 1991, when he had a close-range encounter with Bigfoot near Mineral Lake, Washington. He shares the details of his story and talks openly about the aftermath of his sighting on this episode.

Darin has written a book about his experiences called "Bigfoot and I: A Personal Journey into the World of Sasquatch." You can find it on Amazon right here.

Episode 113: Colin Schneider -- The Crypto-Kid Mar 28, 2017

Show notes

Colin Schneider is one of the youngest active researchers in the United States. He has been published in such magazines as Animals and Men and Cryptid Culture, maintains an informative blog, and hosts his own show called "Crypto-Kid." As you will hear, his knowledge of the unexplained runs deep, and his enthusiasm for cryptozoology in general and Bigfoot in particular is contagious.

Before the interview with Colin, Andy and Mark talk about a recent bill in Washington State that would designate Sasquatch as the state cryptid, as well as books they are currently reading, such as Glen Boulier's "Witnessing Bigfoot."
