SO EP:572 The Shape Of Bigfoot

In this episode, we dive into the enduring mystery of Bigfoot, exploring why so many people still want to believe in the legendary creature. Following the insights of Lewis and Bartlett’s interviews with 166 dedicated 'bigfooters,' we examine what keeps the myth alive despite a lack of compelling evidence.We take a trip back to 1958, when a small California newspaper first reported the discovery of giant footprints, coining the now-iconic name Bigfoot. From there, we trace the creature’s rise in popular culture—from children’s movies to reality TV—and investigate the ongoing debate over the famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film.But Bigfoot is more than just a legend; it’s a symbol of freedom, adventure, and humanity’s desire to connect with the unknown. Whether people are drawn to the search for its ties to nature or its reflection of an older, wilder way of life, Bigfoot remains a larger-than-life figure. We discuss why this myth persists, how modern technology both fuels and undermines belief, and how Bigfoot has found a permanent home—not in the forests, but online.Finally, we uncover the story of the infamous 'Minnesota Iceman'—a supposed frozen Bigfoot-like relic that turned out to be a Hollywood-made hoax. Even so, its impact on cryptozoology remains, much like Bigfoot itself.Join us as we unravel the mystery, the myths, and the modern fascination with Bigfoot. Is it fact, folklore, or something in between? Tune in to find out!
