SO EP:667 Bigfoot: Marvel’s Hairiest Hero

In this exclusive Pop Culture Edition of Sasquatch Odyssey, Dani dives headfirst into the world of comics to explore one of the most fascinating pop culture interpretations of Bigfoot: Marvel’s Sasquatch.

Created in the late 1970s, Marvel’s Sasquatch isn’t just a towering cryptid lurking in the woods—he’s Dr. Walter Langkowski, a Canadian scientist whose experiments unlock a transformation into a massive, orange-furred creature with superhuman strength.

A longtime member of Alpha Flight, Marvel’s premier Canadian superhero team, Sasquatch has stood shoulder to shoulder with legends like Wolverine and the X-Men, bringing the folklore of Bigfoot into the heart of the Marvel Universe.In this episode, Dani paints a vivid picture of the character’s design and evolution: the towering frame, the primal roar, the duality of man and beast. But more than just description, we dig into what this character means.

How does Marvel’s Sasquatch reflect our cultural fascination with cryptids? Why do we continually reimagine Bigfoot in new forms—from wilderness monster to sports mascot to superhero? Drawing on psychology and sociology, Dani explores how this superhero iteration taps into deeper human questions: the tension between science and myth, the fear and fascination of transformation, and the way folklore adapts to modern storytelling. By turning Bigfoot into a hero instead of a horror, Marvel redefined the cultural script, showing how the same legend can embody both primal terror and protective strength.

And, in true Sasquatch Odyssey fashion, the episode also asks: how do these portrayals ripple back into the real world? Could repeated depictions of Sasquatch as noble or heroic actually shape how people process their own encounters in the wild?

Finally, stick around until the end of the episode for a special surprise: Brian joins the conversation to share his take on Marvel’s Sasquatch, and how he sees pop culture constantly influencing real-life beliefs about Bigfoot.

This is an episode that blends comics, folklore, psychology, and the enduring mystery of the creature in the woods.

Whether you’re a Marvel fan, a Bigfoot believer, or just curious about how myths evolve, this Pop Culture Edition proves one thing: Sasquatch isn’t just hiding in the forest—he’s alive and well in the pages of our favorite comics.

SO EP:15 Bigfoot Chased By A Mountain Lion!

SO EP:15 Bigfoot Chased By A Mountain Lion!

Tonights guests are Good from British Columbia Canada and Richard from California. They both have some great stories to tell, and I am grateful they are sharing them here with us tonight. You will hear quite a bit of background noise during Gords interview. Those are NOT baby Sasquatch, they are his grandkids lol. He is out in the bush most of the time so we did not have a chance to re-record the audio so I think you will enjoy it even with the chatter. I also noticed that Richards episode had some weird background noise at times. Maybe it's the government hacking in to listen in haha. None the less I apologize for the audio quality, but I can only control what I can control. I think you will enjoy the stories despite the tech issues!

SO EP:8 My interview with the legendary Ron Morehead Bigfoot and his Sierra Sounds

SO EP:8 My interview with the legendary Ron Morehead Bigfoot and his Sierra Sounds

My guest tonight is the legendary Ron Morehead. Best known for the Sierra Sounds, Ron is a renowned researcher, author, producer, and more importantly an experiencer. He's been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time tested, and accredited as being genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with the giant beings and produced his story on CD and in his book "Voices in the Wilderness". Very few researchers of his caliber are brave enough to publicly consider the hundreds of reports that include that"spooky action at a distance," (Einstein). In his most recent book, "The Quantum Bigfoot," Ron goes above and beyond, combining decades of experience and tireless hours of research into the palm of quantum physics as it could pertain to Bigfoot/Sasquatch. Besides being a Keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs such as Coast to Coast, BBC TV documentaries, and the Learning Channel.
