In this episode, Brian shares an interview that he did over as a guest of the Tinfoil Tales podcast. Brian shares his journey from law enforcement to exploring cryptids like Bigfoot and UFOs, and discusses how he rekindled his interest through podcasts about five years ago. Brian started his own podcast, Sasquatch Odyssey, in 2021, aiming to document Bigfoot encounters, particularly in the Southeastern United States. He details the challenges of starting a podcast with no prior experience, receiving pivotal audio-quality advice from Wes of Sasquatch Chronicles. Brian also talks about the competitive but collaborative nature of the cryptids podcasting community, his approach to interviewing witnesses, and the evolution of his network of podcasts. The discussion touches on the mysterious aspects of Bigfoot encounters, the credibility issues within the Bigfoot research community, and Brian's personal journey towards demystifying these phenomena. Additionally, they talk about the struggles and skepticism faced in the world of Bigfoot research, the influence of well-known figures such as Dr. Jeff Meldrum and Cliff Barackman, and the controversy surrounding figures like Todd Standing.
