Podcast Review - Bigfoot Collectors Club



This is a podcast about cryptids, the supernatural, and the paranormal.
So usual topic for me.
However unlike my usual listening these guys are believers, not skeptics.

I did laugh a little when the spoke about the famous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage as if it were irrefutably true.


A lot of their point for why it is real are my points for why it's fake.

I also liked that they kept accidentally saying 'Robert Patterson'.



I didn't appreciate the short musical breaks that were 3x louder than the speaking on either side.



I also didn't like the discussion that no one could have made a convincing Bigfoot suit in the 60's.
What is it with people and thinking that humans of the past (even recent past) lacked any skill or drive?!


Lemme guess, aliens.

Podcast Review - Blurry Photos



This is a well researched, informative, and funny podcast about the supernatural, paranormal, and mysterious.

Some of the topics covered are lesser known things like the Yokai and Gobekli Tepe.


I bet you haven't even heard of Gobekli Tepe.

The hosts are captivating and end each show with puns.



One of the true delights I find is the 'Candy Chat' episodes with Tabitha and Betty.



I am quickly devouring the archive of episodes and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Podcast Review - Lore


After getting a taste for the unexplainable, Lore was a nice little historical look at the supernatural, paranormal, and mysterious.

There are 28 episodes at the time I wrote this and they don't take long to power through. They are well produced and Aaron Mahnke's voice is perfect in both tone and timing for this type of podcast.

The only issue I have with this podcast is the plugging of sponsors often goes on for as long as the story part of the podcast itself. But you can skip this. (I don't mind sponsors, podcasts need funding, but it shouldn't be half the download).

Podcast Review - The Black Tapes Podcast



This creepy little fiction series came to my attention in October last year (Halloween-ish time) and was a delight to listen to.

Sit yourself in a dark room and let yourself get lost in the story of Alex and Dr Strand... then occasionally remind yourself it is fiction XP

Because it is fiction, I won't do into details (I hate spoilers!) but I will recommend you go and listen to it for yourself.

The only negative is how DAMN LONG it takes for new episodes! The wait between season 1 and season 2 was unbearable and I almost gave up on the story all together.

I can wait a long time if I just know the end date (and the people who produce this are not great at communicating with their fans).
