Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo is a Sasquatch show with mud on its boots and doubts still attached. It is conversational first. Episodes often begin with road chatter, a field update, a documentary mention, or a loose bit of banter before settling into the actual question: what was seen, what was heard, and what evidence survived the telling. That gives the show a patient, worked-over quality. It does not treat every claim as settled. It also does not flatten every strange report into a joke. Recent conversations spend time on believers and skeptics, primate particulars, and the larger question of what Sasquatch might be. They also get very specific. Footprints are compared against boot shapes. Toe marks become important. Track age, terrain, and travel routes all matter. A discussion with Chris Spencer moves into vocalizations, small groups, possible circuits, and how ideas change over years of listening and field study. Shane Corson brings Olympic Peninsula details, including old tracks, vague impressions, and the slow process of deciding whether something is ordinary or not. John Mionczynski adds a long field-person perspective, with talk of Wyoming, ethnobotany, local tribes, medicinal plants, and the respect he carries in that world. Sean Mantooth brings the road-worn memory of Finding Bigfoot production, where friendship and stress seem to have traveled together. There is also a community layer here: Bigfoot Museum updates, a Bigfoot Mapping Project kiosk, listener questions, documentaries, guest follow-ups, and the occasional special bulletin when the Bigfoot world starts arguing about new material. The show can ramble. That is part of its function. Its best moments come when the detour turns out to explain the evidence, the friendship, or the caution behind a claim.
Made for: For listeners who enjoy Bigfoot, cryptozoology, and unexplained encounters but want more than spooky retellings. It especially suits people interested in field signs, witness accounts, documentary backstories, and respectful skepticism.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its mix of long-term Sasquatch community memory and practical field judgment. It treats tracks, vocalizations, terrain, maps, and witness sketches as working evidence rather than decoration.
