SO EP:515 The Bigfoot Mystery

Sasquatch Odyssey

In this episode, Brian welcomes Jimmy Akin, a podcaster with Starquest and host of 'Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World,' to discuss his journey into the realm of Bigfoot and the paranormal. Akin shares his initial skepticism regarding Bigfoot, influenced by debunking claims like the Patterson-Gimlin film, but explains how further research and influences, such as Jeff Meldrum’s work, have opened his mind to the possibilities. The discussion delves into potential evidence for Bigfoot’s existence, such as the notable characteristics of the Patterson-Gimlin film and the intricacies of footprint evidence, including dermal ridges. Akin also touches on the arguments against Bigfoot's existence, acknowledging the challenges posed by North America's inhabited areas. The episode explores the importance of skepticism and expertise in the field, akin to Akin's experience as a trained paranormal investigator, and highlights Akin's and the host's views on the Bigfoot research community. Additionally, the discussion provides insights into Akin's various podcasts and his interest in covering mysterious and cryptid topics.
