Talking Scared

245 – Giano Cromley & Our Friends in the Forest


Listen Later


This week we’re talking about my Roman Empire. BIGFOOT!!

 

But this time I have good reason to get geeky – my guest is Giano Cromley, hairy-hominid enthusiast, certified wildlife tracker, and author of the deeply charming American Mythology.

 

It’s the story of a group of lost souls, joined in their search for the fabled ‘squatch of the North American woods. It’s spooky for sure, but just as concerned with wonder and friendship as it is with fear.

 

Giano and I talk at length about Bigfoot – our theories, our stance, his personal encounter – as well as the treatment of positive male friendship in the novel, and the role that sceptics and pseudoscience play in our culture.

 

This one was a blast for me. I hope you enjoy it.
