August 25, 2008Skeptic Check: Bigfoot Press Conference
Finally, Bigfoot meets habeus corpus: three men claim they have the body of the elusive hirsute creature on ice, and throw a big press conference to prove it. Lots of journalists show up, as do the Bigfoot baggers. Days later the purported historic discovery turned out to be - gasp! - a hairy hoax.

Guests:

Jeff Meldrum - Professor of Anatomy at Boise State University, and author of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science
