These days, podcasting is increasingly dominated by large studios, production companies and, of course, traditional broadcasters (Hi!). But there are still a lot of hardworking podcasters out there who do it all on their own. This week we're shouting out our fave indies.

Also this week, Elamin speaks to Laura Krantz, the creator and host of Wild Thing. In its first season, Laura took a methodical and scientific approach to the question: Is Bigfoot real? This time, she's tackling the "ongoing search for extraterrestrial life." The truth is out there!

Featuring: We Are Not the Virus, Cited, Black Frasier and Wild Thing.
