Listen Later

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!


Sarah from Weird Horizon returns to listen to Sean choke on a bacon sandwich. 

Elusive: Britain's Cryptids-Available on YouTube under the title 'Elusive Bigfoot Abroad' (2020).

This documentary explores Bigfoot sightings in Britain.


Discussion Points:

-Being from England, Sean and Sarah obviously start their catch-up by talking about the weather. 

-Sarah and Sean both fell asleep whilst watching this documentary-but this is not an indictment of the film, but the weather.

-This has already happened in history two species of hominids have co-existed. 

-The seeming-balanced viewpoint of the film with regards to whether these creatures could actually exist.

-Most people don't go off the beaten track.

-How we are taught not to explore forests.

-Trunk or treat.

-The human needs for answers.


Raised Questions:

-What are Cryptids?

-Did the myth of the Kraken come from real-life giant squids?

-What's the word for the big animal family tree?

-Can you be biased when someone speaks with your accent?

-Have you ever seen a wild deer?

-Have you ever got lost in a forest like Sarah?

-Is Sean a hussy for American podcasters?

-Has conspiracy become a bit of a dirty word?


Quote of the episode:

"We're basically living on the crust of a big sponge"- Sarah rivals David Attenborough. 


Guest Info: 

Sarah has "Discussions on the spooky and the esoteric, the counter-cultural and the just plain weird."-Her words.

Her voice is so calming, I'm trying to talk her into doing a 'Help you to sleep' podcast.
