Don’t Whistle At Night welcomes Jimmy Toungate

April 18th, 2026

EP: 053

- Jimmy joins us to talk about his Bigfoot, Sasquatch experiences.

About our Guest:

Originally a Texan with a restless spirit, Jimmy Toungate [ton-gate] headed North in 2004 to carve out a life defined by adventure. From the dust of the trails of the American Southwest as a professional cowboy to the unforgiving swells of the Alaskan commercial fishing industry, his life has been a masterclass in American grit.

Today, he is the driving force behind Offroad X Files, where he blends his background as a backcountry trail guide with a deep-seated quest for the unexplained. Whether he is leading expeditions through the Pacific Northwest or conducting field research as a Sasquatch investigator and filmmaker, Jimmy operates at the edge of the map. As a brand ambassador for onX Offroad, Morimoto Lighting, and Setpower, he has dedicated his life to documenting the wilderness and is the host of the annual SasqWatch: Beyond the Footprint conference, proving that the greatest stories are found where the pavement ends.

Jeremy Spillane LIVE, Friday, April 10th, 2026 at 3 PM ET

Topic: Alive in the Afterlife: Spirits Captured on Camera

Bio:

I’m Jeremy Spillane, and I am married to Caroline; we’ve been together for 47 years and married for over 43 of those. We have five children and six grandchildren, and we currently live in East Yorkshire, England. I’ve never written a book before – there has never been anything that gripped me enough to make me embark on the massive amount of hard work that writing a book entails.

However, I have always enjoyed reading and did well in English at school. Throughout my life, I have written occasional magazine articles on various technical subjects, which have been published, and have had many letters to local and national newspapers published. In my twenties, I was offered the job of Sub-Editor on the local newspaper, but after much internal debate, I accepted a much better-paid job in electronics.

So by my very early sixties, I accepted that my life was pretty ordinary and simple, nothing Earth-shattering was ever going to happen to me…then Caroline’s parents died. Joan died first, then a few years later, Roger. All of a sudden, I just had to write a book about what happened next…
