CannCon and Ashe in America finally land a guest CannCon has chased for years, and it's personal, since Tim Canova is a law professor at CannCon's alma mater and once ran for Congress in his district. A lifelong Kennedy Democrat turned establishment thorn, Tim recounts his against-all-odds 2016 primary run at DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, built on 12,000 door knocks a week, a surprise Bernie Sanders endorsement, and a national map lighting up with small-dollar donations. Then comes the gut punch: local media posting results with 70 percent of precincts reporting before a single ballot was counted, polls that vanished, and a ballot-destruction saga that followed. Along the way the crew connects it to Kari Lake, Pennsylvania, WikiLeaks, and the machinery that protects incumbents. A rare insider's view of how a party crushes its own insurgents. Plus AI data centers, loaded gun coffee, and the Creature from Jekyll Island.

Creature Feature: Vol 7 | Paranormal Podcast We're back with Creature Feature Volume 7 and three listener-submitted stories that cover the full range of cryptid weird — starting with Brian from the deep woods of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, who at 16 had a roadside encounter with something that looked like a deer but absolutely was not. Then we got into Rhys's story, which starts with a not-deer sighting on a dark highway that kept appearing mile after mile with eyes set forward like a predator — and then took a left turn into something far more personal when the dreams started. And finally, Samantha brought us a backyard Bigfoot encounter from Appalachian country that had all the classic markers — massive footprints, heavy steps, the smell — plus one detail that neither of us had ever heard attached to a Bigfoot sighting before.

Today’s conversation between Thalia Field and David Naimon, moderated by Anne de Marcken, was recorded in February as part of the Pacific Northwest College of Art’s Visual Arts low residency MFA program. Thalia and David discuss and explore their pieces within the anthology Creature Needs: Writers Respond to the Science of Animal Conservation, where each writer was given a scientific study to engage with and create art in relation to. As a result, side-blotched lizards, boreal toads and the green cutthroat trout all help make up the cross-species chorus of today’s conversation, one that isn’t just about making art in relation to science, but also about interrogating, through art-making, the assumptions baked into the scientific frame, and using art to reveal the unexamined stories hidden within that frame. Looking at other non-normative modes of scientific inquiry, ones where the line isn’t so bright between art and science, nor the subjective and the so-called objective, Thalia, David and Anne explore the various possibilities and pitfalls for art-makers and writers when engaging with the more-than-human world.

Tonight's guest, Ken, was born and raised in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Located along the northern edge of the Endless Mountains, Susquehanna County is home to countless forest-covered, rolling hills and the kind of terrain that would make it easy for a large cryptid to remain hidden.Late one night, in November of 2016, Ken was driving his ex-girlfriend around while she delivered newspapers on a route the two of them had been warned about. The warnings came from friends of his ex-girlfriend who had previously delivered papers on that route. They told Ken and his ex to be careful because they had seen what they described as Yetis while making deliveries.Naturally, Ken and his girlfriend didn't know what to make of those warnings. They had no reason to believe anything like that could be in the area. Their views on the existence of large, unknown cryptids changed abruptly that night, however. What they encountered didn't resemble a Yeti. According to Ken, it looked like a huge Werewolf.We hope you'll tune in and listen to Ken chronicle what happened that night, how the experience affected him, and the one detail about the encounter that still doesn't make sense to him.If you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.

CannCon and Ashe in America return to finish what they started, picking up the second half of Chapter 12 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, and this time they actually get to the sinking of the Lusitania. The hosts walk through how the ship was quietly outfitted for war, the cargo controversy that followed it for decades, and the strange timeline of warnings and decisions that put it directly in a U boat's path. They dig into the competing explanations for why the ship went down in under eighteen minutes, from torpedoes to secondary explosions to what divers actually found in the wreck decades later. Expect some genuinely jaw dropping historical details, a healthy dose of suspicion about official reports, and the kind of ending that makes the whole setup from last week click into place.

This month, we're releasing two versions of an episode that we already released years ago! Why? Because we love this episode, and we thought it'd be a fun one to do on the road for our 20th anniversary shows last year. Turns out it was!"Prelude to a Fish" is one of those episodes that just came together, from its original ridiculous idea ("what if The Little Mermaid but also Splash but also Creature from the Black Lagoon?") to the final touch, which was a riff on "Kiss the Girl" written by our friends Paul and Storm. Paul and Paget, of course, play it perfectly every time, and the WorkJuice Players who appear as animals are absolutely hilarious and have a blast out-sillying each other.We first staged this episode at SF Sketchfest on Jan 25, 2014 and then again at Largo in LA during our regular monthly run on Feb 1, 2014.This recording is from the "Our Favorite Episodes" show at the Bell House in Brooklyn on Sunday, Oct 26, 2025.

Matthew made Christina play the indie Creature Kitchen, which is the epitome of a cozy game that looks like it would scare the pants off of you back in 2001, but it truly is the epitome of a cozy game. The creatures are just weird enough to be off-putting and still cute, and the kitchen has a mystical oven. This game is absolutely worth your time.

From Wisconsin to Arizona, our guest today offers a rare window into the unseen realms that surround us.Since childhood, Jo West has possessed the extraordinary ability to perceive what most of us only glimpse—or never see at all. Ghosts. Possible alien encounters. Creatures of the fae, from gnomes to dragons. As a psychic medium, empath, and eclectic witch, Jo also assists teams on paranormal investigations, bringing her unique sensitivity to the field.In this episode, Jo shares her remarkable journey: from early ghostly visitations and a possible alien abduction, to encounters with the fae… and one of the most chilling experiences of her life—a demonic entity that appeared as a little girl clutching a teddy bear.We explore why Jo remains so open to these overlapping realities that the rest of us rarely access. Is our world layered with hidden realms where these beings walk among us? Do the barriers between dimensions sometimes thin or tear, allowing brief, unforgettable glimpses? Could this explain portals, zones of intense high strangeness, and those moments when reality itself seems to slip?Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Nine years ago, tonight's guest, Dave, contacted me to tell me about a Dogman encounter he'd had not long before reaching out to me. The encounter had traumatized him, and he contacted me hoping I could help him come to terms with what he'd experienced.Dave was no stranger to the woods. He'd spent untold hours in the outdoors over the years, doing all sorts of things. In fact, many years before his Dogman encounter, he'd had several encounters with Sasquatch. Those experiences didn't frighten him. His 2018 Dogman encounter clearly did.When Dave and I spoke at length about his encounter back in 2018, he wasn't ready to come on the show and share what had happened to him. Recently, though, he contacted me to let me know that had changed. After all these years, he's finally ready to share his encounter with all of you.We hope you'll tune in and listen as Dave tells the story of the Dogman encounter that affected him so deeply.If you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.

In 1958, motorists in Elkton, Michigan, were alarmed by the sight of a blue creature with blinking lights and what looked to be a space helmet. Estimates of its size ranged from 2 to 10 feet tall, and mothers who spotted it while looking out the windows of their homes were reportedly worried about letting their children go out at night. The police got involved after a busload of junior high school students spotted it, and it wasn't long before the mystery was solved.In the October 31, 2008, Huron Daily Tribune there is an article (page 5 of the pdf) by Traci L. Weisenbach headlined, “50 Years Ago, ‘Little Blue Man' Shook up Elkton.”  After the introduction in which the reader is asked to imagine driving down a country road and spotting “an illuminated, bluish figure moving very quickly, perhaps even dancing,” Weisenbach reveals that the creature was actually a young man dressed in a costume. He and two of his friends had come up with the idea, and with him in costume hidden in the trunk of a car, the other two would drive around and let him out in various locations.According to Weisenbach, the three men involved were Jerry Sprague, LeRoy Shultz, and Don Weiss, who had just returned after serving in the military. Don Weiss was interviewed and said, “We were 22 or 23 years old and we were looking for work.” He added, “We had a little extra time on our hands.” Read more →CONTACT AND SUPPORT

CannCon and Ashe in America continue through The New Alchemy section of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, landing on Chapter 12: Sink the Lusitania. This week the hosts dig into JP Morgan's role financing England and France during World War I, and the far less patriotic reasons America may have ended up in that war at all. They trace the origin story most of us learned in school, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and challenge the idea that it was ever really the cause rather than just the spark. Expect a hard look at how loans, politics, and a certain infamous ship collided to shift American public opinion, along with the hosts' usual candid detours into modern health, big pharma, and everything in between. Heavy subject matter this week, handled with the show's signature mix of bluntness and heart.

Brian vanishes beneath Clear Lake and returns hours later clutching a carved relic—waterlogged, impossibly strong, and violently changed. Brian and Michelle plan a quiet end-of-summer camping trip, only to find Michelle's former best friends Kristin, Hailey, and Bella in the neighboring site. Old tensions soften into drinking, swimming, and one last celebration before school resumes. Then Brian dives into the lake looking for lost objects and finds something resembling carved petrified wood beneath the dark grass. The relic will not let him release it or swim to the surface. When he finally reappears, his body is bloated with water and his personality is gone. He attacks the women with supernatural strength, opens the object into a small box, and transforms the lake into an alien landscape beneath a green sky. Michelle must get the relic away from him without touching it while something in the water tugs at the survivors from below. Bruce Haney's “The Darkness Under Clear Lake” blends cursed-object horror, possession, an end-of-summer lake trip, body horror, warped reality, and friendship tested by an underwater threat. The richer description names Brian, Michelle, Kristin, Hailey, and Bella while keeping the origin and full power of the sunken box unknown. Story by Bruce Haney.

THIS BILLION SECONDS AI @ 70 -- EPISODE ONE: AI TAKES THE PENSION On the 17th August 1956, artificial intelligence was born. The founders of the field reckoned they'd have thinking machines equivalent to humans in five year, perhaps ten at the most. What looked easy at the outset turned into a seven-decade struggle - across two "AI winters", when the discipline nearly faded away - before we got to ChatGPT. TRANSCRIPT: MARK PESCE, HOST: On the 17th August 1956, artificial intelligence was born. The final day of a six week workshop that ran through a hot lazy summer at Dartmouth University. A workshop on “artificial intelligence”. Words that had never been put together before - and would never be separate again. G'day, I'm Mark Pesce and this billion seconds are already unfolding as the most significant of this century. In this miniseries, celebrating the 70th anniversary of artificial intelligence, we're looking at where we’ve come from, how we got here - and where we seem to be going. Because we’re travelling at the speed of thought. The future looked bright at the beginning of artificial intelligence. This episode looks at how what seemed like a very straightforward goal - making machines that could think - turned into a 70 year struggle. That’s on this episode of THIS billion seconds. Claude Shannon. Marvin Minsky. John Conway. These aren’t household names, but in the halls of computer science and in the history of artificial intelligence they are renowned. Three of the founders of the field. They were among around 60 different individuals who passed through Dartmouth in the summer of 1956. The workshop was purposely constructed very casually. You could come in and stay for the whole thing - or just drop by check it out and move on. People were encouraged to give talks. They were encouraged to share their ideas. They were encouraged to brainstorm. On the very last day, the 17th of August, they had a set of presentations covering some of the things they’d learned from one another over those six weeks. This is the first moment when the shape of artificial intelligence - as we think of it today - becomes visible. The workshop participants returned to their respective institutions filled good ideas, high hopes - and completely unrealistic expectations. They reckoned they’d have machines that could think in five years. 10 years, tops. It didn’t work out that way. The most obvious obstacle was that no one had a workable definition of intelligence. Not human intelligence, and certainly not artificial intelligence. If you don’t know how to describe intelligence how can you build that into a machine? So the search for artificial intelligence became a quest to understand intelligence more broadly. That’s a hard problem. 70 years later it’s not clear that we have a much better idea of what intelligence is. But that didn’t stop these first pioneers. Instead, they borrowed from what they all agreed was a marker of high intelligence, deciding that if the computer could reproduce that capability, the computer must be intelligent. It's all so logical. And all so very wrong. Almost all of them were excellent chess players. All of them agreed that chess was an excellent example of intelligence. So why not teach the computer to play chess? It’s an interesting idea. But it was quickly disproven. Yes, you could teach a computer to play chess. Turns out, that wasn't even terrifically hard. A computer can think so much faster than a person it can simply work its way through every chess move available to it, selecting the best one. It has the advantage of speed. But not intelligence. By 1977 you could buy a little computer that could play chess - and beat the pants off of almost anyone except a master player. Those computers weren’t intelligent. Another approach taken early on worked from the idea that it might be possible to teach a computer enough facts about the world that the computer would be able to make intelligent decisions about how to operate in real world. This is called the 'top-down' approach to artificial intelligence. On the surface it sounds like a good idea. In practice it’s basically unworkable. Because there is so much knowledge that is embedded in this world, it is almost impossible to teach it to a machine. There have been multiple attempts. The last of them only drew to a close in 2017. None of them worked. Artificial intelligence was an incredibly active field of research in the 1960s and the 1970s as that first generation of pioneers worked its way through the hard problems. Only to learn that the hard problems didn’t get any easier. The people paying for all of this work got disappointed in a lack of progress, withdrew their funding, and forward progress in AI ground to a halt. This is known as the first “AI Winter“. Then came along the second generation of researchers, led by a brilliant Australian by the name of Rodney Brooks. Brooks took a look at the world. Creatures as simple as insects could make very good decisions about the world. With very little intelligence. How did they do that? Brooks decided to design computers and robots that took their cues from those insects. Suddenly robots could climb staircases. They could walk upright. All sorts of things that have been very hard to do before with the top-down approach - and which we don’t think of as intelligence but actually require a great deal of smarts - they all worked worked with Brooks' 'bottom-up' approach to artificial ingtelligence. This caused an enormous burst of enthusiasm. If it was possible to use simple techniques to solve complex problems, maybe, just maybe, we could build artificial intelligence from the bottom up rather than the top down. They gave it a red-hot go. And it's not that the approach failed. But there are limits. Insect intelligence is incredibly useful. It's given us all sorts of crazy robots that can balance themselves and perform dexterous tasks. But those body smarts aren't the smarts we think of as smarts - even though they are legitimately smart. The kinds of things researchers wanted to do with artificial intelligence... [ John Sculley on Agents.wav ] That's John Sculley, the man who famously fired Steve Jobs when running Apple Computer. Sculley wanted to leave his own mark on computing, so he pointed to an amazing future of autonomous agents. But there was one problem. Autonomous agents need artificial intelligence. And in 1987 - when Sculley introduced agents to the world - there wasn't any artificial intelligence they could use. Insects can't do research. And that was the great disappointment of the 2nd age of AI. Not that it didn't work.It did. But it didn't do hold the answer to the great promise of artificial intelligence: machines that think like people do. And so - despite the great robots and the robot vacuum cleaners that popped up in living rooms - interest in AI waned again. The second AI winter. That winter lasted for more than a decade. From the late 1990s through around 2010. And we come to what we think of as the 'modern' age of AI. Two great minds played complementary roles. Fei-Fei Li and Ilya Sutskever. Fei-Fei Li realised that you were going to need a lot of data to train artificial intelligence systems. So she put together the IMAGENET project. 14 million images. Each of them carefully labeled. A massive project that took years. When that was done, then Ilya Sustskever built software known as AlexNet on top of it. IMAGENET provided raw information, AlexNet provided the intelligence that allowed a computer program to recognise the difference bertween a dog, a boat and a cloud. To do that took huge amounts of information - and massive, massive amounts of computer power. But it worked. And because it worked, it kicked off the modern age of AI. Five years after AlexNet, eight researchers at Google invented the 'Transformer'. The foundation for all modern language models like ChatGPT, Claude - oh, yes, named after Claude Shannon, one of the founders of the field - and Google's Gemini. But it took another five years for for the Transformer to prove its worth. Because, like IMAGENET before it, it had to be trained on billions and billions and billions of words. And who was doing that? Ilya Sutskever - who had moved on from AlexNet to work at a not-for-profit research company. OpenAI. Everything he'd learned from AlexNet went into the tool OpenAI was building on top of the Transformer. On the 30th of November, 2022 - more than 66 years after the Dartmouth workshop on artificial intelligence, OpenAI launched their tool. ChatGPT. And - finally - AI had arrived. Sort of. In our next episode we'll take a look at the last three years of horrible AI, bad AI, mid AI, and finally, 'good enough' AI. And how that changed everything.

Tonight's guest wishes to remain anonymous, so I'm going to call her “Nicki” on tonight's show. Nicki lives near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. That's by design, not by chance. You see, she's always loved spending time in the outdoors. In fact, for the longest time, one of her favorite things to do was take her massive Husky/Lab mix, Steel, to a nearby reservoir, close to a place called “Lycan Loop,” where the two of them would go on nice, long hikes together.Nicki and Steel loved hiking there so much that she had taken him to the reservoir well over 100 times. Then, one day, in spring of 2019, everything changed. That was the day Nicki and Steel had an encounter with a Dogman at the reservoir.Unfortunately, the experience traumatized Nicki so much that she stayed away from the reservoir for four years. We hope you'll tune in to tonight's show and listen to Nicki share what happened that day. If you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.

Celebrate Summerween and Halloween in summer with a complete horror fiction anthology packed with ghost stories, paranormal activity, haunted objects, home-invasion horror, supernatural creatures, and terrifying encounters in the woods.A first date leads two Strickfield teenagers into an abandoned haunted mansion where a ghost child watches from the window. Trapped inside the Carnovasch Estate, they follow the spirit into a dark basement and uncover a two-hundred-year-old secret sealed behind a brick wall. Then a young couple buys a handmade ceramic bowl for one dollar at a yard sale. The cursed object moves by itself, returns whenever they attempt to abandon it, and summons the freezing ghost of a missing artist into their apartment. Their thrift-store bargain has become a paranormal nightmare—and escaping the haunting may require passing it to someone else.Next, two violent serial killers invade an isolated country home and terrorize the family preparing dinner. But the home invaders have chosen the wrong victims. Something inhuman lives inside the house, and the killers are about to learn that they are no longer the most dangerous predators at the table.

The dark narrative of a detective named Schultz who finds himself confronting a grotesque, bioluminescent entity in the titular park. The creature, described as a nightmarish, scaly mass of appendages featuring an angler-like light, serves as the focus of the story's horror. As Schultz observes the creature—initially finding a twisted sense of satisfaction in witnessing its predatory nature—the tone shifts toward dread when he realizes that he, too, is being hunted, culminating in a chilling moment where he is confronted by his own encroaching shadow.https://brett-schumacher-shop.fourthwall.comListen AD Free for $3 a Month Here:https://www.patreon.com/c/CreepyGhostStoriesWelcome to Creepy Ghost Stories, your ultimate horror podcast for the strange, the bizarre, and the unexplained.Hosted by author and narrator Brett Schumacher, this channel is the premier destination for scary stories designed to chill you to the bone or help you drift off to sleep.

What if the goal today isn't to make your life extraordinary?What if it's to learn how to see the extraordinary gift hidden inside the ordinary?In this reflection on Psalm 104, John Ortberg explores how modern life has changed the way we see the world around us. We know more than ever about how nature works, yet we may have lost something along the way: our ability to experience creation as filled with meaning, wonder, and the presence of God.Drawing on Charles Taylor and Dallas Willard, John invites us to recover the eyes of "saints, poets, and artists" and rediscover what Willard called "the well-kept secret of the ordinary."Birds sing.Trees grow.Wild animals drink.Leviathan frolics.People go to work.And apparently God really likes hyraxes.Psalm 104 invites us to look again and recognize that ordinary creation is overflowing with the generosity, creativity, and goodness of God.In this episode:Psalm 104 and the wonder of creationCharles Taylor and the "immanent frame"Recovering the enchantment of realityDallas Willard and the secret of ordinary lifeWhy God made the hyraxSeeing creation as more than something to useThe love-letter analogyReceiving your life as a giftFinding God in everyday momentsScriptures:Psalm 104Genesis 1:26–27#Psalm104 #JohnOrtberg #DallasWillard #CharlesTaylor #Psalms #Creation #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Wonder

CannCon and Ashe in America leave the world of pure banking history behind for a moment and step into Chapter 11 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, opening a new section the book calls The New Alchemy. The theme this week is grim but fascinating: how the same fiat money mechanism used to fund banks has also quietly funded wars, and how the profits of war have historically flowed to a very specific set of financiers rather than to nations or causes. The hosts dig into the rise of the House of Rothschild in Europe, the long tradition of financing both sides of a conflict, and the uncomfortable formula connecting debt to war and war back to debt. Expect history that hits differently once you see the pattern, plus the usual sponsor breaks and some behind the scenes audio troubleshooting along the way.

Are The Boulet Brothers the hardest working drag queens in the world? There's an easy case to be made that they are. From hosting their long-running and Emmy nominated show The Boulet Brothers' Dragula, to guest-editing Heavy Metal, to producing and hosting their Creatures of the Night podcast, it's a wonder Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet found the time to join Vespe and Breznican to talk over Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep.Join in on this rambunctious conversation in which we talk about how drop dead sexy Rose the Hat is, debate about which is better: the director's cut or theatrical, figure out if baseball kids kind of deserve to get murdered by psychic vampires, and definitively answer which Stephen King character is best represented in drag. 

This is the Tranquillusionist, in which I, Helen Zaltzman, say a series of words to relax your mind, replace a hectic interior monologue, maybe lull you to sleep, hopefully quell the mental uproar just for a little while. Today: nicknames for woodlice, and a list of cheeses from Great Britain and Ireland. If you need to skip the woodlouse content, go to the 5 minutes 45 seconds mark, whereupon the cheese begins.Note: this is NOT a normal episode of the Allusionist, where you might learn something about language and your brain might be stimulated. The Tranquillusionist's purpose is to soothe your brain and for you to learn very little - perhaps just a couple of facts about woodlouse urination and a 9th-century saint.Visit theallusionist.org/cheesy-cheesybobs for a transcript and more information about cheese and woodlice.There's a collection of other Tranquillusionists at theallusionist.org/tranquillusionist, on themes including champion dogs, Australia's big things, gay animals, ex-constellations and more.Sign up at theallusionist.org/donate to fund the continuing existence of this independent podcast.

Part Two of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two opens in the strange quiet that follows a fight nobody really won.Kabota and his envoy come home from the clearing alive, and to the younger sasquatch that alone feels like a victory.They faced the Dogmen, they drew blood, they sent the pack running. But Kabota has led long enough to know the difference between surviving a fight and winning a war, and he understands what the celebration in the caves does not.The Dogmen will be back. Next time they'll be ready.So the war drums begin. Both sides retreat to lick their wounds and sharpen their strategy, and the forest that once felt like home to Koda hardens into something closer to a battlefield with borders. Patrols double. Boundaries are drawn. Every scent on the wind carries a new weight, and the elders find themselves split between the ones who counsel patience and the ones who can already taste the coming blood.Caught in the middle of it is Koda, fifteen years old and carrying the memory of everything the last three years cost him, still hearing his father's warning that violence should be the last choice and never the first. He's beginning to see how thin the line is between defending a home and starting a war, and how few of the sasquatch around him seem willing to walk it.And out past the tree line, the thing the humans are building keeps growing, indifferent to which side wins.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Tonight's guest is Mike Fitzhugh. Mike is the creator of the Dogman Cometh app, a groundbreaking tool designed to help people who spend time in the woods document, analyze, and investigate potential Dogman evidence right from their smartphones.If someone discovers what they believe might be evidence left behind by a Dogman—such as tufts of fur, unusual tree gouges, tracks, or other signs—they can photograph it with the app and upload it directly for analysis. The app compares submitted evidence against a growing database of known animal characteristics, helping users rule out common wildlife through a process of elimination. It also serves as a powerful field journal, allowing users to document the exact location of sightings, weather conditions, time of day, lunar phase, and other important details that could prove valuable.Beyond documenting evidence, the Dogman Cometh app can help users locate nearby Dogman sightings, identify encounter hotspots, and evaluate how favorable conditions might be for a potential encounter based on factors such as terrain, available food sources, water, weather, and lunar activity.On tonight's show, Mike explains how the app was developed, how it works, and why he believes it can become an invaluable resource for anyone who investigates Dogman reports or spends time searching for answers in the woods.To purchase the Dogman Cometh App or find out more about it, please visit…https://comethdogman.com/  To purchase the Primal Signals Bigfoot App or find out more about it, please visit…PrimalSignals.appIf you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.
