Jerry is back to continue our ongoing series of encounters from the South Mountains and coastal regions of North Carolina—and this chapter takes us deep into one of the most haunting landscapes in the state: the Great Dismal Swamp.In this episode, we hear the chilling account of Mike, a former U.S. military veteran who sets out alone on a hiking and camping trip in the North Carolina section of the swamp.Drawn by solitude and the familiar pull of danger he once knew in the service, Mike hopes the wilderness will fill the void left behind after military life. Instead, the swamp delivers something far more disturbing. As night falls, Mike becomes aware that he's not alone. Strange ape-like vocalizations echo through the darkness. A foul, unfamiliar odor lingers in the air. The sense of being watched grows overwhelming. What begins as unease escalates into a series of close, deeply unsettling encounters with something he cannot identify—something that doesn't want him there. His search for adrenaline is quickly replaced by raw fear and survival instincts.The episode also weaves in parallel encounters from Robert and Angie, along with their friends, near a rural home in coastal North Carolina. Their experiences include unexplained noises in the woods, rocks being thrown from unseen sources, and shadowy figures moving just beyond the tree line—events that mirror Mike's terror and suggest a wider, ongoing presence in the region.Blending wilderness survival, psychological tension, and the supernatural, this episode explores the ancient history and eerie reputation of the Great Dismal Swamp while confronting the unnerving question: what still lives in these forgotten places—and why do some people encounter it while others never do?Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

From August to December 2016, then Marine Special Operations Officer Ivan Ingraham lived on an assault ship off the coast of Sirte, a city in northern Libya that lies between Tripoli and Benghazi. It was the hometown of Muammar Gaddafi, who invested in Sirte before dying there during Libya's first civil war. In the midst of a second civil war, ISIS had filled a power vacuum and overrun the city, sending its civilians fleeing. At the request of Libya's UN-backed Government of National Accord, the United States provided support. Ivan led a five-man special operations team attached to a Marine Expeditionary Unit to help push ISIS out. The mission was known as Operation Odyssey Lightning.

The show starts off with Sami's review of the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica AWD, which boasts a peachy engine and cool seats that can hide away for more storage as needed, but Sami points out there are more than a few concerns with the American company's minivan, and it may be starting to feel a bit old these days. Then Benjamin reviews the 2026 Honda Odyssey, which he pilots through a pair of hefty snowstorms. Though it lacks the all-wheel-drive and versatile seats of the Pacifica, he has more than few reasons to recommend this mighty minivan. Finally, Benjamin regales us with a tale of a near-death experience that he almost forgot about until reminded by Sami and a Facebook memory. Thanks for listening!!

This week on Sasquatch Odyssey, I'm joined by screenwriter and paranormal podcaster Richard Hatem — the mind behind the screenplay for The Mothman Prophecies and the host of Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf. Richard and I first crossed paths back in September at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and I've been excited to get him on the mic ever since.In our conversation, Richard takes us inside his first-ever Mothman Festival experience — the energy, the people, and the strange pull Point Pleasant has on anyone who's even remotely fascinated by the unknown. From there, we dive deep into the making of The Mothman Prophecies: what inspired his approach, how he balanced real-world lore with cinematic storytelling, and the emotional undercurrent he wanted the film to carry. Richard shares what it was like shaping a story that lives in the space between dread, wonder, and grief — and why Mothman remains one of the most haunting and compelling American paranormal legends.We also zoom out into the bigger picture: the strange intersections between Mothman, Bigfoot, UFOs, high strangeness, and the broader paranormal tapestry. Richard offers thoughtful insight into how these phenomena echo each other, why certain stories endure, and what our fascination with the unknown might say about us as human beings.Finally, Richard talks about his show Paranormal Bookshelf and his love for the stories that hide in dusty corners of folklore, eyewitness encounters, and forgotten history — reminding us that the best paranormal discussions aren't just about proving something exists… they're about what these mysteries awaken inside us.If you're into Mothman lore, Bigfoot encounters, or the deeper “why” behind paranormal obsession, this one's for you.Richard Hatem's Paranormal BookshelfGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In a world where faith and creativity often seem at odds, Jesús Canchola Sánchez's journey offers a compelling narrative of reconciliation and growth. Growing up in a Catholic family in Chicago, Jesús's early life was steeped in religious tradition. However, like many teenagers, he rebelled against these teachings, embarking on a journey that would take him far from the church and into the realms of leftist ideologies and diverse belief systems.His exploration led him to Cuba, where he was exposed to communism, and later to New York City, where he immersed himself in a liberal arts education and the vibrant creative scene. Despite his distance from the church, Jesús found solace in the quiet moments spent in its presence, a testament to the enduring power of his grandmother's faith.As a creative, Jesús's journey was marked by significant achievements, including the production of a film in Mexico and the publication of a children's book. Yet, it was his return to Chicago and the church that marked a turning point. Embracing his faith once more, Jesús found a renewed sense of purpose, leading to the creation of his debut novel, "Escape from Natura Meta."Set in a dystopian future, the novel explores themes of faith, identity, and societal manipulation, reflecting Jesús's own journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. As he continues to develop his voice and share stories that resonate with his faith, Jesús's journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of creativity and belief.Subscribe now to follow more stories of faith and creativity.

This week on End Credits, we go to church. Well, the movie goes to church, but we go along for the ride. A house of worship becomes the scene of the crime in the latest Knives Out entry, Wake Up Dead Man, but before diving into one of the last reviews of the year, we will look at some of the movies coming next year!  This Wednesday, December 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Three to See in 2026. As you may have noticed, 2025 is almost over. What kind of year has it been? We'll get to that in a couple of weeks. but for this week we will look ahead to 2026 and some of the movies we're anticipating in the next 12 months. Now, there are some big ones like Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Mandalorian & Grogu, not to mention Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, but we will consider some of the other potential hits coming your way. REVIEW: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025). Blanc's Back! In the latest entry into the Knives Out franchise, murder is afoot in a small town church where the fire-and-brimstone monseigneur is killed in a locked room mystery and the prime suspect is his young colleague, a fellow priest. Daniel Craig returns as everyone's favourite southern gentleman detective, and an all-star cast fills out the ranks of potential suspects, but does this third entry in Rian Johnson's murder-mystery franchise still deliver suspense and surprises? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Alex, Beck, and Tyler catch up in what can only be called a rambling fashion. They immediately launch into a career appreciation of Bill Paxton (RIP); talk sharing Thanksgiving plates and Tyler's 10-carb weekend; take a largely ignorant automotive linguistic detour; defeat the perils of disassembling modern interior trim; grouse about California smog testing; reminisce about the long road to Beck's E46 ZHP sedan going live on the site; and briefly cover VW Type 2 and Vanagon powerplant options.Alex describes the culmination of a lifelong dream: his recent acquisition of, and road trip in, his Euro 1978 308 GTB (spoiler: he reveals that, to this day, he's never had a car break down on the road).

The path is slippery here," Eunji warned.Ko: 그들은 느리지만 확고하게 걸었다.En: They walked slowly but steadily.Ko: 수많은 시간을 지나, 마침내 목적지에 도착했다.En: After countless hours, they finally reached their destination.Ko: "저기 있어요," 은지가 가리키며 말했다.En: "There they are," Eunji pointed out.Ko: 드디어 그 귀한 커피콩이 그들 앞에 있었다.En: At last, the precious coffee beans were before them.Ko: 하지만 구름이 몰려오고 있었다.En: But clouds were gathering.Ko: 폭풍이 다가오고 있었다.En: A storm was approaching.Ko: "서둘러야 해," 민서가 말했다.En: "We have to hurry," Minseo said.Ko: 그들은 겨울 폭풍이 오기 전, 가능한 많은 커피콩을 모으기 시작했다.En: They began collecting as many coffee beans as possible before the winter storm arrived.Ko: 추위와 피로가 몰려왔지만 그들의 결심은 흔들리지 않았다.En: Despite the encroaching cold and fatigue, their determination remained unshaken.Ko: 은지는 전문성을 발휘하며 그들을 이끌었다.En: Eunji guided them with her expertise.Ko: 마침내, 그들은 무사히 로스터리로 돌아왔다.En: Finally, they returned safely to the roastery.Ko: 바깥의 차가운 공기와는 대비되는 따뜻한 로스터리 안에서 그들은 성취감으로 가득 찼다.En: Inside the warm roastery, contrasting with the cold air outside, they were filled with a sense of accomplishment.Ko: "여정이 우리 모두를 단단하게 만들었어요," 현우가 말했다.En: "This journey has made us all stronger," Hyunwoo said.Ko: "커피보다 더 귀한 것은 사람들과의 연결인 것 같아요."En: "I think what's more precious than coffee is our connection with people."Ko: 은지와 현우, 민서는 새로운 파트너십을 결심했다.En: Eunji, Hyunwoo, and Minseo decided on a new partnership.Ko: 협력과 인내의 가치를 깨달은 현우는 이제 혼자가 아닌 동료들과 함께 길을 나아갔다.En: Realizing the value of collaboration and perseverance, Hyunwoo was now moving forward with colleagues, not alone.Ko: 모두는 함께 노력하면 어떤 겨울도 이겨낼 수 있다는 것을 깨달았다.En: They all understood that together, they could overcome any winter.Ko: 그렇게, 그들의 카페는 특별한 커피와 특별한 이야기를 품고 새로운 시작을 알렸다.En: Thus, their cafe heralded a new beginning, filled with special coffee and special stories.

Jerry returns to the show for another deep dive into the South Mountains of North Carolina—a region he calls one of the strangest “hotspot” corridors he's ever researched. Drawing from decades of local accounts, family histories, and firsthand reports, Jerry traces a chilling pattern of unexplained activity across the South Mountains, the Great Smokies, the Blue Ridge, and even the Pacific Northwest.This episode unfolds like a living archive of the weird: early-1900s stories of eerie vocalizations rolling through the hollers, barns disturbed in the dead of night, and unsettling encounters that left families questioning what really stalks those ridgelines. From Carpenter's Knob to backroads you'd never notice on a map, the stories stack up—each one different, yet threaded by the same sense of being watched, followed, or hunted.Then the episode pivots into something even darker: the black-eyed children phenomenon.Through Dave, the lifelong partner of Susan, we hear her spine-freezing encounter that followed her mother's death—a night marked by a knock at the door, a request to be let inside, and the unmistakable terror of realizing something wasn't human. Susan's experience mirrors incidents tied to her mother years earlier, raising disturbing questions about generational patterns, grief triggers, and why certain places seem to attract the unexplainable.By the end, you'll be left wondering what makes these mountains a magnet for high-strangeness—and whether some forces don't just haunt locations… but follow bloodlines.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsEpisode Timeline00:00 – Welcome back to the South Mountains series01:35 – What makes a “hotspot”?

The Author Events Series presents The Aeneid: Translating the Classics with Emily Wilson, Scott McGill, and Susannah Wright Crafted during the reign of Augustus Caesar at the outset of the Roman Empire, Virgil's Aeneid is a tale of thrilling adventure, extreme adversity, doomed romance, fateful battles, and profound loss. Through its stirring account of human struggle, meddling gods, and conflicting destinies, the poem brings to life the triumphs and trials that led to one of the most powerful societies the world has ever known. Unlike its Homeric predecessors, which arose from a long oral tradition, the Aeneid was composed by a singular poetic genius, and it has ever since been celebrated as one of the greatest literary achievements of antiquity. This exciting new edition of the Aeneid, the first collaborative translation of the poem in English, is rendered in unrhymed iambic pentameter, the English meter that corresponds best, in its history and cultural standing, to Virgil's dactylic hexameter. Scott McGill and Susannah Wright achieve an ideal middle ground between readability and elevation, engaging modern readers with fresh, contemporary language in a heart-pounding, propulsive rhythm, while also preserving the epic dignity of the original. The result is a brisk, eminently approachable translation that captures Virgil's sensitive balance between celebrating the Roman Empire and dramatizing its human costs, for victors and vanquished alike. This Aeneid is a poem in English every bit as complex, inviting, and affecting as the Latin original. With a rich and informative introduction from Emily Wilson, maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, genealogies, extensive notes, and helpful summaries of each book, this gorgeous edition of Rome's founding poem will capture the imaginations and stir the souls of a new generation of readers. Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been named a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome in Renaissance and early modern studies, a MacArthur Fellow, and a Guggenheim Fellow. In addition to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, she has also published translations of Sophocles, Euripides, and Seneca. She lives in Philadelphia. Scott McGill is Deedee McMurtry Professor in Humanities at Rice University. He lives in Houston, Texas. Susannah Wright is an assistant professor of classical studies and Roman history at Rice University. She lives in Houston, Texas.

I'm joined today by Cosima Carnegie, better known on social media as Cosi's Odyssey: a classicist, writer, and creative producer whose work brings Greek myth and ritual into the present through essays, videos, and immersive events. We're talking not only about her journey into Classics, but about the four books that have most influenced her on her path to scholarship. It's a great blend that opens up conversations about childhood reading, ancient ritual, the visual imagination of Greek art, and what it means to inherit stories across generations.Talking to Cosi was a huge amount of fun, and I know you're going to enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!Cosi Carnegie's four books were:Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan (2005–09)Medea, Euripides (431 BC)The Aesthetics of the Greek Banquet, François Lissarrague (1990)An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic, Daniel Mendelsohn (2017)

In this episode, Fred shares chilling wilderness accounts that remind us how quickly the familiar can turn unnerving in remote places. First, Margaret and Kyle set out for a simple berry-picking outing—until an oppressive feeling of being watched settles in. What starts as subtle unease escalates when they spot an enormous figure moving nearby, forcing them into a tense, instinct-driven retreat.Then we head to the Alcan Highway, where Jonathan's late-night drive takes a terrifying turn. Alone in his RV, he's jolted awake by violent impacts against the vehicle—an apparent attack by something powerful, unknown, and determined.With nowhere to run and no clear explanation for what's outside, Jonathan is left to endure a long, fear-soaked night on one of the most isolated roads in North America.Together, these stories explore the raw, primal dread that can surface in the wild, the sense that we're not always alone out there, and the haunting questions that linger when encounters defy logic. Listener discretion is advised—these accounts are intense, unsettling, and may stay with you long after the episode ends.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Join me as I review The Odyssey of Gilthanas by Douglas Niles, Steve Miller, and Stan! live! Share your thoughts on this Dragonlance Reader’s Companion, released by Wizards of the Coast on July 20, 1999. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/4iLlIoC  https://youtube.com/live/tiMbQv10ITc About The Odyssey of Gilthanas Gilthanas, legendary Hero of the Lance, has loved and lost. He drove his beloved away, unable to accept the fact that Silvara is not an elf, but an ancient dragon. Too late, he realized that she is the only person who can make his life complete. Now the elven prince quests to find his lost love. Assassins dog his trail as Gilthanas travels across an Ansalon scarred by Chaos and the coming of the Great Dragons, searching for his heart’s desire. Will Gilthanas find Silvara, or will death find him first? This novella explores for the first time the fate of the DRAGONLANCE Saga’s most famous lovers. An appendix in the tradition of Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home provides details on Gilthanas’s Odyssey, as well as the complete rules to the DRAGON WARS card game.

In this episode, Brian sits down with filmmaker Eric Fulford—director of Bigfoot Enterprises: The True-ish Adventures of Patterson and Gimlin—joins the show to pull back the curtain on his upcoming film and the real-world story that inspired it.Eric shares how a lifelong fascination with Bigfoot, sparked by the legendary Patterson-Gimlin film, shaped both his creativity and his curiosity.But instead of rehashing the usual debate over what was—or wasn't—captured on camera in 1967, Eric takes us somewhere deeper: into the human drama behind Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. Their ambitions, risks, personalities, and the cultural moment they stepped into become the heart of his film.We talk about why this project is less about the creature and more about the characters, and how Eric plans to deliver a respectful, adventurous, and creatively reimagined retelling that still honors the legacy of the original story. He also breaks down the independent, community-powered approach to funding the film, inviting the Bigfoot world to help bring it to life.If you've ever been fascinated by the Patterson-Gimlin footage—or wondered about the people who filmed it—this conversation offers a fresh, compelling look at one of cryptozoology's most iconic chapters.Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at the legend, the filmmakers, and the untold story that made Bigfoot history.Support Bigfoot EnterprisesGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode, North Carolina resident Jerry Millwood shares a decades-long history of Sasquatch encounters, tracing his fascination back to the 1970s after seeing The Legend of Boggy Creek.What began as curiosity grew into a sustained, personal journey of observation and research—one that has included multiple sightings and unexplained events both in the region and on his own property.Jerry walks us through the progression of his experiences, from early signs like unusual tree breaks and activity in the surrounding woods to increasingly close encounters, including sightings near his home and even within view of his front yard. Along the way, he describes recurring patterns of behavior he's witnessed over the years: rock-throwing incidents, powerful vocalizations, heavy nighttime movement, and what he believes are deliberate visits after dark.Beyond the encounters themselves, Jerry speaks candidly about the difficulty of coming forward with stories like these, the social pressure that often keeps witnesses silent, and why skepticism is essential in separating genuine experiences from misinterpretation or hoaxes. He also highlights the importance of community—how local knowledge, trusted researchers, and shared fieldwork have helped him test what he's seen and stay grounded in the search for answers.The episode closes with Jerry discussing his involvement in organized research efforts, including groups such as Sasquatch Recon and NCI. He reflects on how documenting and sharing his experiences has led to unexpected validations, new connections, and a deeper commitment to understanding what may be happening in the wild places around him.Whether you're a long-time believer, a careful skeptic, or somewhere in between, Jerry's account offers a detailed, thoughtful look at what sustained, real-world Sasquatch activity can feel like over a lifetime.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Have you ever wondered about the true story behind the first Thanksgiving?Happy Thanksgiving from Sasquatch Odyssey. For this special holiday episode, the show steps away from its usual encounter reports and witness interviews to share something different: an original work of fiction that reimagines one of America's most iconic moments.What if the first Thanksgiving wasn't just a meeting between two peoples, but three? What if the Wampanoag arrived at the 1621 harvest celebration with a guest the colonists agreed to protect and keep hidden—an agreement passed quietly through generations for more than four hundred years? This episode tells the story of Yahyel, a Sasquatch elder who reveals himself to William Bradford and the Plymouth colonists, offering ancient wisdom, urgent warnings, and a promise that stretches across centuries.The narrative follows the descendants of that first feast as they safeguard the secret through revolution, expansion, war, and cultural change—carrying it from the earliest days of the colonies into the modern age of DNA databases, thermal drones, and digital discovery.Along the way, the story blends real historical touchstones with cryptid folklore, exploring themes of cooperation, respect for the land, and the responsibility to protect wild places that cannot protect themselves.To be clear: this is fiction. A holiday campfire story created to spark imagination, not to rewrite history. The episode makes no claim that these events occurred, and it is not presented as a factual account.But it invites a simple question: what if something like this could have been true?What if ancient promises still mattered, mysteries still lived in the deep forests, and beings older than human memory were quietly watching—waiting for the moment humanity was ready to meet them with respect instead of fear? Whether you're a true believer or a friendly skeptic, this Thanksgiving episode is meant to bring a little wonder to your holiday. May your plates be full, your company be warm, and your sense of mystery never fade.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Welcome to this special collection episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, featuring six of the most compelling Bigfoot encounters I've documented across the Southeastern United States over the past five years. These stories span sixty years of fear, awe, and unanswered questions, carrying us from Alabama's river bottoms to South Carolina's swamps, and showing why the South may be one of the last true sanctuaries for something we still don't understand.We open in the suffocating heat of Alabama in 1967, where a power company lineman working near the Cahaba River noticed something impossible: massive handprints sunk deep into a utility pole. Moments later, he found himself face to face with a towering presence that moved with purpose and intelligence. That encounter sets the tone for everything that follows—brief, terrifying interactions where the creature controls the moment, revealing itself only on its own terms.From there, we climb into the mountains of North Georgia in 1973, where four seasoned hunters discovered the woods had a hierarchy they didn't sit atop.Near Blue Ridge, their camp became the target of relentless intimidation—rocks crashing through darkness, trees shaking violently, and a chilling discovery at dawn: dozens of stick figures arranged in a perfect warning circle around them. The night didn't just scare them; it shattered friendships and ended their lives in the forest forever.The third account takes us into Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains in 1985, where a park ranger and wildlife biologist experienced something that demolished her scientific certainty. While stationed in a fire tower, she watched a massive creature climb the structure and examine her equipment with unsettling curiosity, as if it understood what it was seeing. Even more disturbing was what she learned afterward—that similar encounters had been quietly documented for decades, tucked away and never meant for public eyes.The most heartbreaking story comes from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas in 1991.A family camping trip turned into a nightmare when towering beings approached their site and demonstrated strength beyond anything human—crushing rocks in their hands while the family huddled in terror. A young girl watched it unfold, and the trauma that followed tore the family apart, leaving permanent scars long after the woods fell silent again. In 2002, deep in North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest, an experienced hiker found himself living through an encounter unlike any other in my files. He described three days in captivity with what appeared to be a family group of these beings, observing tool use, complex social behavior, and a kind of focused curiosity toward human objects. His story challenges the idea of Sasquatch as a solitary wilderness phantom and suggests something closer to culture—structured intelligence living beyond our reach.Our final encounter lands in South Carolina in 2014, when college biology students captured forty-three minutes of high-definition footage of a creature inspecting their research equipment with clear understanding of its purpose.What happened next was just as chilling as what they filmed: a rapid government response, confiscated evidence, and enforced silence that raises the question of how long this phenomenon has truly been known—and how actively it's been buried.Across six stories and six decades, the same threads surface again and again: the heavy, musky odor that announces their presence, the massive handprints left behind like signatures, and the unnerving sense of being watched by something that doesn't panic or flee—but evaluates. Most unsettling of all is the repeated realization that these creatures could harm us effortlessly, yet choose restraint instead. Witnesses don't describe a mere animal. They describe something hovering in a blurred space between human and beast, perfectly adapted to remain hidden while living alongside us. What emerges from these accounts is a portrait of the American South as a vast refuge for an undiscovered species—or perhaps a parallel branch of human evolution that chose isolation over contact. From Alabama's rivers to Tennessee's peaks and the deep wild of the Ozarks and Carolinas, these beings have claimed territories in the spaces we've ignored or forgotten. They watch from cover, occasionally stepping into view when a boundary is crossed, always vanishing before the mystery can be pinned down. They want you to know the woods are not empty, that something ancient and intelligent still moves through them, and that the old instinct to tread carefully in the dark may be rooted in more than superstition.As you listen, notice how the behavior of these creatures shifts over time, especially around human technology. Consider what it means that responses to evidence sometimes seem immediate and organized. And ask yourself what else might be sitting in classified files, protected by silence and dismissal. These aren't campfire tales or urban legends. They are documented encounters from credible witnesses whose lives were never the same afterward. The South keeps its secrets well, but every now and then—between darkness and dawn, between wilderness and civilization—those secrets step out just long enough to remind us how much we still don't know.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

When people think of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, they often picture tweedy Oxford professors and beloved fantasy authors. But their writing wasn't drawn only from their bucolic days teaching at Oxford and walking in the English countryside; it had a darker, deeper backdrop: the trenches of World War I and the cataclysm of World War II. Lewis and Tolkien weren't just fantasy writers — they were war veterans, cultural critics, and men with firsthand knowledge of evil, heroism, and sacrifice.In today's episode, I'm joined by Joseph Loconte, returning to the show to discuss his latest book, The War for Middle Earth. We explore how both world wars shaped the perspectives of Tolkien and Lewis, found their way into works like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, and infused their literary masterpieces with moral weight, spiritual depth, and timeless themes of resistance, friendship, and redemption. We also talk about the legendary friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, the creation of the Inklings, and how the men demonstrated the countercultural power of imaginative storytelling.Resources Related to the PodcastRelated AoM podcasts:#178: The Inklings Mastermind Group#272: Lewis, Tolkien, and the Myth of Progress (Loconte's first appearance on the AoM podcast)#430: Why You Need to Join the Great Conversation About the Great Books#499: A Fascinating Primer on Norse Mythology #594: How Churchill (and London) Survived the Blitz of 1940#723: Men Without Chests#765: C.S.
