Dr. Max Gulhane (MD) is a practising family medicine physician and health-optimising physician with a passion for root-cause analysis of human chronic disease and longevity. We discuss the full solar spectrum and how ultraviolet, visible, blue, red and near-infrared light each affect human physiology, including the POMC pathway, nitric oxide and blood pressure, and the evidence on sunlight, skin cancer and the vitamin D paradox. We discuss how artificial light at night suppresses melatonin and disrupts the circadian control of DNA repair, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. For those interested in light and circadian health, Dr. Gulhane offers a grounded, mechanism-focused framework for aligning daily light exposure with human biology.Full Show Notes here.

In this episode of Precision and Progress: Radiotherapy in Oncology, hosts Hirsch Matani, MD, and Elizabeth Zhang-Velten, MD, PhD, welcomed Binh T. Ngo, MD, to discuss the evolving role of radiation, systemic therapy, and multidisciplinary care for patients with melanoma and other skin cancers.Dr Matani is a clinical assistant professor of radiation oncology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) and a radiation oncologist at the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr Zhang-Velten is a radiation oncologist and a clinical assistant professor with Keck Medicine of USC. Dr Ngo is an assistant professor of dermatology at Keck Medicine of USC.In their discussion, Drs Matani, Zhang-Velten, and Ngo broke down how surgical approaches, radiation, and systemic therapy all play roles in the treatment of patients with skin cancer. Dr Ngo highlighted key prevention strategies that patients should be advised on, along with recommended follow-ups for patients who are at higher risk or those who underwent prior solid organ or hematologic transplants.The trio also discussed how the use of radiation for patients with skin cancer varies from techniques used for patients with tumors located within deeper organs, and they also highlighted how radiotherapy approaches could be applied for patients with tumors that would be difficult to surgically resect.

May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and on this important episode of Fishing the DMV, I am joined by Mercy Viator, Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner, to talk about two of the most dangerous threats facing anglers, hunters, hikers, kayakers, campers, and outdoor people everywhere: skin cancer and ticks/Lyme disease.When most people think about outdoor danger, they usually think about bad weather, rough water, accidents, hooks, wildlife, or getting lost. But the truth is, two of the biggest long-term health risks for people who spend a lot of time outside are sun exposure that can lead to skin cancer and tick bites that can lead to Lyme disease. These are serious outdoor health risks that every angler, hunter, and outdoorsman needs to take seriously before their next trip.In this episode, we break down why preparation matters, how to better protect yourself, and why prevention should be part of your regular fishing, hunting, hiking, and outdoor routine. Anglers are especially exposed because we spend long hours on the water under direct sunlight, reflected UV rays, and constantly changing weather conditions. We discuss the importance of routine skin checks, early detection, sun safety, and making UV protection a non-negotiable part of your gear.Mercy shares insight on the right type of sunscreen for fishing, how often you should reapply it, what sun-protective clothing actually helps, and why wide-brim hats, face coverings, sunglasses, gloves, and lightweight UV gear should be treated just like rods, reels, tackle, life jackets, and safety equipment. Whether you're fishing a tournament, bank fishing a local pond, wading a river, kayaking, or spending all day on the boat, protecting yourself from the sun is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy for the long run.We also dive into ticks and Lyme disease, another major threat for anyone who spends time outdoors across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. If you fish from the bank, hike through wooded trails, hunt, camp, kayak, or walk through tall grass to reach your favorite spot, tick prevention needs to be on your radar. Lyme disease can have serious long-term effects, and we discuss practical steps you can take to reduce your risk, check yourself after outdoor adventures, and make sure you are prepared before heading outside.The goal of this episode is simple: help anglers, hunters, and outdoor people understand that preparation can make all the difference. You can't always control the sun, the weather, the woods, or the water, but you can control whether you wear the right clothing, use the right sunscreen, check for ticks, and build smart habits that protect your health.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves fishing, hunting, hiking, kayaking, camping, boating, or spending time outside. Protecting yourself from skin cancer and Lyme disease is not optional — it is part of being prepared.Topics covered in this episode include:Skin Cancer Awareness Month Melanoma prevention for anglers Why sun exposure is dangerous for fishermen Sun safety while fishing Best sunscreen habits for outdoor people UV fishing clothing and sun-protective gear Fishing hats, face masks, gloves, and sunglasses Why anglers should get routine skin checks Tick prevention for fishermen, hunters, and hikers Lyme disease awareness in the outdoors How to check yourself for ticks after fishing or hunting Outdoor safety tips for the Mid-Atlantic fishing communityWhether you fish the Potomac River, Shenandoah River, Susquehanna River, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Anna, Smith Mountain Lake, Buggs Island, the Upper James River, or your local pond, this episode is a reminder that protecting your health is part of being prepared on the water, in the woods, and anywhere the outdoors takes you.On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I am joined by Mercy Viator, Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner.  Mercy Viator on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dermnpmercy?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Mercy Viator on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dermnpmercy?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Mercy Viator Top Choice on the best sunscreen to buy: https://shopmy.us/collections/5423594 Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/  Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/  Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278  Email: lin@fishingprotech.us   Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168Support the show

A skin check might feel routine, but it's often where small decisions can carry the most risk. In this webinar and Q&A session, David Gardner (solicitor and former AHPRA investigator) offers an inside look at where GPs can feel exposed in everyday skin cancer consultations. Through real-world scenarios, David walks through how seemingly straightforward cases can become more complex from a billing, documentation, and patient expectation perspective. Delivered in collaboration with AHPD, this webinar explores what it means to stay confident and defensible in your day-to-day practice. The session includes Q&A and case discussions.

Skin cancer prevention methods As we head into the warmer months, more of us are spending time outdoors — whether it's at the pool, on a hike or simply walking around the neighborhood. But with that sunshine comes a risk that often gets overlooked. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., and experts say many cases are preventable with simple, consistent habits. Still, there's a lot of confusion out there about sunscreen safety, how much protection we really need, and who's actually at risk. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll clear up some common misconceptions and learn practical tips to help protect your skin. Guest:- David Crowe, M.D., Chair, Department of Dermatology, MetroHealth Building Northeast Ohio's workforce When Team NEO, the region's economic development organization, put together it's projection for the region's economy and workforce over the next four years it found a mixed picture. On one hand, the output of goods and services produced by the businesses and workers is expected to grow 20% by the year 2030. But over the same time, the actual number of workers in the region is expected to grow just 3%. How can Northeast Ohio's economic and workforce organizations help bring those numbers in better alignment so that Cleveland and Northeast Ohio can keep up with the economic pace of both the state and nation? That's a key question that those who assembled the report are trying to answer.

In aesthetic practice, it is easy to focus on what is visible and cosmetic: pigmentation, sun damage, redness, texture. But as NP Kelly Beasy and Dr Dianne King highlight in this episode of The Aesthetic Shift podcast, appearances can be misleading. This conversation explores a critical overlap in modern practice: aesthetic treatments and skin cancer vigilance. As aesthetic services expand across general practice and nursing-led clinics, so too does the responsibility to recognise when a lesion is not simply “cosmetic”. Dr King shares insights from decades of experience spanning general practice, GP dermatology, dermoscopy, and skin cancer medicine. Her message is clear: without a structured approach to skin assessment, including appropriate history-taking and lesion recognition, there is a real risk of treating or altering lesions that require medical investigation. The discussion focuses on clinical realities, including: Subtle facial melanomas that may mimic benign pigmentation The risk of altering lesions with lasers, IPL, or cryotherapy before diagnosis Key history and visual cues that should prompt referral The importance of dermoscopy skills and clear referral pathways in aesthetic settings Rather than discouraging aesthetic care, the episode reinforces how skin cancer literacy strengthens it, improving safety, clinical confidence, and patient trust. For GPs, nurses, and aesthetic practitioners working at this intersection, this conversation is a timely reminder that “cosmetic” and “clinical” are often closer than they appear.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new data from a pre-specified expanded dataset analysis of the company's Phase 2 SKNJCT-003 clinical trial, highlighting a positive dose-response relationship for its Doxorubicin Microneedle Array in the treatment of nodular basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. Bokhari explained that the additional analysis builds on previously reported positive topline results, offering deeper biological, histologic, and safety insights that further strengthen the therapeutic profile of the company's SkinJect platform. He noted that the findings are consistent with earlier clinical data, including results from the Phase 1 SKNJCT-001 study conducted in 2021 and interim Phase 2 data reported in March 2025, reinforcing the reproducibility and reliability of the treatment approach across multiple studies. The SKNJCT-003 trial was designed as a randomized, double-blind, three-arm Phase 2 study evaluating two different dose levels of microneedle-delivered doxorubicin compared to a device-only control. Conducted across multiple clinical sites, the study enrolled approximately 90 patients diagnosed with nodular basal cell carcinoma, aiming to assess both safety and efficacy in a controlled setting. According to Bokhari, the expanded dataset—verified through centralized pathology review—provides a clearer and more clinically meaningful picture of treatment outcomes. Among the cohorts, the 200-microgram dose at Day 57 emerged as the most promising, demonstrating the strongest and most consistent efficacy signal. These results suggest that the treatment may offer a non-surgical alternative for certain patients, potentially reducing or delaying the need for immediate excision of cancerous lesions. Such an approach could represent a meaningful shift in the standard treatment paradigm for BCC, particularly given the relatively short treatment and evaluation window used in the study. Bokhari added that the data package could support future registration-focused discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including considerations around optimal dosing, patient selection, lesion subtype, and treatment timelines. The company believes these findings position SkinJect as a potentially innovative and practical therapeutic option in the dermatologic oncology space. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #SkinJect #ClinicalTrials #Phase2 #Biotech #Dermatology #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #Microneedle #DrugDelivery #Oncology #MedicalInnovation #Healthcare #FDA #Biopharma

Returning guest, coach Colleen Miracle, joins us to talk about something many trail runners know they should care about but often ignore: sun protection. The conversation is based on Colleen's UltraSignup article "Why Ultrarunners Face a Higher Risk of Skin Cancer and Decreased Running Performance." Colleen shares her own experience with stage-one skin cancer on her lip, which began as what looked like a small freckle but turned out to be a wound that would not heal. The episode gets practical fast, covering SPF 30, UPF clothing, sun hoodies, lip sunscreen, reapplication during races, altitude exposure, cloudy-day risk, and why a "base tan" is not real protection. For endurance athletes, the biggest takeaway is that sun damage is not just a long-term health issue; during long efforts, your body may divert energy toward cooling and repairing damaged skin instead of helping you keep moving. It is a useful, slightly uncomfortable reminder that protecting your skin may be as important to longevity in the sport as shoes, fueling, or strength work.

The Cancer Society's asking political parties to stop tinkering around the edges and unite to more strongly fight the disease. It's joined with the Government to each commit another $1 million towards the Sun Smart skin cancer prevention programme. But the Society is also calling for more cervical and lung cancer screening, and to bring down the bowel cancer screening age. Chief Executive Nicola Coom told Mike Hosking skin cancer prevention has been underinvested in for decades, despite being the country's biggest killer. She says there's no doubt we've made a bit of progress in the last few years, but it's not enough to respond to the large number of cancer diagnoses New Zealand is currently facing.

It took the deliciously unhinged creative genius of Miranda July to invent a dating questionnaire that asks the questions no one else is brave enough to ask. Forget your height or if you like 'long walks on the beach'; Em is looking at the prompts that actually reveal your soul, like a photo of your bookshelves, your messy bed, or a screenshot of your ex describing you via text. So, what would you ask, to really get to know someone? And is the secret to finding love just showing someone the inside of your fridge? There’s a name for that 'meh' feeling you have after a day at work: Office air. Thanks to a smart TikTok creator, Clare has finally figured out why we all look like 'sick Victorian children' by the time the clock strikes five. Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman is currently on a promo circuit, but she isn't talking about her latest film. Instead, she’s opening up about her desire to become a death doula after the devastating loss of her mother. So Holly’s asking: What is a death doula? Why don’t work and caring and basically, life, stop for you to deal with losing a loved one? And how do we get better at understanding that the loss of a parent - even at an age deemed ‘appropriate’ - is often completely unmooring. And finally, according to Vogue, nobody’s getting their nails done any more.

In this clinically rich episode, host Dr. Ted Lain sits down with board-certified dermatologist and global skin cancer expert Dr. Todd Schlesinger — AAD Board of Directors member, Mohs surgeon, clinical assistant professor at George Washington University School of Medicine, and medical director of the Clinical Research Center of the Carolinas — for a deep dive into systemic and targeted therapies for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The doctors begin with a thorough breakdown of the hedgehog signaling pathway (PATCHED, Smoothened, GLI-1 transcription) and how mutations in this pathway drive basal cell carcinoma (BCC) growth. They compare the two FDA-approved hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) — vismodegib (Erivedge) and sonidegib (Odomzo) — covering their mechanisms of action, volume of distribution differences (16–18L vs. ~9,000L), indications for locally advanced and metastatic BCC, how to define "locally advanced," and complete vs. partial response rates. Dosing strategies are addressed in detail, including alternate-day dosing and treatment breaks backed by the MIKIE study and STEVIE safety study. For managing the most common adverse events — muscle cramps, dysgeusia, weight loss, and fatigue — Dr. Schlesinger shares his clinical protocol using L-carnitine supplementation (1,500–2,000mg liquid, started 2–4 weeks before therapy) along with calcium and CoQ10. The conversation then moves to PD-1 and PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors for locally advanced and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and BCC, covering cemiplimab (Libtayo), pembrolizumab (Keytruda), and nivolumab (Opdivo). The hosts explain the immune checkpoint mechanism using a memorable analogy, discuss how UV exposure upregulates PD-1 on tumor cells, and explore the practical realities of dermatologists prescribing infusion-based immunotherapy — including multidisciplinary care team logistics, buy-and-bill considerations, and when to partner with oncology. The episode closes with an exciting look at the pipeline: intralesional therapies for nodular and superficial BCC from companies including Verica, iViva, PHIO, and Feldan, red light PDT for superficial BCC nearing FDA approval, and the broader question of where these drugs fit as neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or primary therapies — and what complete response benchmarks (80–95%) dermatologists should expect before adopting non-surgical primary options.

Send us Fan MailSunlight has been framed as a problem to avoid, but the data keeps pointing in the opposite direction: people who get more natural light tend to live longer and carry a lower risk of chronic disease. We take a hard look at why this topic still feels controversial, and how fear based messaging can flatten a complex risk-benefit reality into a single command: stay out of the sun.We walk through a powerful new UK Biobank analysis on habitual ultraviolet exposure and mortality, using a detailed exposure model that captures real-world behavior, not just a lab estimate. The headline is difficult to ignore: higher UV exposure tracks with lower cardiovascular and non-skin cancer mortality, without a clear increase in skin cancer mortality in the findings. That forces a more balanced conversation about sunlight, all-cause mortality, and what “safe” actually means when heart disease and cancer remain the biggest killers.Then we go deeper than vitamin D. We talk nitric oxide, vascular function, clotting biology, inflammation markers, proteomic signals, circadian rhythm, and why morning light is one of the most underused tools for better sleep and mood. We also revisit the forgotten history of heliotherapy and how modern indoor living, artificial light, and aggressive sun avoidance can create a kind of paleo deficit disorder.If this changes how you think about sunlight and health, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review.

Your skin is an organ that takes hits all day long, and not just from sunlight. We sit down with dermatologist and former molecular immunologist Dr. Dusan Saeic to unpack what actually drives skin aging at the cellular level: DNA damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress from UV exposure and pollution. Along the way, he shares the personal turning point that changed his career, becoming a skin cancer patient and refusing to accept that sun damage is always permanent.We talk about the surprising research trail connecting heavy sun exposure to senescent “zombie cells” and why those signals may matter for more than wrinkles, including possible links to dementia and heart disease in large datasets. Then we get practical: how to think about mineral sunscreen, why SPF does not scale the way most people assume, how much sunscreen you really need for the face and neck, and what to do when you feel stuck between sunscreen fears and the real risk of UV damage.The most actionable takeaway is accountability. Dr. Saeic explains emerging diagnostics like redox and antioxidant testing (including the PAOT test), high-resolution skin imaging that reveals hidden sun damage, and why personalized skincare can hinge on your individual receptors for ingredients like vitamin C and retinoids. We also dig into longevity-focused treatments such as fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, what “600 microns” means, what downtime actually looks like, and how evidence is evolving on reducing future skin cancers.If you care about healthy aging, skin barrier function, and evidence-based skincare that goes beyond marketing, this conversation will help you build a plan you can measure.

Dr. Raymond Barnhill on Diagnostic Drift, Uncertainty, and the MPATH-Dx V2.0 Approach to Melanocytic LesionsIn this episode of The Girl Doc Survival Guide, Christine interviews Dr. Raymond Barnhill, a world-recognized dermatopathology expert known for work on diagnostically challenging melanocytic lesions, melanoma pathology references, and contributions to WHO skin tumor classification and AJCC melanoma staging. Dr. Barnhill shares career anecdotes and key communities at Yale and in Boston, collaborations with numerous melanoma leaders, and the founding of the North American Melanoma Pathology Study Group and the International Melanoma Pathology Study Group, as well as participation in the NIH-funded MPATH Study Group. The discussion focuses on overdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, and diagnostic discordance in melanocytic lesions, including evidence of diagnostic drift toward calling more lesions melanoma over time and the overlap between melanoma criteria and atypical/dysplastic nevi. He describes MPATH research, explains the revised MPATH-Dx V2.0 schema, explicitly recognizing uncertainty along a continuum rather than a strict benign/malignant threshold. He emphasizes practical diagnostic approaches including measuring lesion size (noting a 4 mm threshold associated with conventional dysplastic nevi and increasing concern at larger sizes), focusing on key architectural features (junctional nest variation/disarray and lentiginous proliferation), using nuclear size relative to keratinocyte nuclei (including a 1.5× threshold and counting atypical cells per high-power field) while accounting for site-specific pitfalls such as scalp nevi. The conversation also covers “gestalt” versus systematic review, the importance of due diligence using full clinical and morphologic information before ancillary testing, and cautions against overreliance on immunohistochemistry or molecular tests. Dr. Barnhill closes with career advice ends with a message that setbacks can be opportunities for growth.00:00 Welcome + Meet Dr. Raymond Barnhill (Dermatopathology Legend)01:51 Career Origins & Melanoma Pathology Mentors (Yale → Boston)03:59 Building Melanoma Pathology Study Groups (North American & International)05:57 Overdiagnosis, Diagnostic Drift & Why Discordance Happens09:43 Inside the MPATH Study: Measuring Interobserver & Intraobserver Agreement11:39 MPATH-Dx V2.0 Explained: Standardized Classes & Treatment Guidance13:59 Redefining “Low-Risk” Melanoma: Stringent pT1a Criteria + Embracing Uncertainty18:47 Practical Grading Tips: Lesion Size, Architecture & Nuclear Atypia Thresholds22:42 Gestalt vs Due Diligence: Avoiding Traps + Using IHC/Molecular Wisely (PRAME)28:39 Career Advice: Passion, Mentors, Community + Final Reflections

Rural life often means being exposed to the sun. With it: the risk of skin cancer. But dermatologists can be hard to come by in the country. At least one practice, though, is making investments in small towns. Then, Colorado has taken some costly hits from the Trump Administration in recent months. It might seem punitive, but the growing number has others seeing a pattern. Also, as a store close to her heart changes hands, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, bestselling author of "Woman of Light" and "Sabrina and Corina," provides an ode to the independent bookstore.

Over the next few weeks, I'm gonna be sharing my new book with you—start to finish. The whole thing. It's called Bigfoot Country. All told, it's around eight hours of narration. So, I'll be putting it out in multiple episodes. And honestly... I've been sitting on this for a long time. I'm excited—and a little nervous—to finally put it out there. But before we jump in, I wanna take a minute. Just you and me.What you're about to hear is loosely based on my life. Some of it happened exactly the way I tell it. No embellishment, no polish. Other parts are rooted in real experiences—real people, real moments, real emotions—but maybe stretched a bit, or reimagined, to help the story breathe. And then there are parts where… well, you get to decide what you believe.I also wanna be upfront about something. Early on, you might find yourself wondering where this is all headed. There's a lot of groundwork—family, childhood, personal history. Just know this: it's going somewhere. This book is about Bigfoot. That's the destination. I promise. Just trust me long enough to get there. At its heart, this is a story about my earliest experiences with the strange and unexplained. It starts with something that happened to me when I was twelve years old—an encounter with what I believe was a Sasquatch. That moment stayed with me. It shaped a lot of who I became. And for years, I struggled with how—or even if—I should ever tell that story. Because how do you talk about something the world insists isn't real? How do you open yourself up like that, knowing people are gonna judge you, doubt you, or dismiss you entirely?But these stories have always mattered to me. This book has always mattered. And at some point, I realized I was done keeping it all tucked away. Here's the thing, though—I didn't just write about Bigfoot. I wrote about me. All of me. My childhood. My parents. My failures. My struggles. And yeah… Dani.I know that part isn't gonna sit well with everyone. I get that. Some folks are gonna have opinions, and that's their right. But for me, leaving any of that out would've been dishonest. I can't ask you to trust me with these experiences and then hide pieces of who I am. I can't tell my story without including the person who stood beside me through the hardest parts of it. That's just not how I live, and it's not how this book was written.Believe me, I thought about sanding down the rough edges. Making it cleaner. Safer. Easier to swallow. Cutting out the parts that might make people uncomfortable. But I couldn't do it. I've spent too much of my life holding back, and I'm done with that.So this is me. This is my story. All of it. Some of what you'll hear happened exactly as I describe it. Some of it is how I imagine things might have gone—if the timing had been different, if I'd pushed harder, if the world worked the way I think it sometimes should.And one last thing before we start—this is Book One. There's more coming. A lot more. This is just the beginning. I hope you enjoy Bigfoot Country... as much as I did writing it. Part One is called The Hollow, and it begins in September of 1984. I was eleven years old, just a few months shy of twelve, and my family had just moved to a place called Lyerly, Georgia. Population next to nothing. No stoplight. One gas station. The kind of town where everybody knew everybody's business before you even finished doing it. We moved into an old house at the end of a dirt road—a house that looked like something had crawled there to die. White paint gone gray. Porch sagging in the middle. Eighty acres of woods stretching out behind it like a wall. My father, Jerry Patterson, was a drinker. A man whose silence usually meant a storm was building. My mother, Jean, was small but fierce in the ways that mattered—even if she couldn't fix the things that were broken in our family. She stayed. She always stayed. The woods became my escape. I spent those early weeks mapping the land, building forts out of fallen branches and rotting tarps, disappearing into the trees whenever the tension at home got too thick. I learned every trail, every landmark, every corner of that property. All except one. There was a section way back at the far edge, where our land butted up against the national forest, that I couldn't bring myself to enter. Every time I got close, something pushed me back. A wrongness I couldn't name. A feeling like walking into a cold spot in a warm room.One day in late October, I decided I'd had enough of being scared. I was almost twelve years old. Too old for this. So I grabbed my BB gun and headed out to prove to myself there was nothing back there worth fearing. I was wrong. What I found was a clearing with a depression in the ground where something big had been bedding down. The smell hit me first—wet dog mixed with a dumpster behind a butcher shop. And then the sounds. Heavy footsteps. Bipedal. Something walking on two legs that weighed more than any man. Huffing. Growling. Sounds that rose and fell in patterns that almost seemed like language. It charged at me through the underbrush, stopped maybe twenty feet away, and just... breathed. Watched. Decided. It let me go.I ran home faster than I'd ever run in my life. And I never told a soul.But that wasn't the only strangeness that followed us to that house. At night, I started hearing voices in the walls—whispery, indistinct, speaking in languages I couldn't understand. A dark figure began appearing at the foot of my bed, a void shaped like a man, watching me while I lay frozen and unable to scream. Scratching moved through the walls like something was circling me. Three heavy knocks shook my bedroom door one night, and when I opened it, no one was there—but downstairs, a fire was burning in a fireplace we never used, in a chimney my father said was blocked.Something was in that house. Something that had been there before us and didn't want us there. And then, in January, everything changed. My mother got sick. Skin Cancer. The doctors gave her six months, maybe a year. And my father—the man who was supposed to hold us together—disappeared. Shacked up with some woman in another town, drowning himself in pills and booze while his wife was dying and his son was alone. I ended up staying with my best friend Brad Henderson's family. They took me in without question, gave me a bed and a place at their table. And every weekend, someone drove me to Atlanta so I could watch my mother fade away in a hospital room. She lost her hair. Lost her weight. Lost everything except her will to fight.Against all odds, she won. Almost a year to the day after her diagnosis, the doctors told us her cancer was in remission. She came home for Christmas, weighing maybe eighty pounds, wrapped in a scarf my friend's mother had knitted for her. And the first thing she did was look at my father's empty chair and say the words I'd been waiting to hear my whole life. We're leaving. But leaving wasn't simple. My father showed up one last time, took my mother's pain medication right out of the medicine cabinet, and vanished. He started selling those pills around town—the same town that had taken up a collection to help us, the same community that had rallied around my dying mother while he was nowhere to be found People got angry. The wrong kind of people. One night in January, I woke up to the sound of voices and vehicles in the yard. I looked out my window and saw twenty figures in white robes standing around a burning cross. The Klan had come to our house. Not because of us—because of him. Because of the shame he'd brought on his family in a place that took such things seriously.We left Lyerly two weeks later. My mother divorced my father, took back her maiden name, and we started over in a tiny apartment in Summerville. Two bedrooms. Thin walls. Stained carpet. But it was ours. And it was safe. I got a job at Dairy Queen. Went to school. Helped my mother however I could. The nightmares followed me—the dark figure, the dreams of something chasing me through endless woods—but I buried it all. Pushed it down. Told myself it didn't matter anymore.But I never forgot what I heard in those woods. Never forgot that huffing, that growling, those footsteps too heavy to be human. I knew it was real. I knew it was out there. And someday, I was going to find it again.But first, I had to grow up. First, I had to survive. That's Part One of Bigfoot Country.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
