Whatever name you know him by, he is ubiquitous in the greater Seattle area, spotted everywhere from bumper stickers to roadside landmarks. In an otherwise skeptical city replete with \u201cscience is real\u201d lawn signs, it seems that many of us believe\u2014 or at least want to believe\u2014 in Bigfoot. As part of the Beasts of Seattle podcast series, Town Hall\u2019s Podcast Artist-in-Residence Samantha Allen interviews Finding Bigfoot co-host Ranae Holland, local journalist Knute Berger, and Bigfoot researcher Mel Skahan about why the ape-like hominid continues to captivate us today. Samantha Allen is the author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle and the Lambda Literary Award finalist, Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States. A GLAAD Award-winning journalist, Samantha\u2019s writing has been published by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, CNN, and more. The music for this podcast was written and performed by John Gould. You can find more of John\u2019s music at johngould.bandcamp.com. The art for this podcast was made by Sadie Collins.  Finding Bigfoot is streaming on Discovery+.
