| 25 Jul 2024 | Brett Eichenberger: Documenting Bigfoot | 01:38:28 | |
Howdy there, friends. This week my guest is Brett Eichenberger. Brett is a wildly talented filmmaker, and has made, in my opinion, the two greatest documentaries about the bigfoot phenomenon of all time. We talk about his Flash of Beauty films, both of which are amazing. The second installment focuses on the paranormal aspects associated with bigfoot, which is of particular interest to me, since I love the weird stuff. Brett and his team have a refreshingly open approach to documenting the subject, which is long overdue in my opinion. Brett also shares some amazing stories and incites from the many witnesses he's talked to, and we of course get into some big time high strangeness associated with our good buddy Bigfoot. I cannot recommend checking out his films enough! Have a wonderful and delicious weekend, good buddies! Steve Berg LInks: | |||

Howdy friends! This week I'm thrilled to have on a fellow Midwest researcher, Michael Huntington! Michael is a long-time researcher and UFO culture curator from the great state of Missouri. Michael is my kind of researcher too: not bogged down by mainstream UFOlogy, and all the uninteresting drama that comes with it. Instead, Michael advocates for UFO reform, not for attention, but because he cares deeply about the study. Bravo I say! Michael is also well versed and cares deeply for all sorts of weirdness: bigfoot, haunted locations, folklore and other topics that fall into the strange and unusual.

We discuss his experience working on the show, and then we do a deepish dive on one of my favorite topics, weird Wisconsin. We talk about Wisco's (am I allowed to call it that?) storied UFO history, bigfoot, dogman, hauntings and a ton of other weirdness permeating his wonderful home state. I really had a blast chatting with Tobias, and I hope you all enjoy it too! Steve Berg LInks: | |||

Joseph has created works using alternate reality gaming and transmedia storytelling methods to deliver a new kind of narrative. He's also extremely well versed in high weirdness, the occult, underground art, and so much more. He's truly my kind of artist: A risk taker, esoterically minded, and not afraid to destroy classic narrative structure. I tried to play it cool, because I'm a big fan, but I'm sure you'll hear a couple of geek out moments. Jospeh is one of those Gen X artists who changed the game..literally. Enjoy!

Hi buds -on this week's episode, I have on documentary filmmaker, Matthew Tannam-Elgie! Matthew popped up on my radar when I heard about his upcoming documentary, MOTHMAN: THE FILM THAT NEVER WAS, about Hollywood film production's attempt to make a feature film (not the Richard Gere version!) out of the Fortean classic, The Mothman Prophecies. The crew shot on-location, in Point Pleasant, WV in the 1990's, and what happened next is bonkers! Without spoiling too much of the upcoming film, Matthew gives us a rundown of what happened, and what we can expect in this exciting new documentary.

Yoooooooo friends! This week, I have on the brilliant, Amanda Paulson! Amanda is a paranormal investigator/content creator who is 10000% the real deal. Amanda is out there experimenting, investigating, researching, and poking the paranormal bear. She's likely the most courageous person I've ever talked to in these Fortean fields. I mean it. So...we obviously get into her experimentations, investigations, and all that good stuff, but we also cover her wildly unique theory entitled the Paranormal Emotive Touchpoint (PET). I found this to be a wonderfully refreshing take on approaching high strangeness, and she was kind enough to share with me her point of view on how to commune with the other. I loved it! Please, do yourself a favor, read up on her theory, and watch her Tiktok for some great videos on her work. I became an instant fan. We also delve into her upcoming documentary - I was lucky enough to peep a screener, and it is fantastic! Enjoy, friends. Steve Berg LInks: | |||

Hello, how is everyone doing? Great to hear! This week, I am joined by researcher, writer and filmmaker, Dean Bertram. Dean is currently in production on an incredible documentary (I've seen some segments and they are fantastic!) about the life of Richard Shaver. Shaver, while sometimes forgotten in the sea of UFO experiencers of the Twentieth Century, had one of the most unique narratives going. While folks were looking up, Shaver was looking down. Dean was kind enough to share his knowledge about Shaver's life and times, but also, we delve deep into the Maury Island incident, Ray Palmer, his own high strange experience, and more. This was a real treat for me. Dean has a great head on his shoulders, and has wonderful knack of fusing art and Forteanna that I love so much. Steve Berg LInks: | |||
