In a recent episode of the Beyond the Footprints podcast, hosts Stuart and Brandon had the pleasure of interviewing Brian King-Sharp, the man behind the Sasquatch Odyssey podcast. Brian is known for sharing real encounters with Sasquatch by real people, and this episode was no exception. The conversation started off with Brian discussing a particularly intriguing encounter he had recently featured on his show. The guest, who had seen Sasquatches while on a train as a child, eventually shared a story about a female Sasquatch visiting his tent during an Outward Bound trip. Brian admitted that he was initially hesitant to air the episode due to its unusual nature, but ultimately decided to do so because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback from his listeners. Brian's approach to his podcast is to not get into the details of an encounter beforehand, as he wants a "cold read" when the guest shares their story. He believes that this allows him to make up his mind about the story in real time, without any preconceived notions. The conversation then turned to the importance of taking all encounter stories seriously, regardless of how believable they may seem. Brian emphasized that if someone believes that their encounter happened, then it is his job to believe that they believe it happened. Brian also discussed the history of his own podcast, Sasquatch Odyssey, which he started in order to document as many cases as possible of people having encounters with Sasquatch in the southeastern United States. He was inspired by his own experiences growing up in Georgia, where he heard many stories about encounters with "hairy men" or "wild men." Overall, the episode was a fascinating discussion about the importance of taking all encounter stories seriously and the unique approach that Brian takes with his podcast.
