Andy McGrath – Bio

 

Andy McGrath is a renowned paranormal researcher, folklorist, author, speaker, and television presenter with over 25 years of experience exploring cryptozoology and folklore. He’s also a seasoned screenwriter and filmmaker.

 

He first gained public attention with his book Beasts of Britain, a work that led to guest appearances on numerous podcasts and documentaries. This ultimately opened the door to television opportunities.

 

McGrath is best known today as the host of Weird Britain, a TV series launched in 2024 that delves into the UK’s most eccentric and unexplained stories—ranging from cryptic legends and mythical creatures to unsettling supernatural occurrences, bizarre customs, and odd historical tidbits . The show features McGrath traveling across the country, often in collaboration with experts, and using modern technology to investigate these uncanny tales.

Why People Love Him . . . .

• Approachable Skepticism: McGrath always treats folklore and witnesses’ claims with respect, aiming to understand their roots without dismissing them outright.

• Engaging and Immersive Storytelling: From chasing the Loch Ness Monster to investigating haunted forests and mythic traditions, he brings a curious and warm narrative style that feels inclusive and sincere.

• Thoughtful and Authentic: McGrath’s approach contrasts with sensationalist portrayals—he focuses on the wonder and human connection behind strange stories, rather than mocking or alienating them.

 

In summary, Andy McGrath stands out as a thoughtful guide through Britain’s strangest corners—one who blends scholarly knowledge with genuine wonder and approachability. Whether you’re drawn to cryptids, folk traditions, unexplained hauntings, or quirky local events, his work provides a compelling mix of folklore insight and heartfelt curiosity.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
