Episode Summary:
In Part 2 of our compelling interview with Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, we go deeper into the world of Bigfoot research—dissecting the controversies, modern encounters, and the future of the field.
This episode explores:
•The most compelling modern sightings and encounters
•The role of hoaxes—how they’ve hurt and strangely helped the field
•Why Dr. Meldrum believes the Patterson-Gimlin film still holds scientific merit
•How drone technology, environmental DNA (eDNA), and emerging tools could revolutionize the search
•What it would take for mainstream science to finally take Sasquatch seriously
This conversation brings science and mystery face-to-face—and asks the question: what if we’ve been overlooking something right in front of us?
Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum is one of the foremost academic researchers in the field of Bigfoot studies, with over 300 footprint casts and years of experience in primate locomotion and human evolution. In this second half of our discussion, Dr. Meldrum shares what keeps him motivated despite ridicule and resistance from the academic world.
