In this episode of Naturally Off Topic, we take a deep dive into the world of Bigfoot—the elusive giant of legend. From its origins as a cryptid to modern sightings, we explore why this mysterious creature continues to captivate imaginations worldwide. 👣

But the story doesn’t stop there. We also examine the curious case of Andrew Dawson, whose viral videos of a supposed “giant” on a mountaintop stirred up controversy and conspiracy theories. Was it real, a hoax, or something more sinister? Dawson’s sudden death—shrouded in mystery—only added to the speculation. Using research, internet investigations, and community theories, we untangle the facts from the fiction.

Key questions we explore:

  • Is Bigfoot real or a product of clever hoaxes and folklore?
  • Was Andrew Dawson’s “giant” just a communications tower or something else?
  • Why did the circumstances surrounding Dawson’s death spark so many theories?

Join us as we discuss the evidence, the hoaxes, and why the Bigfoot legend endures. This episode is a wild ride through the world of cryptids and internet mysteries!

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.
