Welcome to season 7, episode 4 of the I Want to Believe podcast!


Robert Michael Pyle, the bearded lepidopterist who stole our hearts with his seminal work, Where Bigfoot Walks, is a man of many talents and pursuits. He is, of course, an author… but also a naturalist, a professor, a poet, he has been a husband, and now a widower.  


In 2020, he was lovingly portrayed by actor David Cross in the movie The Dark Divide. With special co-host Christina, we’ll be discussing the life and adventures of one of cryptozoology’s most unexpected proponents.
