Is Bigfoot real — or something far stranger?
In this thrilling episode, Isaac sits down with author Ty Alexander to dive deep into the mysterious world of cryptids, sparked by Ty’s gripping new novel Monstrous, which follows an escaped Yeti terrorizing Red Oak National Park. From Bigfoot and the Mothman to the Yeti itself, they explore chilling sightings, folklore roots, and mind-bending theories — including interdimensional travel and DNA evidence that might rewrite what we think we know. The conversation doesn’t stop at cryptids; they also venture into UFO encounters, alien connections, and Ty’s upcoming series that blends thrilling fiction with the world’s strangest legends. Plus: can’t-miss recommendations for the best Bigfoot-inspired media.

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.
