Texas Cryptozoologist Lyle Blackburn in Search for BIGFOOT

Episodes
Written By

What is cryptozoology? We break it down in this episode with the cryptozoologist and musician Lyle Blackburn.

Lyle basically studies the phenomenon of unconfirmed monsters - think Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, and he even told me about a dinosaur that lives in Congo. I don’t know, my mind is open! There’s been a ton of Bigfoot sightings in Texas, and it’s cool to talk to someone who knows about this stuff.  

He takes it all very seriously, it’s all pretty fascinating, and I really enjoyed Lyle’s professionalism and expertise in this.
