  • S12 Ep.4: Sierra Mountains
    Jul 27 2025

    Hello dear listeners and welcome back for more of the odd content you crave! This week, I bring you something I've never tackled before: Bigfoot. In the early 1970s, in a remote deer-hunting camp deep in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, Ron Morehead and Al Berry captured a series of bizarre vocalizations that became known as the Sierra Sounds. And these sounds are like nothing you've heard before...or maybe you have?
