Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster: The hunt for wonder

What if the real mystery isn’t Bigfoot or Nessie, but the people who devote their lives to searching for them? 

Chion talks with Mike Wanders, who spent a year traveling through legendary Bigfoot country, and Steve Feltham, who has spent decades on the shore of Loch Ness. 

What keeps a person returning, again and again, to a mystery that refuses to resolve itself? And what if not knowing can be its own kind of joy? 

Suggested episodes:

• Meet a man who is committed to having coffee at every corporate-owned Starbucks on the planet

GUESTS: 

• Mike Wanders: Bigfoot researcher, adventurer, and documentarian. He traveled to alleged Bigfoot hotspots across North America for a year and documented the journey
• Steve Feltham: Known as the “Nessie Hunter,” he moved to the shores of Loch Ness in 1991 and holds the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous vigil seeking the Loch Ness Monster
