Episode 2 — Bigfoot and the Orang Pendek

In this, the difficult second episode, Henry investigates one of the most enduring cryptid legends: Bigfoot, the hulking, hairy figure said to roam North America’s forests! (Plus, another one, the Orang Pendek, a small, ape-like creature reported in the jungles of Sumatra.)

Drawing on eyewitness accounts, cultural traditions, and scientific inquiry, Henry examines the evidence behind these mysterious beings. And, naturally, the Dutch come in for some abuse again. What is it with those guys?

Are Bigfoots (apparently, that’s the plural) and Orang Pendeks relics of an ancient past, misidentified wildlife, or simply products of human imagination?

This episode delves into the compelling stories and theories, offering a thoughtful exploration of what these legends mean and why they persist – and, coming up with nothing.

A must-listen for anyone intrigued by the unknown – who doesn’t want answers. Though, apparently, Bigfoot is nicknamed ‘Jacko’ – and he stinks.
