Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster: The hunt for wonder
About this episode
The episode explores the motivations of those who search for mythical creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.
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?
