Cliff and Bobo retell that story in full during this Q&A episode, but it’s just one of several threads they pull on: the anatomy of Sasquatch hands, how they maintain their muscle mass, the controversy around Paul Freeman’s hair samples, and recommendations for field recording gear.

The Mechanics of a Sasquatch Build

A listener from Australia asked how Sasquatches maintain their "muscle on muscle" physique without a gym or protein shakes. Bobo’s answer was straightforward: "They're predisposed." He argued that living in the woods is itself a workout. "I was in the woods yesterday for most of the day," he said.
