For this special episode of Necronomicast, I am featuring a conversation recorded live at a recent cryptozoological/paranormal convention in the Midwest. Joining me is first time author, but longtime researcher, Randall F. Travers. He has made it his life's work to uncover some of the most controversial yet captivating evidence ever in the study of cryptozoology...the reproductive habits, rituals, and proclivities of the creature known as Sasquatch!  His book features startling eyewitness accounts of true encounters with the legendary creatures. So join me and my colorful guest, Randall F Travers, as we discuss his brand new book, "The Sensual Sasquatch: The Science Behind One of Earth's Greatest Mysteries."

Tonight’s conversation is a fun one!   Ever since their debut, the Blumberg family (Heather, Arryn, Rafferty, and Noa) have captured the hearts and the wonder of all who watched their hit TV show “We Bought a Funeral Home.” Watching them transform the mysterious and cavernous Canadian funeral home into a unique and breathtaking masterpiece with a flair and uncommon touch, has catapulted them to stardom and has established this charming family as the first family of the supernatural! "We Bought A Funeral Home" is streaming now on Discovery+!    

When journalist Danny Casolaro was found dead in a hotel bathtub, police ruled it a suicide. But his family and colleagues believe he may have been murdered for investigating a conspiracy he called “The Octopus” - a hidden organization connected to stolen government spy software, a string of unsolved murders, and some of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century. Tonight on Necronomicast for an exclusive conversation, I welcome researcher Christian Hansen and director Zachary Treitz, whose incredible four part Netflix docuseries untangles a mystery decades in the making.
