Monsters and Ecstatic Truth

Share This Post

We discuss the striking similarities between the mockumentary “Incident at Loch Ness” and the real documentary “Creature From Big Muddy: An Illinois Bigfoot Legend”.

Joined by guest Dustin Blakeman, who also composed a special intro for this episode.

“Human Clicktrack” – Dustin Blakeman: I think it’s only fitting for an episode about monsters and ecstatic truth to peel back the layers of artifice that permeate our era of digital perfection and overproduction. Here is a both “natural” yet, still specifically produced opening… fitting with this episode’s subject matter.
