Cryptid Zone

Love the randomness and humor. Pretty bad for actual cryptozoology research, but it has the crazy, outlandish, and absurd “theories” and commentary that I love. To all those who gave poor ratings, learn to laugh and that this show obviously is not supposed to be a rigorous project on proving cryptids and providing facts.

This podcast has no interviews with anyone so it gets one star.

I mean,, if ur actually looking for information on these things this wouldn't be the best,,,, source?? But its fun. The people complaining are just boomers and nice guys lol

This podcast doesn't always get right to the point and discussions are often humorous, but if you like that kind of thing as much as I do then it's a bonus. The tone is casual and usually upbeat, so it's a good listen for a rainy day. The cryptids are a nice mix of "classics" like the Jersey Devil and less well-know or easily defined beings like La Diablesse (who is more of a singular supernatural being than some unknown species) and the Axehandle Hound (pretty much exactly what it sounds like). It's great that the hosts put some thought into the source of the cryptids and how some of them get interpreted/misinterpreted if not from an English-speaking culture. The recent episode on the Phaya Naga was really interesting for that aspect, and I appreciate when hosts are willing to admit that there are biases and translation barriers that can affect how a story about a creature is presented.
