MonsterTalk Blake Smith

Here’s a show even an eldritch entity from beyond spacetime can enjoy! Blake and Karen chat, usually with interesting guests, about things that go bump in the night, and weird things that don’t as well, with open-minded straight-talk about all manner of bizarre critters as folklore, myth, urban legend, the occasional hoax, and many other hypotheses as well, all from a scientific perspective that strives for fairness, objectivity, and accuracy. This is, after all, the science show about monsters!

I give the show five stars and four tentacular thumb-analog extremities up!

It can be hard to explain to people that loving paranormal subjects does not mean I believe in it. Monster Talk gets it. Thoughtful and fun deep dives into aliens, Bigfoot, cryptids, and much more. Thank you Blake and Karen for making my favorite show!

I love the topics, agree with most of the things they say, but they have said multiple things about religious people that are very close minded. I believe in global warming, support science and research, know how to read scientific papers and decipher statistical graphs, and I am a very active Christian. I don’t think religious people need to be more skeptical and logical, I think everyone needs to be. The fact they have called out religious people multiple times and lumped us all in one has been very frustrating to me, as I feel like I don’t belong in that category and don’t feel like being religious is the problem. We can believe different theologies, and still agree on well researched science.
Keep up the good work, love the information, maybe tone down the discrimination towards those who practice Christianity.
