Description

The Bigfoot Manifesto is a sharp, satirical podcast where progressive politics collides with cryptid culture and biting humor. Host Dave Pederson (Oscar-nominated producer of Super Size Me and Americonned) dives into the strange overlap of myths, media, and manipulation—from billionaire fairy tales and QAnon fever dreams to the legends we tell ourselves to survive late capitalism. Equal parts investigative journalism and campfire storytelling, each episode blends fact, folklore, and firebrand commentary to expose the absurdities of our modern world. Why do people believe in Bigfoot, trickle-down economics, or a "self-made" billionaire? Maybe it's all the same myth. So grab your flashlight, your sense of humor, and maybe a union card. Because believing in Bigfoot is still more logical than believing billionaires will save us.
