About the Podcast

There Is Always Bigfoot is a long-form video podcast where culture, politics, and the unexplained collide. Hosted by award-winning filmmakers Dave Pederson and Jillian Hurley, each episode invites thinkers, artists, and troublemakers to dissect the myths—both literal and societal—that shape our world.

This isn’t just another politics podcast. It’s where progressivism meets the paranormal, where serious debates sit beside the absurd, and where Bigfoot is less a cryptid and more a metaphor for the hidden forces in our lives.

The Big Idea

Myth-busting meets social commentary

Why do we believe what we believe? We examine the stories that shape our society.

Long-form, uncensored discussions

No soundbites, no spin, just real talk with fascinating guests.

A mix of highbrow and absurd

One episode tackles universal healthcare, the next asks: Was Bigfoot a socialist?

Progressive, but not preachy

We ask hard questions, even of our own side.
