Yeti

14

Tales of a bipedal ape-like creature persist in the myth and legend of the Himalayas. But does the yeti really exist? Two enthusiasts are determined to find out. Andrew Benfield and Richard Horsey travel through India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan in search of stories of yeti sightings and encounters. Over 10 episodes, they hear from villagers, yak herders, sherpas and mountaineers, who give surprisingly consistent descriptions of a mysterious, large, hairy creature. This series takes us on a journey deep into Himalayan culture as the presenters grapple with their own inner demons to try to make sense of the yeti myth.

    Stunningly great!
    I stumbled on this brilliant and unusual podcast and binged it during the Thanksgiving preparations. It’s SO WELL DONE. This podcast does everything right: beautifully produced, intelligently narrated, fascinating subject, tastefully presented. Absolutely one of the best, yet seems like very few know about it! Well, you should! 10 stars.

    Good storytelling of an interesting topic. The soundscapes are very immersive. I couldn’t stop listening! I would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure to get lost in. I appreciated Andy and Richard’s consideration of local socio-cultural perspectives.
