Who's Responsible?

On the most recent program of "The Sasquatch Triangle" hosted by Don Keating and produced by Henry May under the SasquatchMedia banner I was confused to hear something repeated that was not corrected and should have been. How did the show "Let's Talk Bigfoot" hosted by Teresa Hall and myself get started? Well, it's really not a mystery and did not involve Henry May, however, Don Keating gave Henry the credit for producing our show on the "Sasquatch Triangle." This is not Don Keating's fault. Henry should have made that correction promptly, and he did not.

This show became a reality when I had a conversation with Sean Forker, the host of "Sasquatch Experience." I told Sean that Kathy Strain and her husband, Bob, were interested in producing a show, to be hosted by myself and Teresa Hall. As a result, Sean was gracious enough to give up one hour of the time allotted to him by Blogtalk once a week on Wednesday nights to see that our show had a good spot in primetime programming. It was understood at that time that the show would be produced by Kathy and Bob Strain, and we agreed to become part of the "SasquatchMedia" family. Our show was in this time slot on Blogtalk radio for roughly 2-3 weeks, when we decided to move it to Talkshoe, due to many listener complaints about poor audio on Blogtalk and because we wanted more control in the inner workings of the show.

Teresa and myself feel it's very important, to give credit where credit is due and that the proper people receive credit for their hard work in bringing our show to life. That credit goes to Kathy and Bob Strain as our sole producers, and of course Sean Forker for allowing us to debut in a primetime slot. Henry May did assist in the first three shows by controlling the Blogtalk switchboard, monitoring a chatroom for questions, and letting us know when we had a caller on the line. Henry should never have indicated he was the executive producer or assistant producer and should have cleared up the misconception when it occurred on a show he does produce. We do thank him for the technical assistance he gave us while we were affiliated with Blogtalk but he has never produced our show.

If you think I am upset by this, you are correct. I would like to take this time to thank Sean for his help, and hard work premiering our show on BlogTalk Radio and allowing us to use a primetime slot. Teresa and I are thankful to him for his generous offer. However, we felt we should clear the air and explain that Bob and Kathy Strain have always been, and will continue to be the producers of the Let's Talk Bigfoot show and we are proud to have them working hard to bring the best guests to the show for you, our listeners. We are also proud to be endorsed and supported by the Alliance of Independent Bigfoot Researchers.

As long as we are clearing the air, we'd also like to thank Matt Knapp for the great intros and closers he has provided for the shows and the great sound work he continues to do for us. We have a great team!

I talked to a Paiute elder and he told me something interesting. There is supposed to be a family living in Schurz, Nevada today who originally came from the Bridgeport, Mono Lake area, which is by Hetch Hetchy and eastern Yosemite. In early times one of the the girls in the family was supposed to have been abducted and impregnated by a big foot. She escaped after he fell a sleep and ran home. She had a child and those children are red headed and big. They are supposed to be descendants of a Big Foot and a Paiute girl. That the gene jumps in the family and today some of the kids are big, have red hair and hairy.
