On February 18, 2006, I wrote a Cryptomundo blog entitled, “Are Malaysian Bigfoot Colonies Really Orangutans?”.

At least that’s what National Geographic News would have you believe…  Posted Friday, on National Geographic News, is an interview I did with them regarding our research here in Texas, as well as the Bigfoot in Texas? exhibit and lecture series.

I had an excellent time on The Coast to Coast AM radio program (gulp, from 2 am to 5 am my time!) last night.
