Well, early reports are that last night’s Squatchdetective Radio show was apparently a classic, alright. An absolute classic mess. Here’s a couple quick reactions posted today, followed up with emails, and reproduced here with the permission of the comment makers.
I know all the gentlemen involved including Erik Beckjord. Steve Kulls was the host, Sean Forker and Henry May were the callers. The other callers I did not get their names.
It was ugly. Curse words were used and Erik Beckjord hung up. There was little sense made and they kept talking over one another. There was little organization to the show. A basic free for all.
I mean no disprespect to any of the parties involved. However, it was unfortunate to hear these gentleman not be able to hold a debate about the subjects without talking over one another and then the show getting out of control as it did. In my opinion the cheap shots and name calling were not necessary. In Sean’s defense, he did apologize for the use of the language and apologized to Mr. Beckjord publically on the program for his actions. Erik did not call back into the show. The person who was hurt most by all of this was host Steve Kulls, as this was his program and what occured may have left a bad taste in many researchers and enthusiasts mouths.
I agree with William; no winners there.Eric Altman, Pennsylvania Bigfoot researcher

Allow me be plain & clear. I at no time…did I use profanity, or made a sexual innuendo on that show. I tried to be clear and distinct to keep it in the realm of Bigfoot. And had my hands full keeping order.
The main guest for the night was out of control from minute one, and I don’t particularly know what he has against the other guest, but he got personal.
I spent most of the night…working with a full switchboard muting one from the other. Then at one point the switchboard crashed..and I lost total control of people talking. Thats when all the “fun” started with the name calling.
My only regret is I just didn’t mute everyone and continue on with the disertation. EB cannot be reasoned with at all. EB apparently has been harassing the Sasquatch Experience hosted on Wednesday nights for about a month. I believe this led to the short fuse of Mr. Forker.
Unfortunately, unlike when I sparred him in December, I did not lose my cool to his insults, unfortunately my guests last night did. For that I sincerely apologize.
Depsite all the chicanery I made clear two very clear points that do have SOME bigfooting relationship,
1. The recent study of apes (chimpanzees in particular) being aware and covering there prints, and leaving markers for their family group.
2. If the infrasound theory is correct, it is possible, that is why some people “feel” they have received a subliminal message from a creature to leave or capture is impossible, it is how their brain may be interpreting the disorientation associated with infrasound. That is not my theory, it was one mentioned by Stan Courtney a week previous on the show, and I personally think it was prolific. And even Erik conceded the point.
Unfortunately, things got out of control and thats what people remember.
Most of who listens are the Bigfoot community and the shows ratings are based on downloads and live listeners. Most are downloads.
The segment effective immediately has been deleted for download because it is a show I am not proud of. I was hoping for some point-counterpoint discussion. The problem with EB is he goes on with information for a bit then jabs with a personal attack.
I’ve had 24 hours worth of good Bigfoot Radio…with about 45 minutes of “key-rap” . So I guest that’s not too too bad. Bottom line is this will not happen again.
I might add that I have no previous broadcast hosting, production experience..so this is all trial by fire, and living and learning.
We had a Special Edition broadcast on 3/20/07 at 9:30 PM – 10:00 PM which should explain what went wrong, public apologies and what we go through as a talk show host sometimes.
In the past we’ve had guests such as John Green, Bill Brann, John Freitas, Kathy Strain-Moskowitz, Stan Courtney, MK Davis, as well as several well documented witnesses.
We’ve been arranging more shows with more conventional and compelling guests in the future, including Ron Morehead, Eric Altman, and a NESRA Expedition Report, and have in the future line up, Matt Knapp of Oklahoma Sasquatch and Dr. John Bindernagel.
We are also working on a contingency plan should something like this ever happen again.
I apologize once again…and hope the future shows serve the community alot better than this represented. Definitely, not the show I wanted to do last night.-Steve Kulls
