ON THE WOODSMEN PODCAST, WE’VE EXPLORED THE SHADOWS THAT LURK WITHIN OUR WORLD—THE PARANORMAL, THE UNEXPLAINED, AND THE UNSETTLING MYSTERIES HIDDEN DEEP IN THE WILDERNESS. WE’VE DISCUSSED ALIENS, BIGFOOT, AND EVEN GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURES THAT HINT AT FORCES BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING. BUT SOME STORIES ARE HARDER TO TALK ABOUT. SOME MYSTERIES ARE NOT JUST LEGENDS OR THEORIES—THEY ARE REAL, AND THEY LEAVE BEHIND GRIEVING F...
HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOVIE AND THOUGHT, “WHO WROTE THIS... AND WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED NEAR A CAMERA?”
OR MAYBE YOU’VE SEEN A PERFORMANCE SO GOOD, YOU QUESTIONED IF THE ACTOR WAS EVEN ACTING AT ALL.
WE OBSESS OVER MOVIES BECAUSE THEY STICK WITH US—THE GOOD ONES, THE BAD ONES, AND THE ONES THAT ARE SO WEIRD YOU CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN THEM WITHOUT SOUNDING A LITTLE UNHINGED.
TONIGHT, WE’RE TALKING ALL THINGS F...

HAVE YOU EVER FELT DRAWN TO A SPECIFIC EVENT OR A TIME WITHIN HISTORY? HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT A 1700S ERA SHIP AND THOUGHT “I STRANGELY RESONATE WITH THAT.” PERHAPS YOU MIGHT HAVE A FASCINATION WITH VIKINGS AND NORWEGIAN HISTORY OF THAT TIME PERIOD? OR MAYBE YOU EVEN HAVE DREAMS ABOUT FIGHTING IN THE FRENCH REVOLUTION?
WELL TONIGHT, WE’RE DIVING INTO THE WILD WORLD OF REINCARNATION—BECAUSE APPARENTLY, DYING ONCE JUST...
A CHILLING THEORY SUGGESTS A LINK BETWEEN THOUSANDS OF UNEXPLAINED DISAPPEARANCES IN U.S. NATIONAL PARKS AND THE VAST, OFTEN UNMAPPED CAVE SYSTEMS HIDDEN BENEATH THEM.
POPULARIZED BY DAVID PAULIDES’ MISSING 411 INVESTIGATIONS, THIS IDEA GAINED TRACTION AS PEOPLE NOTICED EERIE OVERLAPS BETWEEN MAPS OF MISSING PERSONS AND CAVE NETWORKS.

Since the dawn of time, humanity has questioned its own existence—where we come from, why we're here, and how we fit into the vast, ever-expanding universe. Are we the product of chance, or is there something greater at play? Is there a creator shaping our path, or is evolution the sole force behind our existence? More than just a theory of the past, evolution offers a glimpse into the future of our species. But ...
Have you ever hear a story that’s so ridiculous you think to yourself, “There’s no way this actually happened?”
Well, sometimes nature doesn’t kill you with a bear attack, a car accident, or even a vengeful leprechaun : It gets you in the dumbest and even comedic way possible.
Whether it’s people mistaking quicksand for a sandbox, challenging a bear to a wrestling match, or even proving that “hold my beer” might just ...
LEPRECHAUNS… THEY’RE TRICKSTERS, TREASURE KEEPERS, AND, IF LEGENDS ARE TO BE BELIEVED, ABSOLUTE MENACES TO SOCIETY. THEY DON’T JUST HIDE GOLD; THEY SCHEME, DECEIVE, AND SOMETIMES LEAD THE UNLUCKY STRAIGHT INTO THE UNKNOWN. FAR FROM THE FRIENDLY MASCOTS WE SEE TODAY, THESE LITTLE FAIRY FOLK HAVE ROOTS IN DARKER, STRANGER TALES—ONES FILLED WITH VANISHINGS, CURSES, AND IMPOSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS.
ON THIS EPISODE OF THE WOODSME...
ALBERT OSTMAN’S 1924 ENCOUNTER IS ONE OF THE STRANGEST, MOST DEBATED, AND—IF WE’RE BEING HONEST—KIND OF HILARIOUS STORIES IN BIGFOOT LORE. HE WASN’T JUST KIDNAPPED; HE WAS AN UNWILLING HOUSEGUEST, FED STRANGE VEGETATION, AND ULTIMATELY OUTWITTED HIS CAPTORS WITH NOTHING BUT CHEWING TOBACCO. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE HIS STORY OR NOT, IT’S A TALE THAT LEAVES YOU QUESTIONING JUST HOW WEIRD THE WILDERNESS REALLY IS.

AS WINTER HOLDS ITS GRIP ON THE NORTHERN WILDERNESS, SURVIVAL BECOMES A TEST OF ENDURANCE, ADAPTATION, AND SHEER DETERMINATION. IMAGINE BEING LEFT TO FACE THE BRUTAL COLD WITH NOTHING BUT YOUR WITS AND A FEW TOOLS—COULD YOU MAKE IT THROUGH? IN THE BOOK, BRIAN’S WINTER, WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SURVIVAL STRETCHES BEYOND A LUCKY RESCUE—AND INTO THE HARSH REALITY OF THE WILDERNESS IN ITS MOST UNFORGIVING FORM. THIS WEEK,...
Comedy has always been a reflection of the times—a mirror held up to society, distorted just enough to make us laugh. But in 2025, that mirror feels like it’s cracking. What was once unquestionably funny now sparks debate, and the line between joke and offense has never been thinner.
Have we lost our sense of humor, or are we just learning where to draw the line? Are we witnessing the evolution of comedy, or its slow d...
IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE AND REVISIT ONE OF OUR OLDEST TOPICS. IN EPISODE 2, WE DISCUSSED PROBLEMATIC TEACHERS, ABSURD CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS, AND THE HYPOCRISY WE ENCOUNTERED IN OUR SCHOOL EXPERIENCES.
CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE OF OUR SOCIETY, PLAYING A CRUCIAL ROLE IN SHAPING THE WORLD THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING IN. SCHOOL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SPACE FOR YOUNG MINDS TO GROW, BUT SOMETHING HAS CHA...
The boys take a well needed break from the stresses of work and life in general to discuss some of the most outlandish and dangerous animals known to humans! Keep your bug spray at arms length because some of these animals pack a punch!

IN TIMES OF GREAT NEED, WE OFTEN FIND OURSELVES SEEKING HELP IN WAYS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND. AS PATTERN-SEEKING INDIVIDUALS, WE LOOK FOR ANSWERS FROM A HIGHER BEING, THE STARS, OUR ANCESTORS, OR EVEN THROUGH MEDIUMS AND FRINGE TOPICS. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE FEEL CORNERED, ON THE VERGE OF DEATH, AND BEGIN RECEIVING ANSWERS FROM A PRESENCE WE HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD BEFORE?

As we head into the new year, we often set goals for improving our lifestyles compared to the previous year. Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned. in Southern California, particularly in Los Angeles, a devastating fire has ravaged not only historical sites cherished by the community but also the homes of hundreds, if not thousands, of people and animals. This situation hits close to home for us here at The...
WE STARTED FILMING THE WOODSMEN PODCAST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2023. BUT OUR OFFICIAL START TO OUR PODCASTING JOURNEY BEGAN LAST YEAR WHEN WE FILMED OUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.
WE TOLD THE STORY OF ST. SHAQ AND DISCUSSED MANY ORIGINS OF THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY SINCE THEN. MANY UPS AND DOWNS. BUT IT FEELS AMAZING COMING FULL CIRCLE AND FILMING THIS YEAR'S WOODSMAS SPECIAL.

It’s happening, chat. She's beginning to thaw out again—the Christmas queen herself! Lock your doors, block your windows, and hide your children. Mariah Carey’s " All I Want for Christmas is You!” has returned to abolish our eardrums once again… In all seriousness though, Christmas time only comes around once a year. And every December, one of the treats we as a society get to look forward to is all of the ...
Last year during the holiday season we dove into some of the most popular origins of what we know today as Christmas. During that episode, we talked lightly of the holiday devil himself… Krampus. This year we are diving even further into the rabbit hole of this strange creature. Where did he come from? What is his relation to Christmas as a whole? And does he really beat children with sticks? There’s only one way to k...
It's officially that time of year, and we here at the Woodsmen couldn't be more excited! This season is all about spending quality time with friends and family, and sharing cheerful conversations. If you're like us, you probably have your own Christmas traditions that you celebrate throughout the season. One of the most popular holiday traditions is to relax and enjoy some of the many classic Christmas ...
The holidays are here and we are so thankful for you, Chat! We started this project thinking it would be a fun, easy thing to do in our spare time, but with that being said, we had so many set backs: from stolen gear, to lost episodes, studio changes, to life legitimately picking us up and slamming us through the folding table your mom’s gonna set up for guests this Thanksgiving. We never thought that we would make it...
