The Internet Explorer's Podcast
The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear.

Why Bigfoot Loves Camping Gear
In this episode, Jimmy welcomes back John Fike, a podcaster and YouTuber who’s spent years immersed in the Bigfoot community, interviewing people who claim to have had encounters. But this isn’t a debate about whether Bigfoot exists—John already believes he does. Instead, we’re diving into something even bigger: the culture of Bigfoot belief.
Why do people believe? Why do some fake sightings? And how do you separate genuinely compelling encounters from outright hoaxes? More importantly, what is it about Bigfoot that keeps people hooked generation after generation—from true believers to casual fans who just love slapping Sasquatch on t-shirts and coffee mugs?
Along the way, Jimmy and John break down how Bigfoot became a massive industry, why the legend is so tied to camping, and the bizarre double standard of belief—where people can spend their weekends storm chasing, ghost hunting, or buying haunted dolls with zero judgment, but claim to see Bigfoot once and get socially exiled.
So, whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just here for the laughs, buckle up—this episode is packed with wild stories, deep cultural analysis, and enough Bigfoot talk to make you question every shadow in the woods.
