ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Bigfoot, a long-standing figure of folklore and cryptozoology, is declared symbolically "dead" in Ben Radford's Skeptical Inquirer cover story, which traces Bigfoot's rise in popular culture and the decline of true belief in its existence. With decades of skeptical analysis revealing hoaxes and diminishing public credulity, the article concludes that Bigfoot's cultural relevance now resides more in humor and history than in genuine mystery.
