OTT #331: Jon meets Bruce Champagne (Part One)
https://youtu.be/lZVW6IPYbGI
 
Good afternoon, my dears. Once again it is Saturday afternoon and with our normal display of hubris, not to say big headedness, we can say that despite all the other stuff going on in the world this can only mean one thing: at 3 o’clock UK time we have another episode of On the Track.
 
This is one of those interviews this has been on the back burner for nearly a year. I first approached Bruce last spring, and various reasons we couldn’t find a time that we were both free to do an interview. However, we’ve now done it, and the first of two parts can be seen this week. We talk about sea monsters, we talk about mistaken identity, and we talk about Bigfoot type creatures seen in desert regions. What’s not to like?

Please copy this and pass it on as widely as possible.
 
You can watch this episode in perpetuity on the link below, but it would make a very silly old man (me), and his badly behaved little dog (Archie) exceedingly happy, and would also please the YouTube algorithm, if you joined me for the premiere and the live chat, and both liked and commented on the show this week.
