Crackpots and Eggheads
Listen to a public lecture by Dr Brian Regal
In the first in our series of ECCENTRICITY lectures, Dr Brian Regal talked about the search for ‘monsters’ – in particular the hunt for Sasquatch or ‘Bigfoot’ as it’s more commonly known, and the “crackpot” natural historians who were obsessed with the search. This interesting lecture is now available as a podcast (below).
