Three best buddies - Rhys Darby, Dan Schreiber, and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck bring you The Cryptid Factor - a podcast dedicated to all things weird that are yet ...
Well well well, let’s all give a warm virtual welcome to TCF's newest host! He’s so switched on, it’s almost like he’s made for it.Although, we have enough host action going on to keep us entertained with just our regular three: We have a time travelling child host coming back to cosplay as other hosts, a normal travelling host on a mission to coat tail another host, and a celebrity host and a not-so celebrity host meeting celebrity non-hosts, giving celeb-envy to another host…host hosty hosts! In this flotilla of information you will sail past the first Loch Ness Monster sighting of 2025, adorable wooly mice created by a whole company of genetically engineered employees, national cheesy naan crazes, and World-Record breaking vegetables making some oddly familiar noises.

#104 The Gardening Angel Issue
In this flourishing issue, take a gander into the Great Glasshouse, wear a sash in the Seat-less Storeroom and dive deep into a Devalued Diary! At long last, Buttons reveals the tease of his personal proof of the afterlife and Darbs may actually be one of many Darbs. We have kayakers being swallowed by whales, celebrities and side kicks being harassed by ghost children in haunted ships, and Bigfoot hunts with ex-girlfriends causing dramas in divorce courts.Turns out the FBI might be tapping into your phone line from the comfort of your mothers bedroom, and for the first time ever, we have animals doing perfectly normal things in places they should be...you don’t want to miss this one!

#103 The Or-Fish Issue
Many say Oarfish are an omen for disaster about to strike - Well consider yourself warned! In this chaotic episode we have Dan battling with psychic abilities, crocodiles mimicking drowning humans, overwhelming feelings of being a mermaid and AI (quite rudely) requesting all humans to die...promptly followed by AI romance! A fresh new book idea is brewing which is fitting as it turns out we are in the midst of the World Smartest Man AND the Stephen Fry of New Zealand and to top it all off, who doesn't love a good cliff hanger?

We're Back!! Which in essence means the 'Buttons in the titles curse' is broken! (as long as you can actually hear this, that is). In this Xmas issue you'll find Hillary's backpack going on a lazy code expedition, ocean song curses continue, Bears do insurance fraud, a yellow brick road found at the bottom of the sea, spooky digital cryptids,Thai chickens eaten by baby-eating Krasue's, Darby discloses the Drone/UFO situation - and some other wonderful tit-bits! All this, as well as a very special guest - Steve Wriggly! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Three best buddies - Rhys Darby, Dan Schreiber, and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck bring you The Cryptid Factor - a podcast dedicated to all things weird that are yet to be defined by science.Since 2008 they have passionately (and often awkwardly) been discussing 'cryptids' and monsters like Yeti, Chupacabra, Bigfoot and Nessie - as well as weird news of the world, UFO's, Time travellers, robots and space stuff.Though they take these pseudosciences as seriously as they can, they struggle to take themselves seriously at all.Hosted by comedian and actor Rhys Darby, star of top rating podcast 'No Such Thing as a Fish' Dan Schreiber - and Pulling it all together is their best friend, 'Buttons'. If anything goes wrong, it is probably his fault. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
