   Adrian Shine: A Natural History of Sea Serpents | ST 68

   In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team is joined by naturalist Adrian Shine, one of Scotland's most renowned researchers into the famous enigma at Loch Ness and an expert on the history of sightings of sea serpents throughout history. A long-time Loch Ness researcher who has spent more than five decades studying the ecology, physics, and mythology of deep lakes, Shine is known internationally for leading the 1987 Operation Deepscan sonar survey at the famous Scottish lake. Since that time, Shine has guided more than 1,000 students and volunteers in fieldwork and collaborated with researchers from over 20 universities. In his latest book, A Natural History of Sea Serpents, Shine explores centuries of sea-monster accounts through scientific investigation and historical analysis, offering case resolutions that he believes not only help to shed light on the sea monster mystery, but also help to "vindicate" the witnesses and their sightings.

   Remembering Jeff Meldrum and Jane Goodall | ST 67

   In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team reunites after a short hiatus to remember the life and work of a pair of icons in the field of anthropology, with the passing of Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Jane Morris Goodall, renowned primatologist, ethologist, and conservationist, dedicated her life to expanding humanity’s understanding of the natural world and its profound interconnections. Dr. Jane Goodall was not only as a scientist but a humanitarian and moral leader, whose legacy endures in every forest preserved, every animal protected, and every young mind awakened to wonder. Her passing marks the end of an extraordinary era in science and environmental stewardship. Dr. Jeffrey “Jeff” Meldrum (1958–2025) was a renowned American anthropologist and professor at Idaho State University, best known for his work on primate locomotion, foot morphology, and the evolution of human bipedalism. At Idaho State, Meldrum taught anatomy, evolution, and primatology and conducted research into evolutionary morphology, with special emphasis on how the foot evolved to support upright walking in hominins. However, Meldrum was best known as one of the most prominent scientists to engage seriously with the Bigfoot (Sasquatch) topic, publishing Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science and curating a large collection of footprint casts—while remaining committed to applying scientific rigor to controversial claims, in work that drew both admiration and critique as he straddled the boundary between mainstream anthropology and cryptozoology. Dr. Meldrum passed away on September 10, 2025, following a brief battle with brain cancer at age 67. We celebrate the life, and discuss the work of these two great luminaries in science, on this very special episode of Sasquatch Tracks.

Published 15 Nov 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Now, when Rupert Gould took an interest, initially about 1925, and he wrote a little article on it at that point, but by certainly 1930, he had a full -scale book in which he defined that basic shape for sea serpent, that is the multi -humps, and included a section on the Massachusetts sea serpent, the great New England sea serpent, because an identical form of sea serpent had emerged in 1817 of, well, in Gloucester Harbour to begin with, a K -Ban, and it was so credible that it was investigated by the Linnaean Society of New England, which was based in Boston. There were a number of very credible accounts, and if anything, it was even more credible than the Scandinavian or Norwegian sea serpent, but it was the same form. […]
