“Awful. Absolutely awful.
Listened to every episode.
Andy is the epitome of more money than sense and Richard has the charm of an industrial estate car park on Christmas Day.
Also, the way in which they speak to local people is so unbelievably patronising you’d swear the podcast was recorded...”Read full review »

“For such a fascinating topic area, this really was the most boring podcast to listen to.. so much waffle and filler that was irrelevant.. I spent the whole time wishing they would get to the point.. not engaging at all.. I would rather watch paint dry than continue to listen to this.”

“Throughly enjoyed this lovely journey into a long held mystery. I remember the famous footprint photograph as a child and this brought that sense back. A shame that so many people politicise their review. It’s just a really enjoyable listen. Well researched through and through.”

“Don’t listen to all the negative people complaining about bbc funding etc. they clearly care and there is great journalism taking place here. Sounds like it cost the a lot of personal funds/time. Great listen and really enjoyed”

“It is a very interesting podcast that is trying to be… a mystery? A comedy? A scientific exploration? It is interesting to listen to the journey and the witness accounts are probably the ones that save it. Do the presenters come across as ignorant? Sure! But it adds to the content rather than...”Read full review »

“Outrageously bad podcast.

“Not really ground breaking and for the most part boring.
The hosts seem void of any personality. Their attempts at humour we’re embarrassing.

Just when you hope Mulder finally has the evidence he needs to hang up his obsession and get a real job, there’s another manufactured...”Read full review »

“Within the first few minutes of the podcast Andy reveals that his inspiration for his yeti search came from a 1955 book “The Sherpa and the Snowman”. What we have here is a podcast which feels the influence of a by gone era. It’s an exploration of not only the region but the myth of the yeti and...”Read full review »

“I thought it was determined and ambition, the yeti is a hard thing to find/ locate? I love the diary entries, also having believer and skeptic. All in all very well done, but if I may point you to the witch podcast? Have a listen it was amazing! You done good guys! Hat off to you!”

“The real mystery for me was how the two Yeti hunters managed to squeeze ten episodes out of content that was hard pressed to fill three. How the BBC were persuaded to commission this is possibly even more of a mystery. Yeti another example of licence payers money wasted.”
