38: The Yeti - Are You A Yeti Fan? Then Yeren Luck!

In this episode MOZ stays at pre-pre-basecamp (a pub) while Jeremy plods off into the frozen tundra in search of one of the greatest cryptozoological mysteries of all time. Actually, MOZ covers the abominable snowman, yeti lore, and all things Yeti-adjacent, setting the stage for a serious deep-dive into Yeti Theory in the second half of this two-part Himalayan extravaganza coming up in the next episode! Many thanks again and always to Mr. Tim Leavy @ https://www.timleavy.com  for composing for us the greatest theme song in all the paranormal realms!
