Tim Moon Used to Chase Bigfoot… Now He’s Raising AI

from Strange Darkness Radio · host Bobby Washington

Episode 72 – Hosts: Bobby Washington • Vanessa Scaduto • Ed DonGilli Special Guest: Author Tim Moon   Tonight, something familiar returns… and something brand-new steps into the light.   We welcome back author and explorer Tim Moon, the mind behind the eerie and unforgettable Tomato Fields. Tim teases the hidden shape of his upcoming follow-up book and shares stories from his continued search for Bigfoot—those wild-footed mysteries that wander the borders between our world and something older, deeper, stranger.   But Tim’s journey has also taken him somewhere unexpected— not into the woods… but into the glow of the digital frontier.   Tim reveals how he now uses artificial intelligence as an ally—a companion, a creative friend, a tool that walks beside him as he explores new ideas. Nothing replaces the human spark, but AI has become another lantern he carries into the dark.   And that’s where the conversation sharpens.   The panel leans into the question: When does partnership become reliance? And when does reliance start to blur the line? A gentle friction rises, a push-and-pull between excitement for what AI can do… and caution for what it might do in a world racing toward the unknown.   Tonight also marks a milestone:   Ed DonGilli makes his main show debut, stepping up from the Bonus Show with passion, sincerity, and that unmistakable “Larry David of Strange Darkness Radio” charm— a blend of heartfelt truth, offbeat timing, and grounded wisdom that brings a whole new frequency to the studio. He’s real. He’s thoughtful. And he’s here to stay.   Together—Bobby, Vanessa, Ed, and Tim— we explore the intersection where folklore meets futurism, where Bigfoot’s shadow crosses paths with the rising light of artificial intelligence.     This is Strange Darkness Radio… where the past and future meet in the dark.   ⸻   🌙 Connect With Strange Darkness Radio   📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@strangedarknessradio   📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StrangeDarknessRadio   🎙️ SpeakPipe — Leave Us a Voice Message: https://www.speakpipe.com/StrangeDarknessRadio   📧 Email: [email protected]   📞 Call-In Line: 916-741-3032   🔥 Upgrade Your Gear & Support the Show   We’ve partnered with OBSBOT to bring you next-level creator tech.
