Chasing Shadows Radio
New episodes coming soon!
Chasing Shadows Radio is a podcast that investigates the world’s strangest stories — from cryptids and conspiracies to ancient legends and cutting-edge technolgy— all through a skeptical, evidence-based lens.
Originally broadcast on community radio, Chasing Shadows built its foundation on curious inquiry and critical thinking. Now, with a new season and renewed focus, we’re doubling down on expert voices, scientific perspectives, and thorough investigations that go beyond surface-level speculation.
Each episode explores one mysterious topic — like Bigfoot, time travel, ancient giants, or mind control — while spotlighting researchers, scientists, and scholars who help us ask the right questions and separate truth from folklore.
Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, Chasing Shadows Radio invites you to explore the unexplained with curiosity and critical thought — and maybe even change your mind.
Old episodes are now archived as Shadow Archive Episodes — and they still hold some eerie charm. New episodes are released in seasonal formats — giving us the freedom to dive deeper into each subject, feature more expert perspectives, and deliver a focused, evidence-first look at the mysteries that capture our imagination. Follow along each season as we explore the unknown, one topic at a time.

Let's Get Skeptical.
Also known as the SOS Incident, the first episode of Chasing Shadows in 2021 looks into the mysterious event that took place on the island of Hokkaido in Japan in the late 1980's. When two hikers are found after rescuers found their SOS sign, they explain to them how much it helped in their rescue - but the hikers didn't make any SOS sign.
What happened on the slopes of Asahidake Mountain? Was it something nefarious - or are we just chasing shadows?
