This short episode from The Bigfoot Manifesto is a fully scripted comedy sketch told in a mock-NPR, documentary-style format.
Meet Franklin "Torch" Devereaux — a completely fictional character who accidentally becomes the "leader" of a movement while he's really just trying to start a ska band. What follows is a dry, absurd, cryptid-adjacent interview filled with satire, deadpan humor, and the kind of chaotic storytelling that could only come from a universe where Bigfoot has a podcast.
This segment is not real news, not real politics, and not based on any real organization or person.
It's pure parody and character comedy meant for entertainment.
