Due to Buttons being busy having a southern hemisphere summer holiday, this Christmas special clearly is well ​late (which he apologies for profusely) but it's worth the wait - not least due to the amazing ____________*1 as well as the ____________*2!
In here you'll find news on time travelers from Mars, theoretically Anthrax ridden conspiracy theorists and auto-replicating Pacman-esque xenobots made from frog cells... in a dish non the less! Also; some new Bigfoot footage from Georgia along with some old footage from a cowboy, alien bases below the ice, an expletive ridden speed sighting and a Jelly fish with ​30ft ​mouth-arms... or is it arse-hands... you decide!

#2 Gregor

Rhys Darby, Dan Schreiber, and 'Buttons' bring you The Cryptid Factor - a show dedicated to the weird and the wonderful, and in particular, Cryptozoology.

Hear the team passionately (and often awkwardly) discuss animals yet to be proven by science - like the Mongolian Death Worm, Chupacabra, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster. Though they take the pseudo-science as seriously as they can, they struggle to take themselves seriously at all.

Its hosts are comedian & actor Rhys Darby, host of top rating podcast 'No Such Thing as a Fish' Dan Schreiber - and Pulling it all together is their best friend, 'Buttons'. If anything goes wrong, it is probably his fault.
