Beyond The Edge Radio  show

Summary: Who is Pat Spain? Pat Spain is a 33 year old wildlife biologist, cryptozoologist, biotech trainer, TV series presenter and cancer survivor with a passion for adventure. He’s traveled to the most remote locations on Earth and interacted with many of its strangest creatures as the on-air host for the National Geographic Channel series “Beast Hunter” and the creator and host of his own web-based series “Nature Calls”. Pat is always enthusiastic for the next great adventure and excited to add to his ever growing list of “things that have bitten or stung him”. As the great nephew of the "Prophet of the Unexplained" Charles Fort, Pat thinks of himself as carrying on a family tradition by questioning mainstream science, considering unusual explanations for bizarre phenomena, and generally, investigating those things that science often writes off as impossible. In Pat's experience, when it comes to the natural world, nothing is impossible... Some of Pat's finds that have mystified mainstream science include a water-moccasin over 200 miles north of their known range and the first barracuda caught off the coast of Maine. He's also the only guy in Boston who's been initiated into a tribe in remote Amazonia by participating in the most extreme tribal ceremony in the world, the bullet ant ritual.
