= Cryptid Zone = Cryptid Zone is a cryptozoology humor podcast running from July 28, 2017 to today. It is hosted by Lois Stone and Jeremy Hewes and edited by Ben.

Format
The hosts of Cryptid Zone are Lois Stone and Jeremy Hewes. As they do not live in the same country, episodes are recorded over a video call. From episodes 1 to 20, the intro and outro music was a short acoustic guitar tune but was changed to the theme from the television show In Search of... from episode 21 onwards. The format is very laid back as many humorous anecdotes and claims are made.

Each episode focuses on one cryptid. The beginning of the episode is a prelude from the hosts on their previous activities and lives, often having little to nothing to do with the episode's cryptid or the topic of cryptozoology at all. After this prelude, the hosts begin with a description of the cryptid and its backstory. They discuss major sightings, possible theories, and speculative personality traits.

A common occurrence episode is interrupted by runaway tangents that lead to another non-cryptozoological topic. These tangents can run for many minutes, contributing to the low information density about cryptids in relation to each episode's length. Other regular features include oficial segments such as "Cryptid Classification," "Would You Date," and "Check-In with MonsterQuest" and other less frequent segments such as "Lois Overexplains Bad Films About Cryptids."

Episodes end with questions from listeners asked through Twitter, and are mostly humorous and unserious in nature, with the hosts given purely speculative and funny answers. Each episodes endss with contact information for the show, the hosts and editor, and finally with the segment "Would You Date" where Stone and Hewes discuss whether they would date the cryptid at hand.

Reception
Cryptid Zone has mixed reviews and appeals to a smaller audience. While some appreciate the show for its comedy, others criticize it for not being serious and being based in poorly done research. The show has a 3.7/5 rating on Apple Podcasts, with the reviews showing this divide in views. Below shows an example of one such critic who gave a one star review and did not appreciate the podcasts' satirical nature: "Cmon now I listened to the recent episode and the first tens minutes was about there personal trips and nothing to do with cryptids"

The following five star review is a more favorable review showing understanding and appreciation of the show's style: "Fun to just chill to Love the randomness and humor. Pretty bad for actual cryptozoology research, but it has the crazy, outlandish, and absurd “theories” and commentary that I love. To all those who gave poor ratings, learn to laugh and that this show obviously is not supposed to be a rigorous project on proving cryptids and providing facts."
