Wild Thing Krantz hosts a podcast called Wild Thing. The first season aired in 2018 and documents Krantz's discovery that she is related to anthropologist Grover Krantz, who was one of the world's foremost experts on the cryptozoological creature Bigfoot. The podcast began as her reluctant foray into understanding the cultural fascination with Sasquatch, as well as how the creature might have evolved and various attempts to track it down. Subsequent seasons explored the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the viability of nuclear power. Krantz went on to write children's books based on the podcast.
