The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck
The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck is a documentary-style audio descent into a place that shouldn't exist—but very much insists that it does.
Once a forgotten military outpost in the depths of Northern Ontario, Bootstuck has taken on a life of its own. Discovered only through a pile of mislabeled cassette tapes at a Sudbury garage sale, the story of Bootstuck slowly unravels through scattered interviews, cryptic clues, and increasingly bizarre residents. The deeper you listen, the more you realize — this isn't just a town. It's a puzzle. And somewhere in that puzzle?
A plane crash that changed everything.
Somewhere between folklore, found audio, and fever dream, Bootstuck blurs the line between documentary and delusion—offering listeners a place to get lost in, over and over again.

TAPE 73 - Going Down a One Way Black Hole
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What begins with a loud bang and fears of the apocalypse quickly turns into another perfectly normal day in Bootstuck: old ladies crashing into buildings, philosophical discussions about black holes, and a town-wide effort to secretly redistribute excess snow under cover of darkness. Between warnings about being stretched apart in space, debates over the ideal Christmas color palette, and deeply confusing traffic logic, the hosts attempt to make sense of a world where every street goes “both ways” and arrows are more of a suggestion than a rule. The episode finally derails into an impromptu musical performance about a one-way street that apparently isn’t one-way at all—complete with sesame seeds and increasingly desperate pleas for it to stop.
