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.

A simple trip to pick up supplies turns into another classic Bootstuck adventure as directions become optional, shopping lists become negotiable, and nobody seems entirely sure where they're going. While attempting to gather essentials like butter and eggs, the conversation quickly drifts into gravy inventories, mysterious ingredients, and the discovery that someone may have accidentally mixed cement into the town's food supply.
As the shopping list grows stranger—with requests ranging from century eggs and durian to spaghetti-flavoured ice cream—concerns arise that Dave might transform dessert into another of his artistic projects. Meanwhile, a large machine with an impressive moving arm captures everyone's attention, proving once again that almost anything can derail a conversation in Bootstuck.
By the end, reminders have been forgotten, re-reminded, and forgotten again, Jimmy is apparently flying a bombing mission nearby, and the original grocery run is no closer to completion than when it started.
