Tape 1- "A Box of Tapes ( Joining the Conversation Midway)"

Every mystery starts somewhere—and for Bootstuck, it begins with a box of old tapes from an estate sale in Sudbury, Ontario. Some are labeled, some barely scratched with cryptic scrawls, and others completely blank. Most are in rough shape, but this one feels like the starting point.

There is no context for what we are hearing in Season 1. No set ups, no theory, just the tapes as they were transcribed so you will experience them as we did.
Lets get started with what sounds like spliced together moments from the first set of interviews. The voice on the recording—unidentified, possibly on a boat, and drenched in radio static—will be known for now as Hat Guy. The interference sounds like shortwave or HAM radio, suggesting this might be how Bootstuck's strange transmissions were broadcast. But as for where, when, or why this was recorded? Nothing.

One thing's clear: Bootstuck isn’t just isolated—it’s got something massive swimming in its waters.

Cue the static. Let’s dive in.
