Chasing Bandos UrbEx Podcast

Joining us in the studio is none other than Matt, also known as the Wizard of Iz—yes, with one Z! This urban explorer isn't your average adventurer; he's more like the Indiana Jones of abandoned spaces, except he trades the fedora for a Hawaiian shirt and the whip for a sense of mischief. In this mind-bending episode, Matt regales us with stories that sound like they're straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster. Picture this: playing high-stakes hide and seek with security guards, spreading Christmas cheer by leaving gifts for fellow explorers in the most unexpected places, and hosting a pool party... on the roof of Kings Park! Yes, you heard that right—nothing says "party" like a pool with a view of the city skyline and a side of trespassing. But wait, there's more! Ever heard of undercover cops masquerading as urbexers? Matt has, and he's got the inside scoop. Plus, he takes us behind the rusted bars of Cresson Prison, unveils the chilling mystery of the missing autopsy table, and recounts the harrowing tale of spending eight hours hiding in a closet, only to leap out of a second-floor window to escape an angry owner wielding a hammer. Talk about a great escape! And if you thought Matt's adventures couldn't get any crazier, think again. He'll share the unforgettable tale of how he accidentally chopped off his thumb at an abandoned power plant. Ouch doesn't even begin to cover it! So, grab your popcorn, buckle up, and prepare to be transported to a world where the extraordinary is just another day in the life of the Wizzard of Iz. This is one episode you won't want to miss!

On today's Chasing Bandos Podcast episode, I'm joined by Mike, a seasoned urban explorer from Canada. Mike, previously featured with Wade in the Anyox episode and co-hosting an interview with Rob Bryce, takes center stage today, regaling us with unique tales from his abandoned site adventures. Among these is his gripping account of driving with his father to the desolate Uranium City in the remote Canadian wilderness. The perilous journey involved navigating treacherous ice roads, and you can catch all the details on today's pod. Another riveting story involves Mike encountering two grizzly bears in the woods, narrowly saved by a fellow driver at the last moment. Truly a wild experience! In the same adventurous vein, Mike faced off with two metal scrappers concerned about his drone flying, a situation skillfully diffused through quick thinking. Mike's affinity for grand explorations and full-scale abandoned ghost towns shines through. Previously, he shared his exploration of the Anyox abandoned city. This time, he transports us to Montana, unraveling the story of an abandoned Cold-War town meant to be the first responder to a potential nuclear war with Russia. This episode is a treasure trove of stories, too numerous to recount here. Tune in for the full experience. Trust me; it's one exhilarating episode!
