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.

Nick Vardon

Before lending his voice to a flock of eccentric Bootstuckians, Nick Vardon spent over 17 years helping people get a good night's sleep—literally. As a veteran sleep consultant, coach, and public speaker, Nick built a career on understanding human behavior, connecting with clients, and advocating for the life-changing power of rest. His deep knowledge of comfort, timing, and patience now serves him well in an entirely new arena: surreal audio comedy.

The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck marks Nick’s first foray into podcasting and comedic performance. As a co-writer and voice actor, he brings a quietly unhinged energy to a rotating cast of characters, each as baffled as they are sincere. His deadpan delivery, unexpected emotional range, and commitment to the bit are proof that there’s more to Nick than bedtime routines—though he's still probably the only podcast performer who can recommend the perfect mattress while playing a man chased by dinosaurs
