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 71 - The Disappearance of Pornography Shed 14
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A strange noise sparks a deeply confusing (and possibly supernatural?) discussion about Philip—a long-missing Bootstuck resident who may or may not still be wandering around carrying random objects and smelling up the back-back-back woods. As the hosts try to piece together Philip’s timeline (pre-plane, pre-everyone, possibly pre-logic), they uncover a bigger mystery: Shed #14 has vanished… along with its highly questionable contents. Between shouting out windows, accidental public confessions, and a philosophical breakdown of “Depeche Mode” (or dessert toppings), the episode spirals into classic Bootstuck chaos—ending with unresolved questions about Philip, missing sheds, and who exactly is watering the chickens.

What was that sound?
Whoa.
Well, that's Philip.
Yeah.
He's new around here.
Yep, Philip.
He likes to walk around with all sorts of things in his hands, and he doesn't normally...
Like that.
Doesn't normally do a good job.
Yeah, but we let them stay a little bit.
Why do you keep talking about Philip?
Philip hasn't been here in 17 years?
Well, he was one of the 1st ones and we're really missing them a lot.
Look, we got the poster on the wall with the missing upside down.
We have history.
Philip was part of it.
Philip's not around anymore.
Phil's gone.
So Philip is somebody that used to live there a long time ago.
Wait, yep, yep, yep.
He was here before the plane.
Philip was there before the plane.
Yep, yep.
I think I think he was here before everybody.
The thing with Philip, Philip was the 1st got introduced arts and crafts into uh, Bootstook.
Yeah, before that, we just had crafts and he had no one to play with.
You ever gone down to the back, back, back, back, back, back woods, Don?
Oh, well, nobody really likes to go to, uh, the backpack, back, back, backwoods, it's a little scary, a little dangerous, and it smells, uh, it, to be kind, odd.
It smells like Philip.
We should probably go investigate.
Well, no, I never thought about that.
You know, it kind of makes sense.
You used to drink and wander off quite a bit.
Maybe you didn't go as far as you thought.
Maybe not.
And also, if you notice, shed number 14, missing.
Why already take a shit?
Well, I don't say he took the shit.
I'm just wanted to tell you that it was missing.
So we're gonna have to go down to the shed shed and pick out another shed, put it where 14 used to be.
Hey, hang on a 2nd.
Let me check our, let me just let me look through some papers here.
Shit, 13 shit.
What was in shit for?
I'm going to just look out my window where you do that.
Okay.
Chip, Fort.
That's where we had all of our pornography.
That's interesting.
Well, we got to find it.
Hang on now.
I just yell out at the window, put the window down 1st.
Excuse me, I'm looking for a shed 14.
It's got some movie limit.
Okay, hang on now. See if we'll get a response.
Yeah, I, well, I, I've been listening to the 2 of you and, um, I have learned something today. That you had a pornography set.
Well, true.
There was boobies and shit.
Well, perhaps we don't want to be sure enough with the people.
All right.
Well, I already said it pretty loud.
So last I just pretend it wasn't me.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe it was Philip.
I think you should add that card in there and not forget it.
I don't think uh, we'll put this part into the recordings.
Whoop, whoop, dude.
Boop do.
I like him to know a little bit more about Depeche Mode.
You mean the French stuff?
Yep.
Okay.
That's how I like my apple pie, with ashe mode.
Oh, you mean, owl mode with the ice cream with the fish mode.
What the heck is it for?
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, vanilla, the best mode on top of my apple pie.
That sounds tasty.
So, hi, I'm still here, guys.
Great hearing about Philip.
I have to end the call here.
Is there any additional wisdoms that you wish to add?
Sometimes photos can jog your memory, and sometimes if they're scary, you can run from them.
We got 2 new boots.
If anybody needs a half pair or faux pair, we can accommodate.
Well, how long you could be going for because we need someone to make sure that Philip is looked after and who's going to water the chickens?
We'll give him the chicken's water.
What you want?
Down in the backpack, backpack.
