The Big Picture
The most important conversations are not taking place. Instead, they're being avoided, suppressed, or ignored. The Big Picture podcast explores the Truth beyond the influence of biased media, misinformation, and emotional bias. Our goal is to invite you to explore key topics with us, so you can form your own opinions. Our episodes cover a broad range of subjects, from history to various domains. You will often find us investigating historical events and exploring how their impacts shape our modern world. Hosted by Randall Carlson and Becket Fusik.

A Flood Carved The Western Landscape, This is the Proof | The Big Picture #9
In this episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson and Becket dive deep into the cataclysmic floods that reshaped the American West. From the collapse of Lake Bonneville to the massive Missoula Floods, these ancient events weren’t just natural disasters — they were earth-sculpting, climate-shifting forces that modern science is only beginning to fully understand.
Carlson walks us through the geologic evidence left behind: carved canyons, scablands, flood basalts, and sediment layers that point to sudden, high-energy hydrologic events — not slow, gradual change.
What triggered these floods? Earthquakes? Glacial dam failures? Something else entirely?
This episode connects geology, climate cycles, and catastrophe theory in a way that challenges traditional models and reveals Earth’s story on a much grander scale.
