Doolin goes solo for a deep dive into one of Vero Beach’s most controversial and fascinating legends — The Vero Man.

Once believed to be proof that early humans lived right here in Vero Beach during the last Ice Age, the discovery sparked national attention, heated debates, and decades of unanswered questions. But was the Vero Man truly ancient… or was something else going on beneath the surface?

In this episode, we rewind the clock, sift through fossils, and explore the mystery that put Vero Beach on the prehistoric map. It’s local history — but make it ancient, strange, and just a little unsettling.
