Yeah that part says to me that the whole thing could possibly be a joke
Speaking as a video producer and editor, there are very good reasons for using someone like a radio personality on such a show. Content is everything, and when a video camera is in one's face, many otherwise intelligent bigfoot enthusiasts who could appear on such a show can hardly string a few words trogether in a coherent sentence once the nervous/self-conscious factor sets in. Most such BFers aren't professionally equipped to be on camera and carry the show.
The radio guy probably has the ability to speak well and clearly and do the job of delivering the information and guiding the audience along in an interesting and entertaining way. Call it the "gift of gab" so to speak. The whole being on camera thing is far more difficult than it looks, and when a producer gets a host who can do the job, it's a good day.
In my book, the fact they've signed a pro ("pro" at some level; Obviously, there are also all kinds of radio show quality factors ...) is a plus.
