Unexplained Mysteries

I’ve been a huge fan of mysterious topics or “Fortean events” since growing up watching the 90’s Robert Stack show “Unsolved Mysteries”. This podcast reminds me of that show—a straightforward journalistic presentation, with empathy, that discusses possible explanations but doesn’t venture into unhinged ancient aliens territory. I’m here for it!

The podcast is a really good podcast that explores some of the most intriguing and puzzling events in history. The hosts are great at keeping the suspense alive however their research and stories sometimes sound as though they are false. That said, the back and forth narration can break the flow of the show. Overall, it’s a compelling listen for anyone who like mysteries and suspense.

I listened to the podcast from the start. Overall pretty entertaining. Pretty formulaic and sometimes frustratingly slow at getting to the point. The voice actors clearly have no idea what they are reading in their scripts because often the script contains contradictions and or things that the actors would know is false based on their background. The sound design is just bad with poorly eq’d background music and cheap sound effects. I had to stop listening sometime early in the latest season because the factual errors were just to much to deal with. The newer scripts are either entirely or partially written by AI and contain mixed up locations and timelines. No human researcher would make the blatant mistakes these later scripts contain.

Honesty mid ahhh. meow.
