Unexplained

by iHeartPodcasts

Unexplained is a haunting and unsettling bi-weekly podcast about strange and mysterious real life events that continue to evade explanation. A story-based show mixing spoken-word narrative, history and ideas - often to terrifying effect - that explores the space between what we think of as real and what is not; where sometimes belief can be as concrete as ‘reality,’ whatever that is… More info at www.unexplainedpodcast.com and on twitter @unexplainedpod and facebook.com/unexplainedpodcast

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I absolutely adore this program, RMS’s voice and cadence, the subjects, the research, but the adverts have become profoundly erratic and distracting. They are so loud and comprise a seeming much greater proportion of each episode than before. 🥲 now it feels like the show is more ads than the actual program

RandomBroomHandle · Dec 2024

The ads on the show used to blend well with the content, now they completely take you out of the experience. Don’t match the tone or mood of the content, and completely take you out of the podcast. I had to stop listening to this because it was no longer relaxing with the ping ponging between the soft, slow narration and the obnoxiously upbeat or loud ads. On to the next one I guess :/

MZQP327 · Dec 2024

I was really excited when I first found this because the subject matter of the episodes is right up my alley! However, I’ve tried listening to several of the most interesting sounding recent episodes and I haven’t made it through a single one. I just could not stomach the narrators’ monotonous drawl of identical cadence and inflection of EVERY. SINGLE. SENTENCE. Sometimes I had to remind myself that I was not listening to a robot… It’s enough to make literally the most fascinating subject matter (for me) dry and boring. I say this as someone who much prefers factual narrating to opinion based and overly emotional narrating, and still it’s too dull for even me.
