  • Summary

  • SEASON 07 WILL BEGIN FRIDAY JULY 28TH

    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…

    Oct 25 2024

    In December 1975, on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, pilot Norman Peter Gibbs took off for a recreational flight around the island.

    Season 08 Episode 6: Time is Gone, the Song is Over
    Oct 18 2024

    Will the idea of travelling purposefully through time always be nothing more than an imaginative device through which to convey longing, nostalgia and regret? Or might it actually be possible?

    Perhaps the answer lies in one of the UK's great cities, Liverpool and it's enigmatic Bold Street...

Consistently excellent and interesting

Each episode is something new and interesting. With a great variety of weird, sad, fascinating and mysterious topics. Highly recommend.

fascinating, thoughtful and understated mystery podcast perfect for night time listening

a real stand out piece of work in a genre where the is so much noise and hyperbole. this is the perfect antidote - fascinating tales of mystery and the bizzare, thoroughly researched and thoughtfully presented in an unhurried, relaxed and almost hypnotic manner. I particularly enjoyed the backing music that goes with each episode and look forward to winding down at the end of the day with the dulcet tones of RMS. a real treat .

Why does he talk like this?

I read the book, and was so excited to find it was based on a podcast. But wth! Why does he talk like he’s reading the time?! He sounds so bored. It’s really a big shame. The first episode was fine but it just changed to this weird voice. It is very distracting and now I can’t understand the story. It’s a no from me.

one or my favourite podcasts

i love how Richard expands on any given story of the week and we get to hear about pop culture references, philosophy, metaphysics - it's not just about the thrilling story, but about what these stories and events tell us about ourselves. there is so much care put into how these stories are told too in the podcast

Poor…

Podcast that has completely lost its way. Discovered it in 2017 and it was groundbreaking. Downhill unfortunately in last two years.

Snoozefest!!

This could be so engaging and exciting but the tone of the presenters voice is so monotone and boring.

He sounds like he’s reading a Sermon.

Don’t put yourself through the pain. Find something else.
