  • Horrible

    Used to be decent with just Paula but when they added Mike and Dan it became in listenable. Also the length of shows just keeps getting shorter. 12 min. What’s the point?

  • Paula is great/ the other episodes, not so much

    Love listening to Paula – she is a great storyteller and has such a calming voice! The episodes without her always feel like they’re lacking and often times the editing is poor (a lot of accidental repeat soundbites). Regardless, this podcast will introduce you to a lot of fascinating history about the state.

  • THE BEST STORY-BASED PODCAST EVER!

    I’ve been an OM’er since 2019, Paula is among the best storytellers of our time. It’s seems she imbues a piece of her soul into each episode, (or as I like to think of it, “A Slice of Schleis”). I’ve struggled to find another podcast that is akin to the magic Paula and Steve bring to Ohio Mysteries, to no avail. Absolutely unparalleled. Thank you both.

  • Mysteries are GREAT

    Paula's editions are great and I look forward to those episodes. The backroads episodes are horrible. Please do away with the those episodes. Paula is the best though!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OM Backroads: Ep. 118. Part two of our interview with Thomas Wertman, the State Director of Mufon of Ohio
Q: Were they believable? Did you believe their story?
I would like to sit down with them again to relive the experiences, examine body language, and compare their testimony with physical evidence like soil samples and flight data to determine credibility and rule out ordinary explanations.
OM Backroads: Ep. 119. Part three of our interview with Thomas Wertman, the State Director of Mufon of Ohio
Q: What's your favorite UFO movie?
I enjoy classic era sci-fi like War of the Worlds (1953) and The Day the Earth Stood Still for their era-appropriate depictions and practical effects, which shaped public imagination about UFOs.
OM Backroads: Ep. 119. Part three of our interview with Thomas Wertman, the State Director of Mufon of Ohio
Q: Thomas, do you have a favorite case?
One of my favorite cases is the 1973 coin case near Richland County, Ohio, because I lived in the region and the circumstances—an Army Reserve helicopter encounter and the crew's detailed reports—made it particularly memorable and influential in my own work.
Ep. 96 - The giants of Seville-Rebroadcast
Q: What makes the Giants of Seville such a remarkable historical narrative?
Their combination of extraordinary physical attributes, integration into high society through Barnum's promotion, and international travel created a rare, multi-faceted tale that blends spectacle with genuine personal warmth and community ties.
OM Backroads: Ep. 108: The Disappearance of Danny Violette and our interview with Steve from Great Lakes True Crime
Q: So Steve, I'd like to ask you, how did you first get started in podcasting? What led you into it?
Steve describes growing up loving radio and how podcasting offered a house-bound, flexible way to tell stories without paywalls or bosses, which inspired him to start Great Lakes True Crime and focus on regional history and mysteries.
