Unexplained
iHeartPodcastsUnexplained 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…

United Kingdoma month ago - Used to be awesome
Don’t get me wrong the content is great , hands on to the research and the production work. Old timer follower here, but since once year or so you get bombarded with aggressive ads on +6db level! 6db on a logarithmic scale means super loud ads ! And for a very very long time (they eat up about 25% of the podcast duration) I understand that you need to make money, but this loud and this long this is just a scam
Apple Podcasts1Avon MontrealCanadaa month ago - Love this show but the ads are over the top
Such a shame this podcast and storytelling is practically ruined with loads and loads of ads including mistimed ones when the host was mid sentence. Great, interesting stories, well researched & hosted but quest of more money makes it low quality experience. There is a balance to be reached- we get it - we are not paying for the podcast but lots of ads at the beginning, randomly throughout takes away from the podcast & just puts us off. TBH I find this a lot with iHeart podcasts (of which they h... more
