    Ivy Insights

    The Unexplained podcast is undoubtedly one of the best shows out there for lovers of mystery, the paranormal, and unexplained phenomena. Each episode is thoroughly enjoyable, and it's clear that a tremendous amount of hard work, research, and dedication goes into creating this podcast. One particular favorite episode of mine is season 4 episode 4 "Alway Already," although I must say that I equally enjoy every other episode as well. The host and everyone involved in making the show deserve immense praise for their efforts in delivering amazing stories to their listeners.

    One of the standout aspects of The Unexplained podcast is the host's ability to pick obscure stories. It's not easy to find unique content in this genre, but he manages to do so consistently. Additionally, what sets this podcast apart from similar ones is the amount of context provided throughout each episode. The historical and other relevant information adds a deeper layer of meaning to the stories, making them even more engaging. These are two factors that truly make The Unexplained stand out from other podcasts in its category.

    However, there are a few drawbacks to consider when listening to this podcast. Some listeners have criticized the host's voice and cadence, finding it jarring or unappealing. While I personally find his voice soothing and appropriate for the material he presents, it seems that this aspect might be subjective. Another criticism worth mentioning is related to commercials. Some listeners feel that they are loud and obnoxious, disrupting the flow of the stories and throwing off the balance between content and advertisements.

    Despite these minor flaws, The Unexplained remains an exceptional podcast with fantastic storytelling at its core. Richard McClain Smith deserves recognition for his impeccable timing, subject matter selection, and his captivating voice. The music accompanying each episode also deserves credit for enhancing the overall experience. For those seeking longer podcasts with intriguing stories that delve into history and mystery alike, look no further than The Unexplained.

    In conclusion, The Unexplained is a podcast that consistently delivers fascinating and creepily intriguing tales. Richard McClain Smith's storytelling style is engaging and the depth of research put into each episode is admirable. Whether you're drawn to the unexplained, supernatural, or simply enjoy well-crafted mystery stories, this podcast is a must-listen. Don't be surprised if you find yourself eagerly waiting for each new episode and even revisiting previous ones to fully appreciate the captivating content presented by this talented host.
