why do you make me rethink what i think i know. your stories make me feel very uncomfortable with regard to the "truth" fascinating as always
soothing to listen too..also interesting.
q
thought I'd something more to say
Is money that tight, Richard? Is the network making you do it? I had to drop out when the adverts suddenly became half the runtime. My loss, I guess, but it's just too obnoxious. Thanks for those good years of brilliant storytelling. Fairwell
so sadly horrific. humanity CAN be the worst at times.
fantastic and mind bending
adverts are far to long!
yeah naaah Richard naaaa yeah ya night he right. another useless opinion (Australia) NARROWLY ESCAPED???? PMSL he got damn lucky!
So many comments about the ads. Here’s another one
WHAT IN SAM HILL

Is there any way to listen to Unexplained without commercials? I pay for the full Castbox App but still get ads. Is there a platform that is ad free? (With subscription)
let's start this episode 🌚
As usual, incredible and left wondering how much we don't understand in the world.
Why does this dude talk like he's singing a nursery rhyme?
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE
incredible episode. Telling your friend an angel said you have to bang his wife is amazing
used to love this post cast until adds come about absolutely ruins the flow
excellent, factual and very interesting. Always captivating. thank you.
