Unsolved Mysteries Returns as Hosted Video Podcast

A YouTube launch with a visible host aims to generate viewer tips and extend reach through Audacy distribution.

Overview

  • Unsolved Mysteries announced Tuesday that it will relaunch as a hosted video podcast on YouTube beginning Oct. 29 with new episodes released weekly on Thursdays.
  • Jordan Murphy will serve as the series host and each episode is billed as an immersive 30-plus minute video podcast with select Tuesday case-update episodes.
  • The season will reexamine high-profile cold cases such as the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft while also revisiting past franchise stories.
  • The project is produced by Unsolved Media in partnership with Audacy and will use YouTube and Audacy’s distribution to reach viewers and advertisers.
  • Producers are explicitly asking for viewer tips to help investigations, a tactic that has in past Unsolved Mysteries installments led to new information and renewed public attention for families and investigators.
