‘Unsolved Mysteries’ Podcast Returns October 29 — and Adds Video for the First Time

One of true crime’s most durable franchises is reopening its case files. Audacy announced on October 20 that a new season of the “Unsolved Mysteries” podcast premieres Thursday, October 29, with new episodes weekly — and, for the first time in the podcast’s history, the season will also be released on video.

Hosted by Jordan Murphy, the new season digs into some of the most enduring mysteries on record, including the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the vanishing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist — a case the television series helped push back into active investigation. The podcast is produced by Unsolved Media, the joint venture between Cosgrove/Meurer Productions and Cadence13 Studios, with Audacy handling sales and distribution.

The podcast edition of “Unsolved Mysteries” first premiered in 2021 and climbed to the top of the true-crime charts, extending a franchise that has lived on television for decades and is now in its 18th season on Netflix. The move to video mirrors that television revival — and reflects where podcasting itself is heading, as flagship audio brands increasingly launch with cameras rolling from day one.

For a franchise built on asking the public to help solve the unsolvable, the format expansion is a natural next step: more ways to watch, more eyes on the evidence, and a new season of cases that refuse to stay closed.

The case selection underlines the ambition. Earhart and MH370 are two of the most examined disappearances in modern history, and the Gardner heist remains one of the FBI’s most famous open files — exactly the kind of mysteries where a fresh season, a fresh audience and a fresh tip can still change the ending. New episodes drop every Thursday from Audacy on all major podcast platforms.

Billy Porter Opens a Faith-and-Identity Conversation Series as First Guest of ‘This Is Our Story’

A new monthly conversation series is making room for the stories people are rarely asked to tell in full. “This Is Our Story,” hosted by Seth Pinnock — founder of the UK charity Symphony Co. — launched October 20 from Symphony Co. and In Details Studios, exploring culture, faith, sexuality, identity and the life-shaping stories in between.

The inaugural guest sets the tone: Billy Porter, the Emmy, Grammy and three-time Tony Award winner, sits down with Pinnock for an open conversation about growing up in the Pentecostal church, enduring bullying, and the long road through faith, healing and forgiveness.

Porter’s reflections anchor the episode. “Forgiveness is for me,” he says in the conversation. “It’s not forgive and forget. It’s forgive and move forward.” It is the kind of unguarded exchange the series is built to hold — personal history examined without spectacle, by a host whose own work through Symphony Co. centers community and young people’s stories.

As a monthly series, “This Is Our Story” is positioned as a slow conversation in a fast medium: one guest, one story, and the space to tell it properly. With Porter as its first voice, it opens with a story that moves from the church pews of Pittsburgh to the highest stages in entertainment — and finds healing, not bitterness, at the center of it.

That is precisely the ground Pinnock wants the series to hold. The conversations are structured around the moments that shape a life rather than the highlights that sell one, and Porter’s episode — part testimony, part masterclass in survival — gives the young series an unmistakable statement of intent from its very first installment.
