Notable Episodes: "Belt Buckle", "Source Code"
Fans of This American Life might recognize Starlee Kine as the adorably voiced host that once interviewed Phil Collins about how to write a broken-hearted love song. She carries the same quirky charm over into her new podcast, providing listeners with a new offbeat mystery to solve each week. These aren't standard mysteries, though. There are no murders or even crimes. Kine is far more interested in the types of everyday "I wonder" mysteries we all encounter, but never take the time to investigate. From nailing down Jake Gyllenhall's apparently dubious height to finding the owner of an eccentric belt buckle, Kine's personality and wit carry the listener through each peculiar quest for answers. Don't let the low-stakes premise fool you, though. A couple of the episodes hit you straight in the feels. Mystery Show's first season is over and free to download.
