S2E2: Our latest episode is all about Mystery! Spanning the classics to more modern takes, we share the details of our favorite heart-stoppers and whodunnits. From there, our conversation then turns philosophical. As interested as we are in the genre, we couldn’t help but wonder: why are humans so obsessed with murder and mystery? Listen along as we debate and deliberate in hopes of getting to the bottom of it all.
