Mysterious Matters: Science • Culture • True Crime

Mysterious Matters explores the frontiers of human knowledge through long-form conversations with the people asking—and answering—the biggest questions.

Host Bob Bain sits down with theoretical physicists unraveling the fabric of reality, astronomers decoding cosmic phenomena, historians investigating cultural mysteries, and survivors revealing the truth behind cults and crime.

From Brian Greene on whether we live in a simulation, to Bob Berman on gravitational waves, to Ron Miscavige escaping Scientology—these conversations go deep into science, culture, and the darkest corners of human behavior.
No sensationalism. No shortcuts. Just substantive conversations about the mysteries that actually matter.
