Mexico Unexplained

Hosted by Mexico Unexplained

A solo-hosted narrative podcast exploring the myths, strange history, and unexplained phenomena of Mexico, from ancient civilizations to modern events.

The brief

A weekly solo-narrative podcast where host Robert Bitto presents short, focused histories on a single topic related to Mexican curiosities. Episodes cover everything from the architectural details of obscure archaeological sites and comparative mythology to the grim realities of modern cartel activity. The show's core thesis is presenting strange phenomena and leaving conclusions to the listener.

Unlike broader 'unexplained' podcasts, this show maintains a tight, consistent focus on Mexico. The host's academic background and sober, reportage-style delivery contrasts with more sensationalist paranormal shows, grounding even speculative topics in historical context.
