Mystery Inc

One of my new favorites to listen to. I love the banter between all three of them, the stories about their grandma and jokes have me smiling and laughing through the whole episode. I also love learning about mysteries I’ve never heard before. Joined Patreon for the Unmasked because I couldn’t get enough! Thank you for the amazing content

Hanging out and chatting with friends.

The Waters brothers and Producer Kim have become some of my best true crime and mysteries friends. Sitting down and listening to them is like chatting with friends. A light hearted discussion of some of life’s mysteries combined with some true crime is so fun. When I need a friendly chat, I always want to sit down with Mystery Inc. while there is a lot of friendly banter, when it is time to discuss victims of true crime, things get serious and respectful. Great balance to some difficult topics. Hoping Mystery Inc. keeps going for a long time!

Jinkies!

Looooooove this podcast! Hoping to become a patron soon. Just had to give Kim some love! I have tried to encourage others to listen but they say they can’t get past the banter. Here’s the thing, actually listen to 3 episodes then tell me if it feels like banter OR like getting in some quality time with friends. Josh has the purest soul and he makes me laugh so hard! The way Shane shows he cares through relentless teasing reminds me so much of my best friend and I. And Kim is so relatable! The way she speaks reminds me so much of where I grew up (small town in KS). And how open she is about the loss of Amber and her journey with grief (both good feelings that hit like when she can acknowledge Amber is trying to tell her something) and sad like life events with Emily she wishes Amber was able to be there for physically. I really do not understand how anyone can’t love all the honest emotion and conversation. It’s okay to laugh, grieve, and tease to the point strangers question your friendship! Give it 3 episodes and you’ll find some gems of good life philosophy in what you may have once felt was “banter”.

Thank you Jesus! 🙌

I look forward to hanging out with my best friends that I’ve never met, each week. Everyone has the best sense of humor and the best laughs. Love all the banter and obviously the stories… but mostly the fun banter. Bless your hearts. ~ Kat

Hilarious

The three of them go so well together! It’s entertaining and fun, definitely a good palate cleanser for when you’re stressed and sad from true crime…

Thank-you!

Love listening to all of your stories, including the hilarious small talk at the beginning. The addition of Producer Kim (get that girl a Director’s chair!) adds more great stories. I could listen to all of you laugh all day!

I’m hooked!

These two guys are so fun to listen to while I work from home. Josh, you kill me! 💕 I love your sense of humor and your delivery. I’m also a “midwestern” kid but was raised by southerners and Bless Your Heart is part of my vernacular along with all the other crazy southern colloquialisms. Shane balances out Josh and shares his pers al perspectives in such a natural and unique way. Great show!

Zoinks and Jenkies!! What a fantastic podcast!!

Ya’ll are hilarious and informative at the same time!! I just finished listening to the episode on the plague and Elizabeth Bathory and I have to say, I have never looked at her in the light you casted her in. So Josh, thank you for giving her story a different perspective! It gives me something to think about as I go back and re-read her story! I love listening to podcasts that give me homework!😂❤️ Ya’ll rock!!

Takes me Back!

Josh and Shane are the highlight of my night! I put them on while I work and I find myself suddenly transported back in time to when I too watched Unsolved Mysteries and the Golden Girls with my Grandma. She sparked my love for true crime and the paranormal and these two keep it going! Also my other Gram would exclaim Jeezus all of the time! ❤️ Thank you for your research and work and thank you for making my work time less mundane!

Satisfies true crime fix without the anxiety

I had taken a long needed true crime break because it was making me more anxious in my daily life but I have always loved mysteries and spooky things. These two brothers have been the perfect answer to that! I love listening and their banter and their stories make me feel content instead of anxious. Love the podcast and can’t wait for many more episodes to come!

Very entertaining

I fell in love with Shane when I heard him on an older episode of Generation Why. Found Foul Play Crime Series and blew through all the episodes, including the bonus Mystery Inc. episode, which made me fall in love with Josh too. Now I’m making my way through Mystery, Inc. and will have to check out Hometown History and Rotten to the Core. You two are so much fun to listen to. I love your approach to the topics, especially your compassion for victims that society considers undesirable. I love your casual banter. Very entertaining! I rarely leave reviews, but I wanted you to know that your work is appreciated. Keep up the great work!

Love the Show!

Thank you two for this show! I listen while I work and it makes my day go by so much faster. You both are now my new spirit animals. My two chihuahuas, my love of all the topics you cover, my love of old books….you name it I seem to enjoy the same things that make you two my new favorite hosts!

Great show!

I recently came across this show and I am so glad I did. I am a podcast “voice snob” and will bail when the voices are bad. Both brothers sound unique and have great banter between them that is unscripted and honest . I particularly live Shane’s soothing tone . Highly recommend you take a listen!

These 2 together… 😻❤️🌈‼️⭐️⚡️🥰

I love their separate podcasts, but when the boys are together, it becomes more than the sum of its parts. I literally hate chat and banter in most other podcasts, but I am helpless to do anything, but love it when these two brothers start chatting —the story he told about not recognizing Jared from subway at the movie theater had me laughing so hard I nearly fell out of the bed. I want them to come to my house and hang out.
