The Mysterious Pals have learned so much over the last 74 weeks but still we are at a crossroads. The space we are in is so crowded and we feel that we could do more to be different while still having fun along the way. So we have decided to go on hiatus until we figure out the best direction for the show and how to be different from all the other shows about history and mysteries. While we have some ideas, we need time to develop and test out new ways of delivering and talking about this type of content. Sometimes you need to knock it all down and start over to make something better.
Also, this is an open question to anybody who has listened to us, what do you think makes for an interesting show about mysteries? Any feedback could help us in this revamp.
While the Mysterious Pals will be on a break for a while, you can still keep up with us on the Watch Pals (watchpals.show). So thank you to everyone who has supported us through your comments, emails, and just listening or watching. We will be back soon!

After the death of King Edward IV in April 1483, his 12-year-old son Edward V and his younger brother Richard were placed under the protection of their uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester. However, Richard declared the boys illegitimate, enabling him to seize the throne and become King Richard III. The two boys were confined to the Tower of London, ostensibly for their safety. They were last seen in the summer of 1483. After that, they vanished without explanation, leading to widespread speculation. Were they murdered or did they escape and live in obscurity?

The Plain of Jars, located in Laos, is one of the most mysterious and dangerous archaeological sites in the world.

Father Whipper stands in stark contrast to St. Nicholas, embodying the shadows that haunt the season of light and goodwill.
