Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Greatest Gumshoe podcast? 

Greatest Gumshoe is an interactive murder mystery podcast. Every season, we present a new case for our listeners to solve. With each new episode, we release new clues and give our gumshoes the chance to steer the direction of the investigation by voting in polls and submitting their questions. At the end of the season, one lucky listener is crowned "The Greatest Gumshoe." 

​

Wait, what's a podcast? 

A podcast is basically FREE on-demand audio entertainment (kind of like radio, but without the obnoxious DJs and ads every 5 seconds). If you have an iPhone, you likely already have the podcast app automatically downloaded on your phone (hint: it's purple) and you can find us (and other podcasts) on iTunes. If you don't have an Apple device, you have lots of other FREE options for listening to podcasts: Stitcher, Soundcloud, TuneIn, Podbean, and tons of others.
