Gimlet is an independently funded startup created in 2014 by a team of producers who, like Kine, previously worked on This American Life. Gimlet is known for its independent startup vibe, but the end of Mystery Show is a brutal reminder that podcasting is still a business The announcement has left many fans of both Mystery Show and Gimlet itself wondering what this means for the future of Kine’s project, and for Gimlet’s hitherto spotless reputation as a podcast publisher. Gimlet also added that the podcast network was "in discussions with Starlee to reach an agreement where she may produce Mystery Show independently of Gimlet." However, these factors combined make Mystery Show unsustainable to produce and publish on a consistent basis, and therefore Gimlet will no longer produce new episodes of Mystery Show. Mystery Show is an ambitious production and Starlee has an uncompromising vision for the show, which is what makes it so great.
In a formal announcement issued after Kine’s Facebook post, Gimlet stated that these factors led to the company’s decision to stop producing the podcast: But achieving the podcast’s signature mix of in-depth reporting and unexpected story turns involved several production challenges, including extensive travel, a wide variety of interviews, and a considerable amount of spontaneity. Kine’s bubbly personality and her interest in the whimsical mysteries behind everyday things characterized Mystery Show’s first season. Kine, whose previous credits include contributions to the famous Ira Glass–hosted radio show This American Life, added that since April, she has been "working every day to figure out a new plan for the show." Just a few months prior, iTunes voted it Best Podcast of the Year. Mystery Show is the only show this has happened to at Gimlet. I lost my staff, my salary, my benefits, my budget and my email address. The day I returned, Alex Blumberg told me the show was unsustainable. I didn't make as much progress as I had hoped, but the season was starting to take shape. I’d been having trouble figuring out the new season – second seasons can be tricky – and so I'd gone away, to work on an episode. This came without warning while I was in the midst of working on the second season. In an October 6 Facebook post, Kine revealed that Gimlet quietly canceled the show in April: A second season was announced in January.īut new episodes never materialized, and Gimlet Media, the startup podcast network that produced Mystery Show, has since parted ways with Kine.
