HOUSE OF MYSTERY RADIO SHOW House of Mystery Radio Show began in 2013 as a once-aweek radio show from producer and author Alan R. Warren on KKNW 1150 A.M. in Seattle/Tacoma. Over the next five years, it would grow to be on several independent radio stations in many major markets, such as KFNX 1000 A.M. Phoenix, KYAH 540 A.M. Salt Lake City, and more. In 2017, NBC radio 106.5 F.M. KCAA in Los Angeles, 102.5 F.M. San Bernadino, and 1050 A.M. Palm Springs added the show to its prime time evening market, running it Mondays to Fridays at 9 P.M. There, it has grown from a 1.1 market share to a 3.3 market share (396,000 listeners per week, 79,200 per episode) and is the Number 3-rated talk show in the Los Angeles Metro area. The show's podcast version is now found on most major podcast platforms and has had 2.7 million downloads in 2022 so far.

Whether it's finding out about the guest's strangest date to the weirdest place they like to write, we will do it! I want the listeners to hear things they

Warren also prides himself on getting brand-new talent on the show at least twice a week. "I find myself searching social media on the lookout for new writers without agents or big publishers behind them who are promoting their work that I think looks great to get them on the show! Don't panic if you get a friend request from me because I'm probably thinking of asking you to be on the show!" Another unique aspect of the House of Mystery Radio Show is that Warren has found all of his cohosts and contributors through social media. "There are a lot of talented people out there writing, doing podcasts, and radio, so finding qualified hosts isn't too hard. They don't have to be 'The Best' or 'The
