How to Approach an Unsolved Mystery [S1Ep1 audio]

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is a mystery unlike any other — stranger, more intricate, and more technically arcane. To grapple with it, we need to approach it with patience and an open mind. In Episode 1, I lay out my own experience with the case and lay out the expert-centric approach that this podcast will follow. The show’s first guest is Peter Waring, who was a lieutenant in the Australian Navy in 2014 and participated in the search for the wreckage of MH370 with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. I discuss how best to approach this unsolved case, laying out the journalistic and scientific methods that will be used to peel away the layers of the onion in each upcoming podcast episode.
