Due to its popularity, the show has started its own YouTube channel called the BuzzFeed Unsolved Network, and “BuzzFeed Unsolved” itself was divided into “True Crime” which covers unsolved crimes, and “Supernatural” which deals with more paranormal mysteries; both series have had a total of seven seasons. One of the key elements of the show is Bergara’s belief in the paranormal and conspiracies, versus Madej’s skepticism. Ryan is known to be a believer in ghosts, aliens and demons, but is skeptical in terms of some creatures such as Bigfoot. Madej on the other hand is skeptical about most of what is presented, except Bigfoot and Aliens!
Popularity, Collaborations, and Spin-offs
Three fan groups were created through the popularity of “BuzzFeed Unsolved”, which include “Boogaras” which are fans similar to Bergara who believe in the paranormal, while there are “Shaniacs” who are skeptics, and also a third group called “Shitfishes” who don’t fall into either category. The terms were coined by the hosts themselves, and their endeavors have led them to some interesting endeavors as well. With their research about the goatman they became the co-owners of the Old Alton Bridge in Texas, now known as “Shane and Ryan’s Bridge”.

On one occasion, “Unsolved” featured “Ancient Aliens” contributor Giorgio Tsoukalos during a discussion about a potential UFO sighting. The popularity of the show also led to a Facebook-based spin-off show entitled “BuzzFeed Unsolved: Sports Conspiracies”, though Madej is not a part of the spin-off. They also created the “Post Mortem” episodes, which mainly answer fans questions about recent episodes, and also shows animated creations by Madej which have grown in popularity over the course of “Unsolved”. Bergara is noted for not being a fan of the series, but still listens to it as a part of the show.
