Wellington Paranormal | The Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Karen & Mike try new things Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

Karen and Mike are trying something “new” this week. It’s got segments. Apparently that makes it professional. They solve spooky fan problems (badly), Karen gets a whole bit just for herself (again), and they do some extremely average acting with movie scripts they don’t understand. Pody Jake’s still here, for some reason.

It’s a podcast. We think. Probably.
