Paranormal Playback
Paranormal Playback is the podcast where we recap spooky reality TV—from your favorite ghost-hunting shows to gaudy mediums and even celebrity ghost stories. Hosted by a trio of creative directors—Charlie Holley, Melanie Malone, and Lauren Sanders—we dive headfirst into the world of paranormal reality television, blending horror, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Each episode unpacks ghostly encounters, questionable science, haunted asylums, and the over-the-top drama that only reality TV can deliver. Warning: This podcast contains high levels of Zak Bagans, excessive night vision, rogue Ed Hardy, and enough Axe Body Spray to summon a poltergeist. Listener discretion is advised. Whether you’re a die-hard believer, a curious skeptic, or just here for the chaos, Paranormal Playback is your go-to for all things paranormal reality—where the paranormal meets peak reality TV drama.
