Wellington Paranormal | The Podcast
Created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, Wellington Paranormal’s television debut in 2018 took Aotearoa by storm and its international release saw it shoot to #1 on the streaming charts in the USA, beating Rick and Morty, Ted Lasso and everything else (it was #1!). Now you can hear the stars of Wellington Paranormal (Mike Minogue and Karen O'Leary) stumble their way through their very own podcast, where they discuss making the "greatest tv show of all time" (according to their mums). The para-cop-mockumentary is beloved the world over, with millions of fans watching classic kiwi talents like Rhys Darby, Cori Gonzales-Maceur Lynda Topp and Mel Bracewell.

This week on Wellington Paranormal: The Podcast, we somehow convinced Harvey Guillén (yes, Guillermo from What We Do in the Shadows) to talk to us. He tells us how he got the role—SPOILER ALERT: there was an audition—and what it’s like working with vampires - both emotionally and spiritually. Also, we dive into the labyrinth that is Harvey’s brilliant mind. It’s insightful. It’s spooky. But mostly, it’s quite nice.

This week, Mike and Karen watch Copy Cops, spot all the bits that went rogue from the script, and somehow start a whistling competition along the way. They tackle your Paranormal Problems, answer fan questions, and share the tragic tale of their one and only fight (no punches thrown, just feelings bruised).
It’s detective work, but dumber. And with more whistling.

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.
