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, Mike and Karen boldly go where they’ve never gone before: a remote recording session. Yes, they figured out the technology (eventually) and sat down to reminisce about the iconic “Mobots” episode — the one with invisible robot things causing chaos. They talk about the bizarre joy of acting scared of stuff that isn’t actually there (spoiler: it’s harder than it looks), share some behind-the-scenes antics, and answer a few top-tier fan questions.
It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’s exactly what you'd expect from a podcast about invisible machines and ghost cops.

A supernatural stroll down memory lane, featuring the funniest, freakiest, and most unforgettable moments from the podcast. We’re talking top-tier guests, spine-tingling stories, and classic nonsense from the team.
It’s all here: ghostly encounters, eerie interviews, and the kind of paranormal policing only Minogue and O’Leary can deliver.
Relive the laughs, the chills, and the questionable procedure. You’ve earned it

This week, Officers Minogue and O’Leary take a nostalgic cruise back through the high-octane paranormal classic NISSAN 300ZX. Was the car possessed? Cursed? Or just very fast and full of ghosts? We’re still not sure. But we are sure that it was definitely an episode.
We also dive into some fan questions and attempt to solve a few supernatural dilemmas with our usual mix of enthusiasm and low success rates. Meanwhile, Karen unleashes her mysterious secret ability to…well you’ll have to listen in.
Until next Thursday.

In this episode of Wellington Paranormal: The Podcast we continue our chat with the legendary Harvey Guillén, this time as part of a hauntingly hilarious fan questions segment.
Harvey shares tales from his career, sprinkles in a bit of showbiz sparkle, and maybe, just maybe, reveals a secret or two. There may or may not be blood involved. Probably not. It’s mostly metaphorical.
Subscribe now or risk a mild, inconvenient curse. Nothing serious. Just, like... slightly itchy socks.

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.
