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.

Customer Reviews
Very entertaining show - love the hosts!
The WP podcast is a delightful mess and I look forward to it every week!
So happy to have found this!
I was a fan of this fictional pair of coppers as soon as I watched the WWDITS film & was thrilled when I heard it was getting this spin off! Wellington Paranormal is a fantastically hilarious show that was so difficult to finally watch in the US & there is just not enough of it. You guys are comedy gold, thank you for doing this podcast 🙏
Is this podcast hilarious? Yeahyeahyeah!
The real-life dynamic duo of “Wellington Paranormal” — Mike Minogue and Karen O’Leary — share behind-the-scenes tales about the show and personal yarns that are just as funny, if not funnier, than the mockumentary comedy itself. With guest appearances from charismatic co-stars (Maaka Pohatu, Tom Sainsbury), witty writers (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer), multi-talented directors (Jackie van Beek) and much more (like oh, I dunno, Jemaine Clement), this podcast will have you asking, “Why acting?”
