Dead Waves is a paranormal call-in comedy staged like a late-night broadcast from somewhere much stranger than a normal studio. The setup is simple. Lilith receives callers with supernatural problems, and the advice rarely stays practical for long. Jack and Grum the Demon help, derail, object, confess, misunderstand, and occasionally become the problem themselves. That unstable group dynamic is the engine of the show. A cursed letter route becomes a discussion of postal hell and personal insecurities written on beautiful stationery. A Christmas episode wanders into demonic songwriting, seasonal desire, and the alleged magical power of once-a-year music. A live recording can turn a caller's hygiene crisis into burritos, deodorant confusion, spider mating customs, and everyone trying to remain helpful through the smell. It is paranormal fiction with the timing of barbed improv. The horror elements are present, but they are usually bent into absurd social situations rather than played for dread. Ghosts call podcasts. Dark mail arrives in ordinary bins. Horoscopes sound like threats from a broken fortune machine. The show also makes room for meta bits, bonus-content experiments, live-event energy, and occasional guest-driven scenarios that widen the world without making it tidy. Its language is loose and adult, though the appeal is not shock alone. The best moments come from characters earnestly trying to solve a ridiculous supernatural problem while everyone around them keeps discovering worse interpretations. Dead Waves suits listeners who like audio drama that is funny before it is polished, strange before it is spooky, and willing to let one reckless joke mutate into an entire episode.
Made for: For listeners who like paranormal audio fiction with sharp improv energy, recurring character chaos, and a taste for strange premises. It best suits comedy fans comfortable with adult, irreverent material.
What sets it apart: Dead Waves treats the supernatural call-in format as a live comic pressure cooker, where advice segments mutate into songs, curses, horoscopes, and domestic demon drama. The paranormal frame matters, but the real signature is how quickly the cast turns one odd detail into a full absurd world.
Join Lilith, a psychic radio host, as she advises callers dealing with paranormal problems with nowhere else to turn. With help from her ghostly husband Jack and their demon housemate Grem, it's guaranteed to be the best advice in this life or the next.Questions? Comments?
