Realm, the podcast-first digital media network focused on fandom, today announced the addition of six new shows to its expanding slate. A Paranormal Chicks, True Crime Campfire, The Box of Oddities, The Shallow End, From Beneath the Hollywood Sign, and Murder She Watched bring distinctive voices and passionate fanbases to Realm, which will manage distribution and multi-channel monetization for all six shows.
The newly acquired titles bring a distinct mix of investigative deep-dives, comedic banter, and atmospheric storytelling to the network.
Hosted by Katie Fross and Whitney Kurtz-Ogilvie, True Crime Campfire serves up true crime stories with a clever splash of sarcasm and deep research. Sipping wine around a metaphorical campfire, the hosts navigate cases ranging from notorious killers to obscure historical crimes, delivering thoughtful analysis with a razor-sharp wit that keeps listeners hooked.
Blending true crime with supernatural lore, hosts Donna Elwin and Kerri Easterling lead A Paranormal Chicks, diving into high-strung ghost stories, eerie urban legends, and unexplained mysteries. The duo brings a comedic, conversational energy to terrifying tales, making every episode feel like a late-night chat with best friends.
Hosted by writer Amye Archer alongside a rotating panel of co-hosts and friends, Murder She Watched offers an engaging fusion of crime reporting and media analysis, breaking down real-life cases alongside the true crime documentaries, TV series, and media coverage that brought them into the cultural spotlight. The show explores both the facts of the cases and the way pop culture frames true crime narratives.
In The Box of Oddities, real-life married couple Kat and Jethro Gilligan Toth open up their collection of the strange, macabre, and extraordinary. Packed with bizarre history, unusual medical phenomena, and mind-bending mysteries, the show has earned a dedicated following thanks to the hosts’ playful chemistry and relentless curiosity about the world’s stranger corners. Their signature chemistry extends to the show’s ad reads, which earned The Box of Oddities a 2021 Webby Award for Best Podcast Ad.
Created by the Webby Award-winning team behind The Box of Oddities, The Shallow End with Schnebly and Toth explores the hilarious side of human misjudgment. Hosts Lindsay Schnebly and Jethro Gilligan Toth share real-life stories of absurd crimes, outrageous blunders, and people making spectacularly bad decisions—offering a comedy-driven dive into the shallow end of the human gene pool.
Hosted by writer and producer Steve Cubine alongside actress and writer Nan McNamara, From Beneath the Hollywood Sign offers an insider’s look at the dark, glamorous, and often forgotten history of Tinseltown. From classic Hollywood scandals to cinema lore, the show uncovers the fascinating stories buried beneath the glitz of the silver screen.
“We are thrilled to welcome these creators to the Realm team ,” said Mary Assadullahi, Vice President at Realm. “Each show brings the best of creator-driven storytelling with the loyal, passionate audiences brands are looking for, and we can’t wait to help them grow.”
True Crime Campfire, Murder She Watched, A Paranormal Chicks, The Box of Oddities, The Shallow End, and From Beneath the Hollywood Sign are all available on the Realm network. Listeners can find them wherever they get their podcasts.
