Kari Assad Ghost Detective

Comedian Kari Assad and her friend James Hillmer interview comedians about times they were ghosted romantically, professionally or...literally.

Available Episodes 10

Kari and James reflect on the season and share listeners' submissions for favorite moments from the season and podcast so far. They also discuss plans for Season 4!


We really love making this and need listener support to make it feasible in our busy lives. If you would like to donate to the podcast at any time, Venmo Kari @Karina-Assad. Donations go a long way to keeping this viable for James to record and edit.
