“Less is Morgue” A Praeps Collective Production

“Less is Morgue” A Praeps Collective Production

Less is Morgue is an award-winning comedy fiction podcast that’s equal parts hilariously offbeat and unexpectedly heartfelt. At its core are two unlikely co-hosts: Riley, a paranoid and somewhat abrasive ghoul, and Evelyn, a bubbly ghost whose life ended in spectacularly ironic fashion at a Nickelback concert in 2004. Together, they broadcast their quirky basement talk show, where the supernatural is just another day in the office, and things rarely go as planned. Set in an alternate version of Tallahassee, Florida, where monsters roam freely and the paranormal is perfectly ordinary, the show delivers a wild mix of absurdist horror-comedy and heartfelt storytelling. Each episode introduces a parade of delightfully eccentric characters—from zombies and vampires to otherworldly entities—all while exploring surprisingly relatable themes. Beneath the layers of chaos and dark humor, Less is Morgue weaves…
