Podcast Episode Title: Part I | August Bonus Banter | Rosé & Readings
Episode Description:
In the second episode of Rosé & Readings, a monthly bonus series from the Paranormal Playback podcast, co-hosts Charlie, Mel, and Lor return with another wine-fueled ghost girl happy hour, this time featuring PlancheTina-approved picks and some very chaotic EVP drama.
This haunted hangout kicks off with August’s rosé selections: Costco’s surprisingly good Kirkland Signature Rosé and the elegant, non-alcoholic TÖST Rosé, chosen for one reason only, “One wine for chaos, one for clarity.” As the bottles get passed around, the spirits start flowing, both figuratively and (maybe) literally.
In this episode, Lauren reads the paranormal tea on Zak Bagans’ wild dating rumors, ghost possession allegations, and some truly unhinged TikTok confessions. The trio then dives into listener-submitted ghost stories, including:
👻 A five-year-old saved by a ghostly friend in a near-fatal car crash
📸 A glowing orb that transforms into a screaming face in a digital photo
💀 A haunting tied to a memorial wreath and a boy who “would’ve loved y’all”
🏺 Mel’s eerie encounters in her mom’s antique store
🕯️ A ghost grandma who gets accidentally saged by her favorite granddaughter
Plus, Charlie challenges the group to a round of Say What?!, a ghostly EVP guessing game that ends with questionable points, blurry audio, and a passionate debate about whether Zak Bagans is possessed at climax, or just using “trigger objects” in the bedroom.
This episode blends spooky storytelling, dark humor, wine-soaked chaos, and heartfelt confessions, including Lauren’s first paranormal experience at age nine, when she saw a ghost boy in boxer shorts standing in her mother’s doorway.

PlanchTina’s Pick
The spirit picks the spirits. This month, PlancheTina floated straight to a fan-favorite bottle that speaks in hushed tones and haunted hints of summer.
Is it the wine? Or is it the whispering? Only the ghosts know…
Kirkland Cótes de Provence
“It pairs best with candlelight, chaos, and a Costco card.”
—PlancheTina
This Month’s Pour:
Kirkland Signature Cótes de ProvencevRosé
From the fluorescent aisles of Costco to your haunted happy hour, this French rosé may be a budget bottle, but don’t let the price tag fool you. PlancheTina calls it “the emotional support rosé of paranormal investigators. Cheap. Reliable. Potentially cursed.”
Tasting Notes (according to Tina):
Color: Blush of a suburban ghost at her first séance
Nose: Tart raspberry, melon, and unfinished business
Palate: Dry, citrus-forward, with “did-someone-just-touch-me?” energy
Finish: Light, clean, and slightly chaotic
What Tina Says It Pairs With:
Ghost hunting on a Groupon
Oversized hats and undercooked drama
Telling your haunted doll you just need space
Rosé Rating:
Witchy AF | Hauntingly Good | Possessed | Flat as a Planchette
→ Hauntingly Good
TÖST Rosé (Non-Alcoholic)
Crafted with white tea, ginger, and elderberry, this zero-proof bubbly is for when you're haunted and hydrated. Tina calls it “the rosé you sip when your spirit guide tells you to take a break from wine… but not from chaos.”
Tasting Notes (according to Tina):
Color: Glow of a moonlit tarot spread
Nose: Elderflower, dried rose petals, and emotional boundaries
Palate: Crisp, gingery sparkle with a kiss of tea leaves
Finish: Clean, balanced, and just witchy enough
What Tina Says It Pairs With:
Crystal charging rituals and bad decisions you didn’t make
Ghost therapy
Summer spells and sober curiosity
Rosé Rating:
Witchy AF | Hauntingly Good | Possessed | Flat as a Planchette
→ Witchy AF

Whispering Angel Rosé
From the haunted hills of Provence (or, you know, a very pretty vineyard), this pale pink Rosé is light, crisp, and deceptively innocent. PlancheTina says it tastes like “if a Victorian ghost became an influencer and took you to brunch… but made it cursed.”

Nose: Soft strawberry, peach, and a hint of secrets
Palate: Dry, citrusy, slightly haunted
Finish: Lingering regret—but make it chic
What Tina Says It Pairs With:
Passive-aggressive ghost notes
Linen napkins and latent psychic abilities
Accidentally channeling your ex during a tarot reading
