Bench Tested is a Ghostbusters podcast built for the fans who care how the gear gets made. Hosted by Charlie, the show goes beyond surface-level fandom and gets into the craft behind the community: proton packs, traps, wands, flight suits, electronics, weathering, prop design, collecting, restoration, franchise work, and the creative decisions that make every build personal. Each episode features conversations with builders, makers, collectors, designers, and Ghostbusters community members who bring real experience to the bench. It is fan-driven, builder-focused, and made for anyone who has ever studied a reference photo, debated screen accuracy, upgraded a pack, or wondered what separates a good prop from a great one. Bench Tested celebrates the people keeping Ghostbusters craft alive: serious about the work, honest about the process, and always ready to compare notes.
