Welcome to the Soft Weird Universe
Hey there. I’m Paul Cram—actor, narrator, book + scent nerd, and creator of Soft Weird, a podcast and vibe. If you’ve just found me: hi! You’re in the right place if you like your art a little offbeat, your emotions a little raw, and your humor a little sideways.
This is your cozy-chaotic guide to what I make, where to find it, and how to join in. Think of this as your visitor’s map with the “you are here” dot blinking gently in queer starlight.
What to Explore First
Here’s your soft entry point into the wildness:
🎥 Watch My 50-Second Explainer Video
It’s short, weird, and gets to the point. A solid vibe-check.
📺 Fun TV Interviews
Get a taste of me on screen. Bonus points if you spot my purple leg (long story).
📽️ Watch My Short or Feature Films
So here’s one of my favorite short Zombie films that I’ve been in. It’s popular, with nearly 5 million views… take a look and let me know if you liked it or not. It’s based on a video game of the same name.
Yes, I scream on screen sometimes. Yes, it’s fun. Yes, I have lines I had to memorize.

The podcast is where I talk with guests, tell stories, and explore the in-between spaces of life.

If You Want to Go Deeper
Sign up for Soft Weird Dispatch monthly newsletter
This is my behind-the-scenes newsletter. It’s like a warm note slid under your door. I share what I’m working on, thinking about, and weirdly obsessed with (garden gnomes, anyone?).
Join the Book Club
We read non-fiction that gets us talking—sometimes smutty, sometimes smart, often both.
Support My Work by Watching It
The best way to support me? Watch my films, share what moves you, and tell a friend. That helps me keep acting and creating without having to beg for rent on Patreon (yet).
FAQ’s
Q: Are you more actor or podcaster or scent reviewer or what?
A: Yes. But also: actor first, always. Everything else is a way to make the world richer, softer, and weirder in between roles.
Q: Why “Soft Weird”?
A: Because I live in the in-between: tender and strange, introspective and silly. The podcast—and most of my stuff—sits in that space too. As an example, I often am asked on horror podcasts and shows what my horror is my absolute fave? And honestly, I like some elements of horror, but am not the die-hard solid fan that many amazing performers and people are. I appreciate so many aspects of horror, but am also easily grossed out and have a soft spot for underdogs. Hence soft and weird.
Q: Can I be part of the community?
A: Please do. You can join the newsletter, engage with my posts, comment, suggest weird books, or just lurk and vibe. All good.
Q: Will you make a Patreon?
A: Maybe. For now, the best support is to watch, share, and connect. If enough people want more exclusive stuff (behind-the-scenes, early videos, etc.), I’ll consider it.
Q: Is there a Discord or something?
A: Not yet. But if you’d want that, let me know. I’m listening.
