Description
An improvised satire from the staff of a fictional mega church.
Mega is a critically acclaimed podcast that hilariously satirizes contemporary megachurches and their associated evangelical subculture. Hosted by Holly Laurent and Greg Hess, this show offers a unique take on American religious culture through a range of comedic characters and segments. It was named "Best Satire" by Vulture.
One of the most exciting aspects of Mega is its guest interviews, which feature a variety of comedians, actors, and thinkers such as Louie Anderson, Lauren Lapkus, Duncan Trussell, Jason Mantzoukas, Paul Scheer, Lisa Gilroy, Scott Aukerman, Tom Papa, Jen Hatmaker, Adal Rifai, and more. These guests bring their own comedic styles and perspectives to the show, creating memorable moments that keep fans coming back for more.
In addition to its guest interviews, Mega is also known for its signature episodes featuring Holly Laurent playing Day Labont, a skeptical teenager who brings on guests like his atheist thinker friend Hemant Mehta. The show's humor and tone have been compared to the mockumentary style of Christopher Guest's films and the dry humor of The Office or Parks and Rec, making it a must-listen for fans of these genres.
Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Mega is a podcast that offers something for everyone. Its witty improvisation, spot-on parodies, and sharp commentary satirizing contemporary religion and politics make it one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking shows available today. Join the Mega congregation and tune in for hilarious insights on the world of megachurches and evangelical Christianity.

I'm on episode 291 full range of your podcast I've listened for the beginning this by far is your best yet this is one of my favorite podcast on your channel also the one where I hatemaker thinks
should have played the one with Jen hatmaker thought he was gay but I still think he is gay no offense to gay people
your podcast is like a rookie athlete they put all their heart into it until they get a better contract making more money than it seems like either just coast or they go downhill y'all going downhill I used to love the show really love it I thought it was awesome and I think y'all stink sorry
when this podcast first started out maybe the first 20-30 videos they were good they were worth listening to but lately it sucks The thing that you put out on Thursday that little teaser sucks yo just funny hungry and me I understand but come on
you guys must be swimming in money Y'all have way too many commercials way too many I think y'all got more commercial than you do airtime like yours program but I think I want to stop listening to it to me again commercials Good luck money money hungry fools
Yeah, I must be doing good. You know that too many damn commercials. I like this podcast but the commercials I can’t stand I want to have the answer from you guys just to me commercials good luck
I am delighted that you made a real website: ohmygodthatsgood.blogspot.com. So wonderfully funny 🤣
loved they style ans so funny.
Not to sure about this show but I sure do miss Mega
Jesus, how many ads does this thing have? It just keeps coming and coming...
Wow what a Throwaway Line! No Response. "Drinks His Own Ejaculate." Emily, That was a Wild Hit!🤯😇
This will be a great show. I love you or just listen to every Saturday and you’re showing me Sunday
Fun fact repent in hebrew also means return and anwser so it didnt actully get lost in translataion ot just always ment multiple things
You messed up my Sunday I love listening to your podcast until you do stupid stuff like this, so I’m out
One of my favorites that makes that much sense about the abortion and how Christians don’t know what’s in their own Bible they don’t take care of you in life once it’s out of the Womb
Great show one of the best you guys put out I like them ones with day
Damn no Church Don’t like this one will be back next week
I’m going to skip this week I’d rather listen to mega Sorry I did not like this episode
I’m going to skip this week I’d rather listen to mega Sorry I did not like this episode
