“Every now and then, you discover a comedy gem that deserves the biggest, bestest, possible audience.
Ladies and gentlemen... here is Superego.
If it was created by English-based, rather than US-based, comic geniuses, then maybe they'd cite inspiration from the Ammando Iannucci school of On The Hour, The Day Today and Brass Eye. Maybe they'd say that there is a dash of The Goons' surreal characterisations in there; or a less menacing League of Gentlemen; or even a dose of the freestyling asides and corpsing of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's Derek and Clive Live.
But Superego is by no means derivative; this is original absurdist humour with a unique character all of its own.
Outstandingly produced, with tautly terrific writing, Superego revels in a succession of short pseudo-psychological 'case-note' episodes featuring self obsessed characters. Characters like my personal favourite, fictional US football coach Coach Helzevec, whose inane, unintelligible and meaningless post-match statements culminate in a beep-laden diatribe directed at a baying pack of sports journalists; then there's the freakishly jealous GPS navigation system Maggie the GPS, whose obsession with her car's driver/owner leads to character assassination of any woman who dares date him; then there's the entirely inappropriate country music star Shunt MacGuppin who, despite the counsel of his long-suffering producer, just can't seem to hit the right lyrics for a family audience.
In fact, there are countless characters who, collectively, deliver a truly original and rich mix of sharp, ascerbic, parodic, absurdist, vulgar, witty, just plain entertainingly funny podcasts that I can remember hearing in a long time - maybe ever.
You must listen to this. You really must. You'll never forgive yourself if you didn't hear it hear first.”Read full review »

“I heard friend of mine, PFT, was on this podcast and decided to check it out. Next thing I know, I had downloaded every episode and spent the next two days at work trying to hold my laughter in as to not disturb the other cubicles around me. It is now safe to say that SUPEREGO has become my new...”Read full review »

“I am blown away by the production values of this podcast. It is brilliant comedy, very creative and edgy but it also is probably the best produced podcast around. This is first class entertainment.”
