“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 »

“This a skit comedy podcast that does it right! Hilarious characters and improv bits, fresh takes on familiar themes, and exceptional studio sound production. If you're a fan of wiseass/disturbing comedy the likes of Adult Swim, then you'll get hooked on this and kick yourself for not...”Read full review »
