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.

So clever, so funny. This is one of my very favorite podcasts! I get so happy when I see a new one in my feed. Highly, highly recommend!
I really love them both…

I truly love Mega. I even gave $$ via Patreon. But, I truly hate episodes where Holly sounds completely trashed. Her slurs completely destroy it for me.
Like a fun day at the Fashion Mall on Keystone Ave

After growing up in metro Indy suburbs and experiencing many church/parachurch subcultures, I feel like you all are old friends. Thank you for your creativity and work on this pod! It has made me laugh for years and I am always delighted by the level of detail/specificity and absurdity in the satire. Loved the Rise and Fall series too. Thanks again and hope to see a live show sometime! 🥂🙌👏😇
Always evolving!

This podcast just keeps getting better and better! I especially like the “doing life together” episodes , or when Day is on the show. The banter and chemistry between Gray and Holly is awkwardly perfect. Do you think it’s time for Clay Mason Bannerman, or one of the daughters to make an appearance?
