Indiana - A State
Thirteen colonies began this fair nation and thirteen episodes will begin this fair podcast. In our Season One Finale Dane McDonald (@TheDaneMcDonald) of the Chasing Chalamet podcast (@ChalametChasing) joins us to talk about Indiana in all its splendor. Then Jonah Cooper (@jonahformayor) and Laura Marsh (@LauraHarshMarsh) come into the studio and really blow the roof of the place improvisational comedy wise.
Thank you to producer Logan Dean (@loganomics101) and editor Will Biby (@WillBiby) for a fantastic first season. And a special thank you to all of you, yes you reading this. A fun show is surprisingly hard to make and your support means the world. See you in Season 2: same Overstated time, same Overstated place! -
Maryland - Rejected By Everyone But Itself
Fun doesn't just happen in a galaxy far far away, but right here on our burning Earth. Making this life a little more palatable is our guest Courtney Fontaine (cdfontaine). We're talkin' Maryland. We're talkin' jousting. We're talkin', what else, crab cakes! Then Rohan T. Sinha (@brohan_solo_) and Mike Gospel (@MikeGospel) are welcomed into the studio for funnies.

Wyoming - More Cows Than People
If you thought this episode would be the Rogue One out you were mistaken, it's gold as always. Artist extraordinaire Jessica Deahl (@jbdeahl) comes into the studio to talk about Wyoming, cows, and everything in between. And there's a lot in between. Then Jack Wright (@JackDdub123), Caleb Woodley (@callmecable) and Chris Blake of pop-punk / teen angst band @ChurchBassment make their claim as one of the funniest 11 improv sets we've had so far.

Arizona - We're Fine
Out of all our episodes so far this is the Rogue One where our host has also lived in the state in question. That state? Arizona. The guest? The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's own Greg Iwinski (@garyJackson). We talk about aliens, Alice Cooperstown, and wolves in the backyard. Then Christopher Woolsey (@UrfWoolsey), Erik Morrison (@gifrychaucer) and Carlos Luna (@CarlosCrits) hop in the improv saddle and ride it to funny town.

New Hampshire - Live Free or Mutiny P.S. Please Recycle
There isn't a national rep for New Hampshire tourism but someone who could Rise of Skywalker to the occasion is our guest for Episode 9 Meg Kennedy (@NHmegk). We talk recycling, having only a four classes a day (!), and naturally nature. Then improv air buds Richie Owens (@iamrichieowens), Courtney Crary (@CraryCourtney) and Marie Maloney (@marie_maloney) join us for improv air fun!

Wisconsin - You Wanna Ride Around?
It's episode 8 and in terms of our music it's the first and last JEDI (Jacob Eugene Does It). That's right we're joined by Jacob Eugene Horn (@JayYouGee) who's band Jacob Horn Trio provides our theme and inside music. We talk Wisconsin, Willem Dafoe, and cryptids. Then improviser extraordinaires Meg Kennedy (@NHmegK), Surena Marie (@SurenaXMarie), and Pat O'Rourke (@patlikestotweet) mix it up with some make it ups.
Customer Reviews
Stephen Kropa has a nice voice
Overstated is very soothing and informative at the same time. The theme song rips and the guests are pretty cool, except for the one guy who did North Carolina
A cozy and raucous delight!
This show’s concept sounds simple—interviewing people from a state, then doing an improv scene set in that state—but each interview feels so cozy and comfortable (Stephen does a great job!) and the improv is always wild and hilarious. It’s also well produced and well edited and I just enjoy every episode so much.
Love! It!
Love Stephen Kropa! This show is a show made by Stephen Kropa! My boy!
