The Emotional Empty Nest with Brian Shortall

An improvised satire from the staff of a fictional mega church.

Mega is a critically acclaimed podcast that satirizes contemporary megachurches and their associated evangelical subculture. Hosted by Holly Laurent and Greg Hess it was named "Best Satire" by Vulture.

Mega features a variety of comedians, actors, podcasters and thinkers including Louie Anderson, Lauren Lapkus, Duncan Trussell, Jason Mantzoukas, Paul Scheer, Lisa Gilroy, Scott Aukerman, Tom Papa, Jen Hatmaker, and podcasters from Hey Riddle Riddle, Hello From the Magic Tavern, and 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.
