EDM Detection Mode by Kevin MacLeod 

Amy Bury and the crew tell us what they hope will be obsolete in 20 years! We talk about soda can technology, ren fairs, free ball caps, taking a 7-Eleven for all it’s worth, visit a deserted island where desperation takes hold, give Compton the greatest gift he’s ever received, give Stephen the worst recognition he’s ever received, and decide what every American needs in their home! All this and Jett gets told to shut up! A lot!

Mining by Moonlight by Kevin MacLeod 

The Super Legit Podcast crew dives deep into the question: What tricks do we use to appear smarter than we really are? From repurposing vocabulary to blatant fabrication, the cast explores the lengths we go to maintain an air of intellectual superiority.

Lydia Nelsen answers this question the best way she can, while Rebecca Stevens answers... from another dimension! We dig into the intricacies of taking over other people's bodies throughout time, seeing the other side of a relationship, high school reunions redone, and how to avoid a nasty fate.

In this episode of The Super Legit Podcast, the hosts explore the cringeworthy world of embarrassing parents. From awkward public displays of affection to mortifying outbursts, no parental misstep is left untouched. Find out how Josh’s dad found the worst possible time to show him affection, or how Sean Michael’s mother stepped up for him in the most mortifying but loving way. We find out what it’s like to be the non-secret son of a rock star, or what happens when you and your dad have very different beer preferences. All that and a final story from Jett that he’s already regretting sharing!

Shulie Cowen and Norm Thoeming of Opening Night: The Improvised Musical return to the Super Legit studio (we totally have one of those) to answer the question, “What's the weirdest thing you've ever had to do as part of a job?” We hear stories of armed advertising photo shoots, Pizza Express mascots, overly anal restaurants managers, overly anal camp students, and lube wrestling! And have we mentioned all the scenes? Well now we have. There are a lot of them!

Dark Times by Kevin MacLeod 

Italian Trip 

Two returning favorites, Chris Thompson and Will Reyes, rejoin the crew to tell us what their most useless talent is! We go through youthful looks, predicting driver intent, and amazing paper folding skills, and that’s just one cast member! Through cautious carjackers and colorblind cops, a Kevin Costner movie obsession, and two stellar impressions from an unexpected source, this episode really has us wondering just how useless all these talents are in the end! Listen to make up your own mind!
