  • Sam Lake Vs Huge Davis
    Apr 1 2021

    Reliable Wi-Fi signal or be a sex god? That’s the question we are trying to answer. This episode of The Silliest Superest Heroest podcast focuses on silliness rather than superheroness. With a mishmash of moving parts Sam Lake and Huge Davies take a very loose definition of “super” whilst trying to come up with their hero. For a podcast that is supposedly about superheroes we spend a good chunk of time talking about Pokemon, Gladiators and Kangaroo vaginas.

    After a podcast recorded over zoom, I can confirm both Sam and Huge have reliable Wi-Fi but I am yet to find out whether they are sex gods. Follow the podcast @SuperestPod for updates on this as soon as I get them.

    Follow Sam here: @MrSamLake and you can listen to his podcast here: https://shows.acast.com/ive-had-a-rose-lets-talk-about-feelings-with-sam-lake

    Follow Huge Here: @HugeDavies

    And follow their comedy night @joymult where they are joined by the also fantastically funny Olga Koch and Chloe Petts

    Mar 25 2021

    This week, as ever, we are tackling the big questions. Asking/answering such questions are Janine Harouni and Ian Smith all whilst battling each other to create this weeks assortment of abilities. Janine was trying to create her ultimate superhero, Ian was just trying to develop a party trick.

  • Katie Pritchard Vs Stuart Goldsmith
    Feb 25 2021

    Dress for the podcast you want not the podcast you have! Katie Pritchard came fully prepared for this battle - wearing superhero socks. Stuart Goldsmith was not so prepared (He forgot to pick a head).


    Episode 4 of The Silliest Superest Heroest Podcast consists of more Frankensteining of superheroes body parts and powers to create a hero that is more of a Frankenstein’s Monster than Frankenstein’s Monster. What is this episode’s Mr Potato Head of miraculous powers going to be? Spoiler Alert: There are no potatoes featured in this episode. Sorry.
