Together with their funniest friends, they subject themselves to a cinematic nightmare, leaving no ridiculous plot twist or cringe-worthy dialogue unturned.

It’s no wonder that How Did This Get Made is consistently ranked among the top 10 most downloaded comedy podcasts. This multi-award-winning show took home the prestigious 2022 Ambie Winner for Best Comedy Podcast and was crowned iHeart Radio’s Best TV & Film Podcast.

During the live episodes, you become part of the action, engaging with the hosts through questions, spontaneously creating uproarious songs for segments, and witnessing unforgettable clips that can only be described as one-of-a-kind.

It’s a rollercoaster ride of laughter, astonishment, and shared disbelief that you won’t find anywhere else.
