Over the Lege, The Live Podcast!

Comedy EN ↓ 78 episodes

Over the Lege, the number one, and some say only, political comedy satire show based solely on the Texas Legislature returns with a podcast! Over the Lege gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the shenanigans of the Texas Legislature by decoding political headlines and legislator's behavior into easy to understand dad jokes. This live recording will feature legendary Austin comedians and a celebrity guest associated with the Texas Legislature. No, not Ted Cruz. The Texas Legislature. That's right. Gary VanDeaver (not confirmed or invited).
