About this listen

SuperHuman is a high-stakes, edge-of-your-seat docuseries that dives into the launch of what many have called the “Doping Olympics” - the Enhanced Games - a controversial new sporting event where performance-enhanced athletes openly compete for a $1 million prize and attempt to push the human body beyond its natural limits.

While the International Olympic Committee condemns it, broadcasters salivate over potential ratings, and critics decry it as grotesque even as they admit they’ll tune in.

The Games ignite urgent questions about ethics, medicine, and the human body itself. From retired Olympians hoping for a comeback, to struggling athletes chasing financial security, to Silicon Valley billionaires and scientists pushing the boundaries of enhancement, this series pulls viewers inside the drama, danger, and allure of sport without a safety net.

For the past year, we've embedded with the games and the athletes to answer the high stakes question. What happens when enhancement becomes the norm? Is this the end of fair play or the beginning of a new frontier of human potential? Step inside the experiment with us.

    Imagine an Olympics where everyone is doping. No testing, no limits. Sounds like a joke? It’s not – the first ever Enhanced Games - a radical new competition designed to push the human body beyond its natural limits with a million-dollar prize attached kicks off at the end of May. And we have been embedded with the games for over a year watching athletes go from human to superhuman. I wanted to know, will the games go down in flames or usher in a new era, unlike anything we've ever seen.
