Lone Shark Podcast

What becomes a public access legend most? Hosts Jim Sharky and Sean "The Producer" endeavor to answer just that in a weekly podcast that is surprisingly reminiscent of the Connecticut live talk show that became a hit for nearly a decade. After being "banned for life" (you can read the Wiki article for the details), Jim went off to do stand up comedy and Sean disappeared....until now. For more details on who we were (are) and what we did (do), consult our Wikiepedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Shark Contact the show: jim@comedyisdead.com / @jimsharky sean@comedyisdead.com / @seantheproducr
