Lone Shark Podcast
94 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 20 ratingsWhat 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.

S04E05 - Mulligan Stew
December 04, 2020 03:56 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBWhat goes into making a "lost episode"? Tequila, and plenty of it. Jim explains that the show he and Sean did from three days ago will never see the light of day. Timothy Treadwell had a better time of it.

Also, the Who are these Podcasts guys are some No Agenda-pandering MFers. Also, we talk about other shit. If you need to read this description to figure out if you are into it then go suck lemons.
S03E14 - WAP (Wet Ass Producer)
September 01, 2020 03:02 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBJim and Sean demonstrate their innate ability to take lemons and make podcast lemonade with this guest free, discursive, sojourn into the sophomoric.

March 25, 2020 02:53 - 1 hour - 80.6 MBJim and Sean offer unique perspective on the Corona virus, never losing site of the fact that they've made their bones off of dick jokes.
