About This Podcast

What could be more pointless than ANOTHER Podcast? How about one that's focused on the grating and tediously over-populated world of streaming stand-up comedy 'specials'? Can we sweeten the pot by making the hosts two old gits whose love of comedy and social relevance have long since faded to nothingness? If that sounds like just the thing you're looking for then boy do we have 30-40 minutes of your listening time to waste that you'll never get back! Hosts are Bill and Mark and tech production and artistic direction is by Christian. We'll only publish full names when we hit 10K subscriptions and start to monetize.
