Podcast: The Impostors
This week on The Sound of Young America, a special show dedicated to The Impostors, Coyle & Sharpe.
My guest, Mal Sharpe is one half of Coyle & Sharpe, a legendary pair of street put-on artists. In the early 60s, they roamed the streets of San Francisco with a tape recorder hidden in a briefcase, looking for marks. Their insane questions were met with amazing credulity by ordinary San Franciscans. Sharpe recently released a three-CD, one DVD box set of their work together.

This was a great show, Jesse. Mal Sharpe is such a cool old guy! Can you get more old comedians on the show?
That's kind of an interesting possibility... I tried a bit to get Mort Sahl on once. Maybe I should do more.
I was so excited that you interviewed Mal. Coyle and Sharpe did some amazing stuff. Thanks for all the hard work Jesse
Where did you hear about C&S originally, Brad?
Yeah, I was otally thinking of Mort Sahl! That'd be a really interesting interview.
