In the 60's, Jim Coyle and Mal Sharpe took to the streets of San Francisco in the name of radio comedy. They would ask strangers random questions and give them wild scenarios. They were like the Penn and Teller of radio. Along the way, they captured the San Francisco culture and attitude of the time. Their work has been compiled on a four-disc set called "Coyle and Sharpe: These Two Men Are Imposters." Producer Jesse Boggs joins Mal Sharpe on the streets of San Francisco.
