    Episode 250: THE LAST RADIO SHOW

    Edison and Zaremba put on their fancy clothes for a set with their full-tilt blues orkestra Sharky & The Count feat. members of Brooklyn's finest, Daddy Long Legs! Joined by a bevy of beautiful women, they crank out their greatest hits, take a ride down memory lane (crazy cat ladies, the Rolling Stones, and the odds of actually surviving one of their shows, which Edison puts down "with the evidence I have" of 1:125). Still safer than the space shuttle! This was the FINAL episode of Arts & Seizures and we owe it all to our friends and fans, the Heritage Radio Network, and of course Roberta's Pizza. Thanks to everyone who was part of the ride. Tune in and find out EXACTLY what we've learned in 7 years...... xoxoxoxo

    Episode 249: THE LEGENDARY LOST MR. AIRPLANE MAN SESSION!

    Finally recovered from the Arts & Seizures sharkives is this jewel of blues and trouble! Originally recorded July 30, 2017, this episode was plagued with technical difficulties and thought to be unrecoverable... it took HRN's best engineer and Edison's personal touch to restore this show, but there was no way we were going out without taking it to church one more time. Tara and Margaret of Mr Airplane Man call on Jesus, Mickey Finn sits in on organ, and Edison speaks in tongues! Testify!!!

    Sharky and the Count skirt the edge of sanity with this blast of church-going good-time gospel, Bushwick blues, and an existential conversation about drugs, Spanish money, and the environment (no more plastic straws!) You will laugh and you will cry, Dave the Engineer certainly did. JUST SAY YES!!!!!! *Arts & Seizures* is going out with a bang, yo.

They claim to be the "Fastest 30 Minutes on the Internet Today" and they may be right. Really whiz-bang talk-show format with nothing off limits. The shows on ghostwriting were amazing, also the jam on the Ramones song with Handsome Dick Manitoba from the Dictators. MIke Edison is a really great writer, I am not surprised he is so funny, but I didnt know Judy McGuire who is also brilliant. Edison keeps saying she is "too hot for television" - she sounds like it!!!
