Toronto: The Sonar Network presents the comedy podcast “Evil Men”

Wednesday, June 30, 2021

THE SONAR NETWORK presents EVIL MEN, a podcast about bad guys, rude dudes, and sometimes murderers! A brand new project by Canada's favourite alt-comedians, CHRIS LOCKE, JAMES HARTNETT, and MICHAEL BALAZO, the hosts of Sonar's HAPPY GOOD WITH CHRIS LOCKE and THE LANDLORD AND TENANT PODMESS.

ABOUT EVIL MEN

EVIL MEN is a comedic true crime podcast hosted by three comedians - Chris Locke, James Hartnett, and Michael Balazo. Each episode, they select a single evil man, bad person, or fictional character and discuss what made them so damn evil - all while joking their heads off. You’ll hear some super interesting nuggets of information about dubious historical or cultural figures presented by three guys who are definitely not experts in any way. In the inaugural episode, the guys explore one of the most notorious Evil Men in history - Jeffrey Dahmer. They dig into his life as a serial killer, plus they explore his little known ties to the worlds of practical jokes, tennis, and chocolate factories.
