Comic Linda Markus Smith joins host Rich Stein

Comedienne Linda Markus Smith came to national attention during the pandemic when she started her Zoom podcast "Comics Spot." Most comics weren't working much, if at all, so her timing was perfect.  She had no agenda other than to just interview comics and hear their stories. She had only started her comedy career maybe five years prior to the Pandemic so she was a newbie and relative unknown, which was also a plus for her because comics far and wide were not intimidated or suspect of someone who greeted you with a smile, a laugh and charming demeanor. So here we are close to five years later and she has amassed well over one thousand ( that's correct 1000) ZOOM PODCASTS for COMICS SPOT and shows no signs of slowing down. On my podcast ( I was a little intimidated by interviewing the Queen of podcasting) she tells of her early days in Portland and going into the Army and being stationed in Germany and her working life which her longest employment was in banking.   She really found her niche when she started in stand up comedy close to ten years ago, and has made her bones in Las Vegas and only recently decided to return to her place of birth and take on The Big Apple.    please welcome to the mics : Linda Markus Smith .
