Kevin Smith finally gets it right again.
I’m a long time listener to podcasts. In fact I’ve had many a business idea around the medium including, but not limited to, an ill fated local music podcast (kccast.com), a network of said podcasts and a product I called wecancast that would allow people to create small bits of podcasts to sell and producers could buy them and create larger podcasts complete with ads from the network… but I digress.
Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier have been doing Smodcast for at least three years and it’s been funny for at least two and a half. It’s all of the immature humor that makes you want to watch a Smith film compacted into an hour long episode that you can listen to in your car, on a train or at work. You will make a fool of yourself laughing aloud in those otherwise quiet environments but it will be well worth it.
Playing off the success of his fleshlight sponsored funny hour, Smith has now created an entire podcast network featuring the normal cast of Jersey characters. From Tell em Steve dave to Highlands: A peephole history, all of the shows are well worth listening to even if you are pretty far removed from the View Askewniverse world named after Smith’s production company.
Fair warning. ALL of the material is vulgar. There will never be a 5 minute span where you are not assaulted with any number of pre-pubescent anatomy jokes and I say why not. We’ve all got to sit at that damn desk all day, we may as well listen to something in our headphones that takes us as far away from that spot as we can be. The beauty of the new network is that you can have a brand new escape every day of the week.
Thanks Kevin. The Smodcast Network is exactly what I’ve been waiting for.
