It’s a well known fact, comedians like to talk; so much so, that a lot of them make podcasts and capture their funniest diatribes and conversations in audio form! Film maker Kevin Smith, founder and host of Smodcast is one of these funny people and we’d like to welcome him and his podcast network Smodcast to SoundCloud!

Smodcast is a collection of funny conversational podcasts with a variety of hosts, while a number are hosted by Kevin Smith himself. Famous for Dogma, Clerks, Mallrats Jay and Silent Bob and Chasing Amy to name a few, the shows are dive into the latest current affairs, comic books, movies, and the occasional comment on the slighter cruder elements of life, but of course funny! There are 17 shows on the network, some are hosted by friends and family of Kevin, and are all worth a listen! Here’s a handful to get you started. If you want to listen to more you should follow them on SoundCloud!

First up is Hollywood Babble-On, presented by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman, who you may know for his voices on Family Guy. It’s their take on the latest news in Hollywood, and it’s very, very funny. Where better to start than with episode one.

Next up is Jay and Silent Bob Get Old. Another show with Kevin Smith but this time with Jason Mewes, his ‘Jay’ to Kevin’s ‘Silent Bob’ in movies such as Dogma and Mallrats. This show often goes into the amusing nitty gritty of their personal lives, particularly Jason, an ex drug addict. Also too funny to miss!

One of the many shows without the great Mr Smith is Tell ‘Em Steve-Dave. It’s a weekly podcast released every Friday. It’s hosted by View Askew Productions (Kevin’s production company) regulars and close friends of Kevin Smith, “Steve-Dave” Bryan Johnson, “Fanboy” Walt Flanagan, as well as the “dubious tech guy” Brian Quinn. They are also joined regularly by Ming Chen, who works on the many View Askew websites.[1] On occasion, the group has also been joined by Sunday Jeff, who works the Sunday shift at Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. Jeff was also a host on the podcast Puck Nuts. Johnson played Steve-Dave and Flanagan played Fanboy who yelled “Tell ‘em, Steve-Dave!” in Mallrats. Enjoy!

There are so many more to talk about, we’ll have to do another post to cover some of the other shows, but to cap it off, you should also listen to Smodcast, the one and only original show of the Smocast Network. This show is hosted by Kevin with his long time producing partner Scott Mosier. Here’s the first episode for you to dive into. Happy listening!

Featuring the likes of Bill Burr, Al Madrigal (from John Stewart’s Daily Show), Harland Williams, Ari Shaffir and Christian Pazsitzky, to name just a few, the shows cover all elements of comedy, middle age, humanity and fart jokes. Here’s a few suggestions of shows to follow. The entire 11 show network is also listed below.

Bill Burr also features on the All Things Comedy Network with his show Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast. Here’s Bill explaining the show:

“I host a podcast each week called The Monday Morning Podcast. This past year I was lucky enough to be in two episodes of Breaking Bad. I hope to get a chance to do more work like that in the future.”

The Minivan Men features comedians Chris Spencer, Al Madrigal and Maz Jobrani. They all have kids. They also have wonderful wives, friends and neighbors who sometimes drive them to the brink of insanity.
