SModcast Becomes 24 Hour Podcasting InterNetwork!

March 10th @ 2:19 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Starting this May, SModcast can be a part of your life — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Kevin’s announced S.I.R., or “SModcast Internet Radio”, a 24 hour full time internet channel, that brings a mix of live and pre-recorded streaming programming to any internet-enabled device you’ve got. This marks the first time that SModcast and its sister shows will be broadcast LIVE, in real time, on the internet, bringing a new level of audience participation which will include live call-ins and more.

    Here’s what we know so far — 4 to 6 hours of live programming featuring Kevin are scheduled for at least the first month. Two shows, one titled “SMoring”, which will run and be modeled after radio and TV morning talk shows, will run for 2 hours each weekday. Then, during the afternoon, a new 2 hour show from noon ’til 2 with co-host Jason Mewes (tentative titles are “Jay & Silent Bob FM” or “Jay & Silent Bob Get Jobs”. Like the pre-recorded shows, live shows will also be available for download, shortly after the live broadcast concludes. We also assume that the times listed will be pacific, meaning that the morning show will air late morning on the east coast, and the afternoon show will likely be closer to drive time here in EST.

    Fans will also have the chance to break into the business. Kevin’s planning to give podcasters all across the web their chance at having a block of time on the network as well. Good ratings/reviews? Maybe you’ll become a part of the family. Big news for anyone out there running a good show right now.

    Best of all, everything will remain 100% FREE for YOU, the listener. No subscription fees. The entire network, including the live broadcasts, will be ad-supported, so while you will hear commercials, what you won’t see is a monthly bill in your mailbox. It doesn’t cost you a dime.

    Plans for a mobile app are underway, which will give you the chance to take SModcast with you anywhere you go — No more being shackled to your PC to listen. Anywhere you bring your phone or internet device, the SModcast app will get you to the live or pre-recorded content. Details coming up in the next SModcast.

    The announcement was made exclusively on G4TV’s “Attack of the Show” where he also chats up “Red State”, the “Real Time” appearance, and lots more in a really nice, relaxed 13 minute chat.

Kevin on Piers – TONIGHT!

March 10th @ 4:48 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Nick Matson

  • British talk show host and “America’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan recently took over for Larry King with a nightly talk show on CNN. Tonight, advertisements for the program are announcing “controversial filmmaker Kevin Smith” as a guest on the show, which airs at 9 PM EST or 6 PM PST. From what we’ve seen, Piers gives a good interview and lots of room for the subject to talk, as the show’s format is not a rush, but a fairly detailed chance to get to know the subject. This should be the perfect spot for Kevin to chat about the excitement over the past few months, including the “Red State” tour and internet radio announcements. We haven’t seen Kevin tweet about this yet, so if anything with the schedule changes, we’ll let you know — Otherwise, plan on tuning into CNN this evening.
