000 - Pilot: The Way Forward

It started over 40 years ago at suburban Chicago high school radio station WDGC-FM as the Chris and Dave Smorgasbord.  The program broke the mold at the time for what you would expect to hear on high school radio airwaves.  Chris and Dave were among the first to explore the conversational talk show format.   In 2010, Chris dusted off his old recording equipment to re-launch the show in podcast form with his daughter Ally.  Over the next 15 years, the SmorgShow Podcast continued forward in the old spirit of the program by featuring co-hosts Dave Jackson and Jerry Malauskas.   In 2024, Dave passed away leaving Chris and Jerry to determine what to do with the show moving forward.  Dave would want them to continue on but how does the Smorgasbord brand name work without one of the original co-founders?   The answer was to create a new spin-off series.  Here we bring you Chris and Jerry's Supper Club.  It will be very familiar in style as the Smorgasbord Radio Show, but gives us a bit more freedom to explore topics often avoided on the SmorgShow Podcast.
