Jerry Malauskas is our in-studio guest again for a very unusual installment of the SmorgShow. For an episode where there was absolutely no show preparation, we managed to squeak out another 90-minute show. An open conversation of two middle aged men that goes on a variety of paths. Just some of the subjects discussed: Jerry introduces Chris to K-Pop music – is this the new male? Chris discusses all of the house projects that have been on hold that he is looking forward to completing once Ally graduates from college next year. How politics is infecting everything we do and used to enjoy. Politicizing the college classroom Ally attributes her interest in music to Chris playing ELO when she was younger. Remember the days when you bought a crummy album for one song and got stuck with it even if the rest of it sucked? Classic 80’s Smorgasbord Show Rewind: Mr. Brown Can Moo.

097. What is K-Pop Music?

The SmorgShow Podcast originates from the Chris and Dave Smorgasbord radio show which aired on suburban Chicago high school radio station WDGC-FM between 1982-1984. The show was known at the time for its edginess for a high school radio program. Chris and Dave’s all-talk format broke the mold by deviating from the station’s rock genre and often pushed the boundaries of acceptable community standards.

In 2010, Chris resurrected the Smorgasbord brand name and paired up with his daughter, Ally to create a new podcast series staying true to the original spirit and variety format of the old radio show.

After serving as co-host and contributing to nearly 100 episodes, Ally is now grown up and has flown the coop, leaving Chris to fend for himself.  As a result, the show has taken a bit of a different turn.  Chris now pairs up regularly with original Smorgasbord Radio Show co-host Dave Jackson as well as Jerry Malauskas who serves as the show’s Chief Conspiracy Correspondent (CCC).   And let’s not forget ‘Master of the Wide Open Spaces Between the Ears’, Baba Gonesh – who after 40 years of being featured on our show, serves as our International News Correspondent, sending his views and breaking news directly from his homeland of India.

While Seinfeld was said to be “a show about nothing”, the SmorgShow Podcast is a show about anything.
