Jerry Malauskas is our special guest host for this latest podcast installment. In this post-Valentine's Day episode, Chris talks about his experience with ordering a heart-shaped pizza from Lou Maltati's as well as a new, local restaurant establishment and their impossible-to-follow instructions for calling ahead for seating. Jerry shares a story of how he earned the 'pat-on-the back' good citizen award for rescuing a squirrel from being torn apart within the elevator shaft at the Mount Prospect Public Library. Baba Gonesh's investigative reporting exposes the India textbook industry for reporting that Japan bombed the USA in WWII (among other poorly translated historical facts)...the latest of Breaking Baba News! Finally, Gwyneth Paltrow's new candle line with a vile brand name.

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.
