The SmorgShow Podcast crew is devastated and heartbroken over the recent passing of our brother and co-founder of the Chris and Dave Smorgasbord radio show, Dave Jackson. We took some time away these past couple of months to grieve the loss of our dear friend, but now we are back to present this loving tribute to Dave. Our show never would have been what it was without the creative collaboration and contributions that Dave made to it over the years. In this episode we reflect on some of our best memories of Dave, and bring back some of our favorite episode clips of him.

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.
