Can you believe 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the greatest comedy team in film history, The Three Stooges? For decades, the members of this slapstick trio - who could ever forget Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, and "Curly" Joe DeRita - have entertained fans of all ages, from the height of vaudeville all the way through the digital age. Longtime entertainment scribe Bob Smith returns with a new show detailing an article he wrote some years ago about the Stooge's video output that was, in reality, a love letter to the famed comics. Now, Smith brings back that article - and also brings you news on new (and free!) ways to watch the Stooges on streaming video as well as on a brand new box set of discs that serious fans will want to get ahold of. So watch out for flying pies, wise guys, and Larry Fine as we take a deep dive into the very best of The Three Stooges!

The concept behind all shows from Bob Smith Podcasts is to offer loving, appreciative looks back at stars we all enjoyed so well as we were growing up - and in this case, this new podcast featuring Smith is a tribute to the glory years of the Canadian supergroup The Guess Who on RCA Records. You'll hear about the group's vast canon from "These Eyes" to "Power In the Music"; the band's stars in Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman, Domenic Troiano, Garry Peterson, and all the other great players that produced 14 Top 40 hits in the US. Our guest is Mark Doble, the co-author of "Domenic Troiano: His Life In Music," who has spent much time as both a GW fan and a writer covering them. It's a fitting tribute to a classic band that's made headlines of late - but we'd rather concentrate on what made them great!
