What Happened to SModcast?
SModcast began in 2007 as a pioneering podcast featuring filmmaker Kevin Smith and his longtime producing partner Scott Mosier, evolving into the SModcast Podcast Network in 2010. While the original SModcast podcast itself has become largely dormant since 2024 due to Scott Mosier's other commitments and an infrequent release schedule, the broader SModcast Network continues to host other popular podcasts and serves as a hub for Kevin Smith's various creative projects and live events as of late 2026.
Quick Answer

🔍Deep Dive Analysis
SModcast originated on February 5, 2007, as a groundbreaking weekly podcast featuring filmmaker Kevin Smith and his producing partner Scott Mosier. The show quickly gained a dedicated following for its unscripted, often humorous discussions on current events and various non-sequitur topics. Its success led to the expansion into the SModcast Podcast Network in January 2010, which became a platform for numerous other podcasts, including popular titles like 'Tell 'Em Steve-Dave!' and 'Hollywood Babble-On.'
A significant turning point for the original SModcast podcast was the increasing professional commitments of Scott Mosier. Mosier's involvement became sporadic, notably when he moved to France to work on 'The Grinch' movie, and later relocated to the Bay Area, making regular co-hosting logistically challenging due to time zone differences and work schedules. This led to Kevin Smith frequently hosting with guest co-hosts or solo, and the release schedule became increasingly infrequent. Kevin Smith's own health events, such as his massive heart attack in February 2018, also contributed to shifts in his creative output and podcasting schedule.
By the early 2020s, the original SModcast podcast's output had significantly slowed. Discussions among fans on platforms like Reddit in 2023 and 2026 indicate a widespread perception that the podcast entered a 'permanent hiatus' or effectively 'died' due to Mosier's absence and Smith's focus on other projects. The last new episode listed on major podcast platforms for 'SModcast' is a short promotional clip titled 'Meet Beardless, D*ckless Me' released on September 12, 2024, which promotes another podcast by Kevin Smith and his daughter, Harley Quinn Smith.
Despite the dormancy of the flagship podcast, the SModcast Podcast Network, under the umbrella of SModCo, remains an active entity as of September 2026. It continues to host other successful podcasts, such as 'Hollywood Babble-On' with Ralph Garman and 'Fatman Beyond' with Marc Bernardin, which regularly release new episodes and conduct live shows. Kevin Smith himself remains highly active in filmmaking (e.g., 'Clerks III'), touring with 'An Evening With Kevin Smith' Q&A sessions, and managing Smodcastle Cinemas, his movie theater in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. The network's website, smodcast.com, serves as a central hub for news, upcoming events, and links to Smith's various projects, demonstrating that while the original podcast has faded, the broader SModcast ecosystem continues to thrive as a platform for Kevin Smith's diverse creative output.
