SModcast is a weekly podcast featuring filmmaker Kevin Smith and his long time producer partner Scott Mosier, although guests occasionally feature. Released each Sunday night/Monday morning, the episodes are generally one hour in length and feature Smith and Mosier discussing current events and other non-sequitur topics.

The name was derived from taking the first letters of "Smith" and "Mosier" and replacing the "P" in "Podcast". The podcast was originally distributed through Smith's entertainment website Quick Stop Entertainment. New episodes where made available for download each Sunday night or Monday morning, and are then released through the RSS feed the following Friday in order to ease bandwidth strains on the Quickstop Entertainment. On January 1, 2010, the host site was sold and the SModcasts were removed and a dedicated site was started. In addition, the one week delay for iTunes subscribers was dropped starting with SModcast 101.

In September 2009, a transcription of Smith's favorite SModcast's called "Shootin' the Sh*t with Kevin Smith" was released.

In March 2010, SModcast signed Fleshlight as a sponsor.

In September 2010, SModcast officially began playing on SiriusXM's "The Virus" channel, alongside Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez. In addition to replaying the latest SModcast every week, it will feature a unique SModcast once a month exclusive to the channel and will be unavailable online.

SModcast Guests

While the show is primarily hosted by Smith and Mosier, there have been several occasions when Mosier was unable to record, and his place was filled by one or more guests, though sometimes guests appear with Smith and Mosier.

SModcast Podcast Network

Current podcasts

Since SModcast had become so successful, Kevin Smith invited some of his former guest hosts on SModcasts to create their own podcasts. There are currently seven "spin-offs" of SModcast, which are found on the SModcast website, and are part of the SModcast Podcast network.

• Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! is hosted by "Steve-Dave" Bryan Johnson and "Fanboy" Walt Flanagan, and also features Brian Quinn, the "dubious tech guy" who runs the sound board. The title refers to the characters Johnson and Flanagan played in many Kevin Smith films. Johnson played Steve-Dave and Flanagan played Fanboy who yelled "Tell 'em, Steve-Dave!" in Mallrats. The podcast comes out on Fridays.
• Highlands: A Peephole History is hosted by Kevin Smith with rotating co-hosts such as: Bryan Johnson, Walt Flanagan, Kevin's mother Grace, brother Donald and sister Virginia. Jason Mewes has appeared on several episodes and is the co-host of Highlands 3D, the live show, hosted at SModcastle. It originally began as a subsidiary to SModcast show but has since been given its own page on the website for the SModcast Podcast Network. It features the hosts talking about their youth growing up in Highlands, New Jersey. The podcast comes out on Saturday.
• Malcolm Ingram: Blow Hard is hosted by Malcolm Ingram and Kevin Smith. The podcast is recorded at SModcastle. The podcast comes out on Wednesday.
• Jay & Silent Bob Get Old is hosted by Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. It features the two hosts talking about various experiences that they've had together during their twenty-plus year friendship. The podcast is recorded at SModcastle. The podcast comes out on Thursdays.
