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!

Longtime touring musician and award-winning journalist Bob Smith (The Outdated Wrestling Hour) looks back at the music of the '60s and '70s with pronounced fondness - but he sees a bright future for the industry as new stars are rising in such genres as blues, Americana, and pop. Pete Mancini, based in the New York City area, is already quite prolific for someone so young - and he's also a singer/songwriter on the rise, with national performances and a string of albums under his belt. Together, Smith and Mancini discuss what "Americana" is (or might be), look back at the music industry and consider its future, and tackle other music topics on this wide-ranging edition of The Outdated Entertainment Hour. This is music news and views delivered in a way you'll like not hear the likes of anyplace else!

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!
