FOR the first time in years, and the last time ever, Hoge, Smyth, Cla and Dave sit down to record an episode of the podcast. The boys discuss the appeal of podcasts over radio, the value of real world versus online interaction, old friends, new vendettas, the comedy of Dave Chappelle, the Tommy Tiernan Show and some of their favourite moments from over 8 years of Hoge ‘n’ Smyth.
Listen right to the end for a final episode bonus track. Follow Cla on Twitter @jamie_cla for updates on PodClast, which should be out anytime between next week and 2025. Thanks to everyone for listening!
