Silent Bob is silent no more.

Director Kevin Smith and partner Jason Mewes, known for their roles as Jay and Silent Bob in Smith’s films, have started their own internet radio station.

Smith has been podcasting since 2007, beginning with SModcast, a talk show he started with friend and producer Scott Mosier. Over the next four years it grew into an entire network of shows, most of which feature Smith.

The most notable shows other than SModcast are “Jay and Silent Bob get Old,” which features Smith and Mewes; and “Plus One,” which features Smith and wife Jennifer Schwalbach.

Smith announced his retirement from film at this year’s Sundance, and apparently his focus has shifted to running a 24/7 Internet radio station.

SModcast Internet Radio launced May 9 and is preparing to enter its second week. Jay Mewes was extremely satisfied with the station’s first week.

“We had some glitches with calls and stuff like that, but we took a call from a soldier over in Iraq over Skype, and I’m just looking forward to talking to all kinds of people,” Mewes said.

The station currently features only four hours of live content a day, beginning with “Plus One Per Diem” with Smith and wife Schwalbach at 8 a.m. PST, followed by “Jay and Silent Bob get Jobs” immediately after. The rest of the day is a mixture of repeated material from S.I.R. and catalogue content from the SModcast network’s extensive catalogue of podcasts. However, Smith predicted in an episode of SModcast that most of the material would be live within six months.

“When I committed, I never really thought about what it would mean to be a part of something where I have to be in there to do the show everyday, but it’ll work out,” Mewes said. “It’s just a lot of fun.”
