MEET THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.
Welcome to SMACK Hospitality Media.
Just like our name, everything we do here is a little different and yet you’ll probably have more fun here than elsewhere. SMACK is a one-of-a-kind hospitality entertainment format with the goal of providing hospitality related content in modern media formats.
Amongst other things we run a hospitality podcast, with which we aim to give everybody around the world the chance to meet key decision makers of the hospitality industry. Chasing that ambitious goal, our hospitality podcast airs twice a month between September and July.
Beyond that you’ll find our other formats here, including our fan-favourites humans of hospitality and Ask me anything. When we embarked on our mission with SMACK at the end of 2019 we had no clue where this journey might lead us – and to this day we still don’t.
So join us, tune in and never ever lose your curiosity.
Enjoy the show!
– The team
DISCOVER MORE HOSPITALITY STORIES:
Beyond the podcast itself, we started to add some new projects to our portfolio, to tell even more stories from within the industry. Stay tuned for everything new that is to come and as always: enjoy the show!
Ask me anything introduces you to your favorite hospitality decision makers in a way that you probably have never met them before. Short questions, quick answers lead to fun and unscripted conversations.
Humans of Hospitality aims to capture moving stories and moments from within our industry. Hospitality is colorful and what drives us all most are the people we meet and the stories we share and experience.
SMACK’s hospitality podcast is geared towards introducing key decision makers of the industry to every corner of the world. Nothing on this hospitality podcast is scripted, so join us in listening to genuine talks.
