SMACK HOSPITALITY
MEET THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
Just like our name, everything we do here is a little different and yet you’ll probably have more fun here than elsewhere. SMACK Hospitality Media is your one-of-a-kind source for hospitality and tourism-related edutainment.
It is our mission to show that hospitality if really f*cking fun!
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 and trailblazers of the hospitality industry.
Beyond that you’ll find our other formats here, including our fan-favorites Hot in Hospitality, Dirty Laundry and Ask me Anything.
Since 2019 we chatted to hospitality nerds from all around the globe and even with season 7 there’s no end in sight.
Tune in, join the conversation and never ever lose your curiosity.
Enjoy the show!
