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 Humans of Hospitality, Dirty Laundry, Ask me Anything and the latest addition to the family, Breaktime.
Since 2019 we chatted to hospitality nerds from all around the globe and even after 6 seasons there’s no end in sight.
Tune in, join the conversation and never ever lose your curiosity.
Enjoy the show!
