Smackie's Smile Shack

Fiction EN ↓ 14 episodes

At Smackie’s Smile Shack, training never ends - and the only one qualified to lead it... is already on the tapes. This dark comedy podcast follows a lone night-shift employee stuck in an endless cycle of corporate training videos, all narrated by an eerily upbeat version of himself. Each episode introduces a new set of workplace rules, company policies, and increasingly bizarre scenarios - all under the watchful, grinning eyes of Grinny, the Shack’s ever-present mascot. It’s chipper. It’s weird. It’s definitely not OSHA-approved. Clock in. Smile big. And remember: the training never stops.
