Smackie’s Smile Shack

“Technically, I’m not authorized to process soul transactions without a supervisor present.”

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. :)

“I’ve absolutely no idea what’s going on, but I’m enjoying the ride… It reminds me of a darker, more twisted desert skies.
