A platform for positivity. Raising voices.
The show: Conversations with interesting guests providing value. Subjects include wellness, mindfulness, health, exercise, nutrition, science, creativity, responsible business, non-profit organizations and charities. Expect intellectual honesty, curiosity, awareness, positivity and other novelties.
The host: Jay Smack is a voiceover artist, producer, sound designer, post-production mixer, musician, radio dj, podcaster and podcast producer/educator trying to have positive, interesting and occasionally enlightening conversations with people smarter than he is. The idea for the show was born out of frustration at seeing how much negativity was being circulated intentionally on social and mainstream media. The Good Eye Podcast is intended to be a positive voice. Nothing more.
Jay also loves to cycle and participates in a number of fundraising rides for organizations like the National MS Society, the Forward Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Hospital and others. His band, the Voodoo Fishermen, play music that has been described as “Talking Heads meets Zappa”. If only.
Feedback, guest ideas, topic ideas and event ideas are always welcome.
