Wondery, the world’s largest independent podcast producer, has launched a new show titled “The Daily Smile.” The program aims to balance out the barrage of negative news by providing feel-good stories from around the world.
According to the Harvard Business Review, individuals are 27 percent more likely to report having a bad day within six to eight hours after engaging in negative news stories, while 88 percent are more likely to report having a good day within six to eight hours after listening to a transformative story.
“The Daily Smile” is a daily podcast hosted by Nikki Boyer that showcases the triumphs and uplifting stories in the world. The show explores carefully curated stories, such as the quarantine love story where a young man in Brooklyn used a drone, a bubble and some inventiveness to start dating a neighbor; or the inspiring group of elderly women in the UK who came together during quarantine and created their very own version of “The Golden Girls.”
Marshall Lewy, Wondery’s Chief Content Officer noted, “At Wondery, we create shows that get listeners immersed in a story—and with ‘The Daily Smile,’ we want listeners to start their day with a positive one. Nikki brings humor and positive energy to ‘The Daily Smile,’ and working with her again gives us the opportunity to bring our listeners joy on a daily basis.”
With interviews, inspiring clips and chats with truly special guests, “The Daily Smile” takes you on a journey into goodness that will leave you with, yes, a smile on your face. New episodes are posted every weekday morning.
Nikki Boyer, host of Wondery’s “Dying for Sex,” is a vibrant comedic personality and three-time Emmy award-winning TV personality. As host of Yahoo’s “Daytime in No Time,” Boyer became the most-watched woman on the web, garnering over 700 million clicks. She recently guest-starred on TBS’s “Angie Tribeca” and the Netflix revival of “Gilmore Girls.”
Boyer had this to say of her new program: “I love the idea that ‘The Daily Smile’ has one clear intention —to bring additional joy to the world. We want to help spread some goodness, one feel-good story at a time.”
