This week we’re flipping the mic around. No guests, no script—just the Rippl Media team talking about what it takes to make Bacon Butty. Recorded late one night with drinks flowing and deadlines looming, this honest conversation features host Daniel Todd with co-founders of Rippl Media: Karli Mitchell, Helen Lea Wall, and Sofia Wenborn. Together, they reflect on the chaos, creativity, and compromises that have shaped the first season of Bacon Butty.

From overcooked intros and last-minute interviews to a slow realisation that they might actually be onto something, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how a national food podcast really gets made. If you’re curious about how Rippl works—or what it feels like to chase a vision before you have the budget, team, or time—this one’s for you.

You’ll hear:
