The Burger Files from Wendy’s: True Crime & Creativity in Podcasting

Burgers and podcasts have one thing in common.  Too many are made with low-quality ingredients and a mediocre recipe.  

No more. Fresh Air takes you behind the scenes to reveal the craft and the skill it takes to produce a brilliantly creative branded podcast series. About Burgers. And Crime. Burger Crime.  

We will re-open The Burger Files to conduct a live investigation with VML into how – and why - we worked with Wendy’s to create the very first true (burger) crime podcast.  

We'll explore how we assembled a specialist team of the UK's finest comedy writing, production and acting talent to create this podcasting first, sharing the top-quality ingredients and superior recipe to our secret sauce. So you can do the same thing.
