You are about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about what goes into making one.

I'm Sadata Sese, an assistant commissioner of podcasts for BBC Sounds.

I pull a lot of levers to support a diverse range of podcasts on all sorts of subjects,

Meanwhile, our lunch reservation goes out the window.

Well, I happen to be starving. Honestly, you'd think an extra hour in bed might have improved your mood.

An extra hour of sleep might have done, except you insisted on reading out the details of all

those Christmas cruises.

I thought you fancied the idea of the Caribbean.

I do.
