Extra Butter Episode 4 Transcript

Corinne

Today is a really special episode of Extra Butter because we are celebrating three years of Burnt Toast. Virginia, can you believe it has been three years?

Virginia

It feels like it’s been forever and also no, not at all. It’s wild.

Corinne

How are you celebrating?

Virginia

Probably buy a plant.

Corinne

Oh, yeah. I was going to say brownies. Or cake.

Virginia

Oh, I should see if my mom wants to make me a butter cake!

Corinne

Oh my God. Yes!

Virginia

For people that don’t know, my mother is an amazing cake baker, and we have a family tradition where she takes requests to make elaborate cakes for many occasions, including the dumpling cake she just made for my sister’s baby shower.

Corinne

It was extremely cute.

Virginia

Yeah, so three years is very cool and weird. We have definitely grown in ways I could not have predicted when I decided I was going to turn on paid subscribers. We had 700 people on the list. Now there are over 54,000. I have to not think about the numbers too much sometimes. It’s a big stage.

But it’s it’s exciting! And I’m excited to dish a little today about how we make it happen. So we’re going to talk about how the podcast is made, we’re going to reflect a little bit on where we started, where we’ve come from, the journey of Burnt Toast. And we’re going to talk a little bit about the recent New York Times profile.
