The Pepper & Me Podcast!
Join Cherie, Lorne and Cam as they fumble their way through building some of New Zealand’s favourite food brands.
Around the dinner table, they unpack the weekly wins, losses and everything in between, from what they’re eating and what’s happening across the businesses to sibling rivalry, lessons learned and plenty of general banter.
We’re inviting you along for the journey, alongside other like-minded founders, businesses and people figuring it out as they go.
Good food, honest conversations, plenty of laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes
This week around the table, things go everywhere.
We’re talking reheated long blacks, Japanese knife makers, the return of Secret Weapon, what’s coming in the Pepper & Me summer range, and whether AI is making life easier or slowly taking over the world.
There’s also bacon buddies, the surprising versatility of a good sausage, dangerously buttery salt bread, steak-ordering regrets, Bali plans, and a sneak peek at the upcoming New Zealand Favourite Flavours Tour.

The Birthday Hangover
After a massive month celebrating 10 years of Pepper & Me, we’re back around the dinner table and feeling the birthday hangover.
We debrief the chaos of book launches, awards, photoshoots and taking on far too much, before getting into this year’s slightly controversial Advent Calendar plan, upcoming travel, winter hibernation and the usual completely unnecessary rabbit holes.
There’s Founder of the Year, Advent drama, AI conspiracies and an alarming amount of RatTok.
Just another normal catch-up around the dinner table.
