The Sausage Factory is an interview-based podcast that lifts the lid on the makers of video games. It is often said by video game developers that the act of making games is not as nearly as interesting as actually playing them. So much so that many even liken it to a sausage factory in that while sausages are great, the act of making them is something no one should ever bear witness to. The Sausage Factory podcast aims to disprove this view by bringing the video game audience to the creators of the titles they love to play by interviewing developers. Split into two halves, the first delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing. The second half covers what game they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game in full undiluted detail then you have found the right podcast.

The Sausage Factory Episode 230: Unbound Creations
Show host and producer Chris O'Regan talks to Jakub Kasztalski, the Lead Developer and Writer for Headliner: NoviNews about its design and development.
Social engineering by the media is a well known phenomena, but not the typical subject for a videogame. Unbound Creations care little for convention as they set about creating Headliner: NoviNews, a game that attempts to model the complexity of an all encompassing media and the impact it has on society.
Music credit goes to Anttis Instrumentals for the soundtrack of this episode of The Sausage Factory.
