About the Show

Bed & Butter is a podcast that will take you on a journey from food truck stars to hotel leadership and beyond. Along the way, we will introduce industry professionals’ inspiring, informative, and entertaining stories. Your host, Sean Riley, will be your guide to culinary and hospitality excellence, produced in collaboration with Southern Maine Community College. The podcast aims to showcase and educate listeners about the journey of others that can highlight opportunities for the students of SMCC’s Culinary Arts and L.Joe Van Why School of Hospitality programs and their work. The production is a labor of love for everyone involved, made possible with the help of the talented students of SMCC’s Communications and New Media Studies program.
