Babalu B-Sides: Creating the Series

May 4, 2026 · 36 min

Show notes

⚠️ Season 1 spoilers ahead. Go behind the scenes of Babalu with host Jackie Rae Aubel and the creative team: series creator Kimberly Truong, director Katharine Chen Lerner, and sound designer Charles Moody. Together, they discuss the deeply personal origins of the show, what makes audio the perfect medium for this story, and how an indie drama found its way to the top of Apple Podcasts' fiction charts.


Many thanks to Westport Studios for the production of this after show.
