Other regular panel members include Andrew Montlake, CEO of (newly acquired) Coreco, Louisa Sedgwick, managing director of mortgages at Paragon Bank and Lea Karasavvas, managing director at Prolific Mortgage Finance.

Robyn Hall, co-founder and director of Opus First Media, the publisher of Mortgage Soup, said: “At Opus First Media, we believe in amplifying voices that matter. Supporting Mortgage Mingle aligns perfectly with our mission to foster meaningful industry conversations.

“This podcast, crafted by professionals for professionals, is more than just a dialogue—it’s a hub for insight, innovation, and connection in the mortgage world. We’re proud to champion content that drives the industry forward.”

Paul Brett added: “The response to the podcast has been nothing short of phenomenal. With each episode attracting several hundred listens and views—and some, like Peter Brodnicki’s, breaking the 1,000 mark—it’s clear that there’s an appetite for a podcast that combines substance with personality.

“With that in mind, Mortgage Soup is a logical partner for us. They set themselves apart in the mortgage journalism world by blending breaking news and serious industry insights with a touch of levity. They will also help us reach a wider audience of mortgage professionals.”
