AninOjuara ,

Thank you

Fantastic podcast. Not only I learn, but it is very interesting and entertaining.

Fraublucerable ,

Too many repeated episodes

I could listen to Christopher Kimball and Sara Moulton answer cooking/baking questions endlessly, however I am tired of listening to the same segments over and over again. There are plenty of episodes to pick segments from, but only a few are chosen and over used as fillers. I really enjoy this podcast but getting pretty tired of the repetitive episodes.

NJ Engineer ,

Entertaining and Informative!!

I learn a few thing each episode. Such a charming production!
