So fun!

Thank you so much for doing the re-watch of Season 4; it was really interesting to get Howard’s insight about what happened in the tent. I love your current season reviews too!

Awesome!

Well done! This podcast is great for reliving the greatest reality show ever with some expert hosts. They have good insights. They are kind and not petty. They concentrate on the bakes, the bakers and the show. It is very well hosted and skillfully led by Josh who adeptly leads the conversation. It is so nice to hear from actual former bake off contestants and having their insights into the show and especially the baking. Thank you!
