The Bake Down - Bake Off Reviewed

This podcast is delightful! I love hearing about little behind the scenes things of the show. And I’ve truly learned a lot from listening to Jane and Howard. I do wonder if Jane can sort out her mic as sometimes she’s at an equal volume with Howard and sometimes she’s very quiet and it’s hard to hear her. Both of them are fabulous and I look forward to listening every week.

I absolutely love this podcast. Bake Off is my ultimate comfort show and this podcast only makes it that much better. I love your insight from behind the tent flap. Loving the interviews this season. Look forward to many more seasons.

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!

Listening from the US. A fun first-hand review of the latest season of the Bake Off. Thanks for your sometimes critical perspectives (eg Jane’s take on “proving”). This isn’t a breathless fan cast, but one of the best podcasts about the show. I agree that the show has changed a bit (pizza toppings or tortilla fillings vs baking). I hope Love Productions is listening in here. With Matt Lucas leaving the show I d love to see Dan take his place. I’ve often thought a former baker should be the co-host. Jane would be insightful but I’m afraid she and Paul would end up in fisticuffs! (I’d be happy to teach the panel how to make Mexican food!).

I enjoy the show but Jane just makes so many snobby comments. She picks her favorites and then decides who she doesn’t like. I’m only on their first season, but she is going on about Steph and how she didn’t get enough criticism for having gaps in her cake compared to someone else she couldn’t remember when Steph was in fact the one who got the criticism. Get your facts straight if you’re going to be rude about contestants.
