What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I discovered this podcast on our way up to Vermont a few weeks ago. I have since listened to every episode and must say Jessica and David are like my new best friends. I lived in the upper valley for a few years and took classes at King Arthur about 20 years ago. I’ve continued baking, but this podcast has really inspired me to kick it up a notch. I’d say I was King Arthur obsessed at the moment…from sourdough to cookies to pizza. I can’t wait for the new episodes to come out!

Fun podcast! I’d love to see episodes on what the difference between different flours is (protein percentage, gluten, whole wheat, spelt etc.), and one on dairy free baking. Then it might be fun to have one on different folding, slapping and kneading techniques. Thanks for your hard work and hot takes.

BackcountryHerbalist · Jul 2026

I have learned a ton of interesting stuff on this podcast, including how bakers who do this for a living think about both their professional and personal baking- and what they consider for both. It’s awesome. With one exception: if you also garden or farmers market well, and are kitchen capable- yes- make your own pumpkin purées. Mine is far superior to canned. It can be done better every time with properly oven roasted pie pumpkin.

I can't believe I only just discovered this podcast! I've been binging it over the last week or two, and not only do I learn something useful in every episode, Jessica and David are so funny that y'all regularly have me laughing to myself at the gym while I'm trying to lift weights, which probably looks pretty silly. But I'm hooked and can't wait to hear more!
