If you love eating or baking bread, this is a must listen!
An in depth but somehow summarized view into the world of bread as, I imagine, is explained in the printed series. Highly recommended to anyone who bakes.
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Please do season 3!
Here are the top 5 reasons why I love this podcast:
1) Informative! So much to learn about bread.
2) Hillarious-- All the bread humor you could want
3) Great guests from all areas of the bread world.
4) Well written and thurough
5) A enjoyable time for all listeners!
Loads of great information in there but let down due to poor editing. It really felt all over the place at times,
For example it takes about 18 minutes for the first episode to get going. There are too many different voices with not enough context or a clear anchor present to tie it all together. There is also way too much repetitive annoying music repeated between each segment, which is mixed too loud.
