United States6 years ago - Highly recommended to anyone who bakes bread
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.

Apple Podcasts5nycfoodluvrUnited States8 years ago - Almost
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.

United Kingdom8 years ago - In depth full of useful information
Bread , everyone has eaten it , everyone desires it even if they are avoiding carbs or “gluten intolerant “ this is an excellent place to re educate one self on true facts and knowledge about bread, wheat and other grains along with input from experts this is a gold mine of good knowledge. The listener will be guided to try making their own or perhaps seek out real bread bakers or at least know what they are reading on the labels
Apple Podcasts5*Teri*United States8 years ago - Matt Kemp
A wonderfully comprehensive series of podcasts. Well produced, well written and thought out. A must listen for anyone with even a passing interest in how Bread is made.
Apple Podcasts5John FellowsUnited Kingdom9 years ago - Pretty inconsistent
It's a great idea for a show. The production doesn't really live up to it, though. A lot of the episodes are pretty hit-or-miss, essentially a random mash-up of long interviews. It's kind of like they called up everybody they could get to talk, recorded them, and strung them together unedited as a podcast.
The content with Nathan Myhrvold himself is great, but that's just a very small portion of the podcast itself.
Apple Podcasts2HankkUnited States9 years ago - Informative
This podcast is interesting and informative and I’ve been enjoying it. But I have a couple of quibbles. First, it’s a bro-fest. The occasional female voice is drowned out by the relentless mansplaining experts. Though to be fair even some of the men get mansplained to by Nathan Myrvold. Second, bread, grain, baking exists outside the USA and little artisanal shops in Paris. How about looking at bread culture in other places?

This podcast is amazing for anyone who loves baking and/or eating bread. It's also full of some high-quality bread puns.
