- Fantastic podcast! (Though issues with sound quality)
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've enjoyed this podcast for many years and have listened to every episode some more than once. Today's review of the new class of 2025 was the first time I had to turn it off because it was so grating and unlistenable. Btw Howard was fine. I don't mean to be unkind, but perhaps some people need to be toned down a bit and talk less while others talk more or perhaps bring in a third panelist?

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.

Given that they have (a lot of) advertising and are getting paid for their classes there’s zero reason for Jane and Howard having such terrible audio quality. Harold has a mic but it’s terrible; it sounds like Jane is speaking in the vicinity of a cheap laptop. Echo and more quiet than anyone else. The host clearly has a proper mic so the levels are all off. The bakers have insider knowledge but are far too deferential and polite about the Prue and Paul. The amount of times Jane complains about ... more
