- Excellent but for one thing….
Jessica and David, why is your podcast so short? You enthrall the listeners with great advice and compelling guests. You make us laugh and think. And then like 37-42 mins later is over?! Come on! I could listen to you for hours. Please make longer podcasts. We all want more of you.

I want to love this podcast, but Jessica is really cringe and annoying, and I don’t really care about her opinions
Apple Podcasts2gonegirlwaitnoUnited Statesa month ago - Amazing podcast! Make a recipe development episode!
Every Monday I get so excited when this comes out. Please make an episode about triple development since that’s something that is so helpful and there aren’t many King Arthur baking blogs about! Thanks!
Apple Podcasts5CookieAndChallahBakerUnited Statesa month ago - Keep It Up!
Fun podcast! I really enjoy listening and getting inspired to bake and discover new recipes. Only one minor comment-the beep sound you use for the Ask the Baker segment is loud and shrill. I have the volume up to hear you speak, but then the beep sound is just too much. Please consider changing this tone to something more pleasing. Thanks!
Apple Podcasts5JanetS77United Statesa month ago - So much good info
I look forward to this podcast. It has never failed to be very interesting and informative AND entertaining. I’ve been baking for 60 years and have learned a lot
