- Excellent podcast
Great information about all baking topics. Both hosts know their stuff and are very funny too.
I even enjoyed podcasts about topics I don’t think I’m interested in such as pancakes.

New Zealand6 days ago - Random chatting no substance
The King Arthur youtube video on how to make sourdough bread are awesome. This podcast is not awesome and is a big disappointment. Lots of pretentious sounding idle chatter, not educational, not informative and useful. They should get a real host to provide decent content.

I love how laid back this show is, it’s my fav. Such a feel good podcast with sweet and funny moments.
Apple Podcasts5UsmcLZUnited States8 days ago - Entertaining and informative
The King Arthur hosts are quite knowledgeable and enjoyable. I love that they have guest appearances and wish the guest segments could be longer. Jess’ opinions are often provocative in the best sort of way. David also has an interesting background and between the two hosts, the podcast is one of the more interesting foodie shows.
