- Missed opportunity
I haven't listened to this show but you really missed an opportunity by not calling it the Round Table. I mean come on, it was right there.

The presenters are fine, nothing against them, but it’s just a fancy commercial.
Apple Podcasts2HerbertHoover420United States2 months ago - My love of baking has been revitalized
I discovered this podcast on our way up to Vermont a few weeks ago. I have since listened to every episode and must say Jessica and David are like my new best friends. I lived in the upper valley for a few years and took classes at King Arthur about 20 years ago. I’ve continued baking, but this podcast has really inspired me to kick it up a notch. I’d say I was King Arthur obsessed at the moment…from sourdough to cookies to pizza. I can’t wait for the new episodes to come out!
Apple Podcasts5Ninjacat76United States2 months ago - I have too much KA flour in the pantry!
Love the podcast, even if I’m always behind in listening. Just heard the bagel episode today and have to let David know that my son was once known to eat chocolate chip bagels with lox spread, so I think that tops your questionable chocolate chip bagel past!

Fun podcast! I’d love to see episodes on what the difference between different flours is (protein percentage, gluten, whole wheat, spelt etc.), and one on dairy free baking. Then it might be fun to have one on different folding, slapping and kneading techniques. Thanks for your hard work and hot takes.
