On your mark, get set, BAKE!

If that phrase sounds familiar–and you avoid soggy bottoms like the plague– there’s a good chance you’re already a fan of “The Great British Baking Show.”

But what is it that sets this particular show– called “The Great British Bake-Off” in the UK– apart from the American ones produced on the other side of the pond? That’s just one of the many questions we explore in this scrumptious episode! 

What caused the original hosts, Mel and Sue, and original judge Mary Berry to leave the show? What rigorous audition process do would-be contestants have to undergo in order to be selected? What interesting behind-the-scenes stories have former contestants shared? And what prize does the winning baker receive?

Be sure to join us for this fun episode where we discuss all this and more– it’ll be better than a Paul Hollywood handshake!
