Two Soggy Bottoms: The Great British Bake Off Podcast

Another absolutely huge week for gingerbread, and be sure to send your congratulations to the PR team behind it. The bakers really took the biscuit this week - most notably Pui Man from Nataliia when she ran out. It was a good episode, there was a Hollywood Handshake and we found out that someone is a quinoa swimmer. What does that mean? You'll have to listen to find out, silly.

Surprise, we're back. After a year-long hiatus to tend to important matters (investigating the Bermuda Triangle, raising a Labubu and simply going toilet), Ciara and Ciarán have returned to save the very niche market of GBBO podcasting. First up, it's cake week, and these bakers sure know how to make one. But whomst is putting adult braces on the map? Whose dog needs a paternity test? Which podcast host's drag king name is the funniest? Tune in to find out.

(To the tune of Finally by CeCe Peniston) Finally it is Bake Off's last week they all made tiered cake and this podcast describes it. (End of singing to the tune of Finally by CeCe Peniston) Three bakers, three rounds, one winner... If you don't know who it was Ciara and Ciarán will tell you, and if you do know sure listen anyway for a couple of lols and comments from friends of the show. Also if you're reading this following the prompt at the end of the episode and are wondering what secret thing we're working on we can't talk about... it's nothing. So if you have secret thing you want us to work on let us know! Thanks for listening you are our raison d'être. Kisses.

We've made it to the semi finals! And this week the bakers have to be fancy af with financiers, French apple tarts and f-puff pastry. Who will fall at the last hurdle with no chance of lifting the Bake Off trophy/cake stand? Ciara and Ciarán will tell you if you listen to their podcast! Only one episode of this podcast left, if that makes you sad please tell us, we crave your approval. Thanks! x

It's the quarter finals and things are both heating up and sufficiently cooling down in the Bake Off tent. It's Party Week, so naturally the bakers are forbidden from making beige food? Insanity. They try their hands at a nameless caterpillar cake and we learn that Prue says 'buffet' like an absolute posho. Saku's lack of presence is palpable, but it was still a decent episode. Enjoy Ciara and Ciarán's charming and hilarious recap. Tell a friend xx

Folks we've had a mare this week and had to record the podcast twice. The episode is still exceptional, but imagine how impeccable the first take was? No, even better than that! Tech issues aside, it's a sad week as we say goodbye to one of our favourite bakers of the series. Also, we witnessed one of the dumbest time constraints in a technical challenge possibly ever. We laughed, we cried, we craved a big heap of desserts. Enjoy! Also please rate us and subscribe - it'd be a nice thing to do. Love you, bye xxx

It's a tale as old as pie for bake off with a weird, unnecessarily niche week theme; Botanicals Week is here, and it's Halloween. So scary spiced buns, shocking flavour pairings and heart stopping show stoppers are the order of the day. Ciara and Ciarán tell you every thing you need to know, and some things you don't, as the bakers continue to be whittled down. Thanks for listening, force a family member or friend to listen so we can get our numbers up. Cheers xxx

As the old saying goes, don't talk to me until I've had my pastry! Thankfully, we were served it by the bucketload this week thanks to the bakers' abundance of flakey triumphs. Ciara and Ciarán were mildly appalled by some of the ingredients (cream cheese pastry, grapes in a pie?), but held it together for the sake of the award-pending podcast. There were highs (plum innuendos) and lows (plum innuendos), and overall, it was a decent week of baking. The double-elimination loomed, and so too did the mysteries of avoiding a soggy-bottomed pastry. Enjoy! Please rate and share the show, we are attention whores. Love you, bye xxx

It's the hottest day of the year aka the perfect time to put a bunch of bakers in a tent and ask them to make things with chocolate. Want a comparison to what Prue is dressed like, jokes about chocolate boxes and Saku stanning? Have I got the podcast for you, and you're probably already listening to it. Leave reviews, tell a friend and send Ciara and/or Ciarán a message about how much you enjoy the pod/them! Love you xoxo

Get your ovens ready because it's bread week and my God was it boring. Inevitably, we reached peak levels of smug Hollywood. The man very likely brought his bread knife from home, presumably engraved with PH (as he is obsessed with measuring acidity). Sometimes we need to say that enough is enough - a grown woman does not need to make a cow out of bread - she does not owe us anything. Frankly, the wrong person went home and it was an underwhelming episode of television. Luckily, the podcast is exceptional, as always. Enjoy, rate and tell a friend x
