Gin and Cake is a live-watch exploration of one of the most weirdly popular reality shows on television: The Great British Bake-Off or, as it's known to us here in the US, The Great British Baking Show. In it, generally polite people compete to bake cookies and cake while wandering around a tent on…
On today's episode, we celebrate the holidays with a special guest. It's Joël! Doris is off on a well-earned vacation, so Joël has kindly stepped in to chat about the first episode of the new GBBO Holiday Specials running on Netflix. God bless us, every one! We spend a goodly amount of time catching up, so if you're looking for show talk, skip ahead to the 13-minute mark. But then you'll miss musings about Mrs. Maisel, skin-singing, and a whole lotta mince. Why would you want that? So, grab a mulled beverage, sneak a cookie off Santa's plate, and enjoy Episode 36.

On today's episode of Gin and Cake, we start a brand new season by indulging our curiosity about GBBO's move to Channel 4. We're going to review the first non-BBC version of the show. How does it hold up? Who are these people? Where are our drinks? You can find this season on Netflix as "Season 5," which is a numbering we'll try to explain. Probably not very effectively. Along the way, we catch up with a few bits and bobs that happened during our break, laud the wonder of museums, give a gin reccy, and mention the science-based delights of tiny Japanese food. So, grab a delicious beverage, flip on the Netflix, and enjoy Episode 35. It's Gin and Cake time! Want to connect?

We're back! After a long and busy hiatus, Gin and Cake returns with a special episode--our first ever interview with a Bake Off contestant! Join us for a chat with the lovely Tom Gilliford, who nabbed our geeky baker hearts on UK Season 7 (US Season 4). In a wide-ranging interview, we peek behind the bake-off curtain, get political about privilege, destroy some benches, attend a Eurovision pajama party, and get really nerdy with D&D, health potions, and the intersectionality of dungeons and dough.

That's about 5 seconds into the show if you bought the American version from Amazon or PBS.
Gin and Cake is a live-watch exploration of one of the most weirdly popular reality shows on television: The Great British Bake-Off or, as it's known to us here in the US, The Great British Baking Show. In this episode, join us as we do a live commentary of Season One, Episode One, of the Great British Baking Show as it was shown in the US on PBS. For those outside of the US, you'll know this as Season Five of the Great British Bake Off. We know, that's totally weird, right? Well, that's how it is. It's about cake, and that should make it all better. So cue up the episode (or just listen along), mix that drink, and have a listen. It's Gin and Cake time! For those of you who are going to watch along, we'll do a little countdown to let you know when to hit play. Note that we are starting right after the PBS logo (if you see one). That's about 5 seconds into the show if you bought the American version from Amazon or stole it from Youtube.
Gin and Cake is a live-watch exploration of one of the most weirdly popular reality shows on television: The Great British Bake-Off or, as it's known to us here in the US, The Great British Baking Show. In it, generally polite people compete to bake cookies and cake while wandering around a tent on a bucolic English estate, all in pursuit of the most fabulous prize imaginable — a cake plate. Absurd? Yes! Which is probably why we, like so many millions of other people, love it. In this biweekly podcast, we will comment, question, wax rhapsodic, and speculate wildly about things we could probably know if only we weren’t too lazy to look them up on the Internet. There's also a bunch of baking trivia. And a few Star Trek references, because that's never wrong. And we’re going to do it all while sipping delicious adult beverages, and we hope you’ll join us in that, as well. So mix that drink, and have a listen as we introduce the podcast. It's Gin and Cake time!
