Clare McDonnell is joined by Labour MP and former Violence against Women and Girls minister Jess Phillips, senior midwife Donna Ockenden who led the recent review into maternity care failings in Nottingham, and Chief Executive of the Fawcett Society Penny East.Fatboy Slim, one of the biggest DJs of the 1990s, has just finished playing four nights to appreciative crowds in his home town of Brighton. And among the crowd were a number of midlife women. More women in their forties and fifties, who are often experiencing the pressure of caring for both children and older parents, are exchanging an early night for being up raving at 4am. Clare McDonnell finds out more from Alinka Greasley, Professor of music psychology at the University of Leeds who has carried out research into women and raving and is a raver and DJ herself. How can we explore distant stars, buried water on Mars, or witness the first moments after the Big Bang? And what can we see without having to leave our back garden?

She will be appearing at the Buxton International Festival this Friday.

But with the rise in popularity of 'Snail Mail', largely driven by social media, how are women leading the charge to stay connected through post? To discuss, Clare McDonnell is joined by Great British Bake Off finalist Alice Fevronia, who set up The Artful Baker Club, and Rebecca McMillan, who co-founded The Sunday Letter Project.Presented by Clare McDonnell Producer: Louise Corley

The aprons are back on and the chaos continues as Lisa and Allison return for a second helping of Comic Relief baking antics. This follow-up special serves up everything we love about celebrity baking episodes: ambitious ideas, unpredictable execution, and the kind of joyful energy that reminds everyone not to take the crumb count too seriously.PLUS, this episode features Warwick Davis, Professor Flitwick from the Harry Potter movies. From unexpectedly impressive moments to bakes held together by optimism and icing alone, the Girls delight in the personalities, celebrate the wins, and lovingly unpack the moments that go gloriously off-script. Equal parts recap, commentary, and cozy baking chat, this episode leans into the fun while appreciating the heart behind the special.Lighthearted, warm, and generously frosted with opinions, this episode proves once again that baking for a good cause is even better when paired with laughter and a healthy tolerance for uneven layers. ✨
In this EpisodeWatch the full episode hereWe had one of our favorite return guests back on the show this week: Chetna Makan, the Great British Bake Off fan favorite turned YouTube institution (a million-plus devotees across her platforms, a decade of Food with Chetna), whose new book, Chetna's 5-Ingredient Indian, landed on American shelves the day before we recorded—which makes this, as far as we can tell, her first U.S. interview for it. Enjoy!Highlights & “Must-Listen” Moments* [00:00]—Welcome, Chetna: We open with Chetna's bio—Bake Off in 2014, a YouTube channel that's quietly become one of the most trusted resources for home Indian cooking, and book number nine (or ten, depending how you count)—before she walks us through the actual premise of Chetna's 5-Ingredient Indian: not a gimmick, but a direct answer to home cooks who assume Indian cooking requires a full spice cabinet and a free afternoon.* [02:00]—Why five ingredients, really: Chetna explains the constraint wasn't arbitrary—it came out of watching people get intimidated by long ingredient lists, and a cookbook market she felt had nothing genuinely new to say. The test case: her red kidney bean curry, stripped of the tomatoes, extra coriander, and green chili most versions lean on, while keeping onion, ginger, and garlic as the flavor spine.* [09:43]—The spice blends are the real trick: This is the section to read twice. Garam masala, chaat masala, and tandoori masala all got reverse-engineered down to five ingredients apiece—“hard work,” Chetna says, because “every spice adds a different note.” Her own invention, sabji masala (turmeric, hing, cumin, coriander, plus one more), doesn't exist anywhere in traditional Indian cooking; she built it from scratch to solve her own five-ingredient math problem. David draws the parallel to his own Portuguese red pepper paste—built for the same reason, to save people from re-assembling the same six ingredients every time they cook.* [17:36]—Atom masala and the mango pickle: A listener question about Priya Krishna's New York Times piece on recreating her family's lost “Atom Masala” leads Chetna into the one recipe she's never gotten back: her grandmother's raw mango pickle, peeled rather than skin-on, with a spice blend nobody wrote down before she died.* [19:17]—The lost-recipe roundtable: What starts as a question to Amy turns into three generations of food going extinct—Amy's grandmother's mocha and marble cakes, a neighbor's famously unshared ricotta fritters, and David's own grandmother's pink Portuguese chicken soup (the inspiration, he explains, for both his entire career in food writing and the pink shirt he happened to be wearing). Chetna's take on people who refuse to share recipes: “Just tell me when you want to eat it” is not a substitute for a recipe card.* [24:39]—Between the Slices and the new fans: Chetna explains the unexpected second life of her sandwich series—millions of views, a flood of younger viewers in India who now stop her on the street for sandwiches instead of curry. “It's slightly annoying,” she says, “that they don't stop me for my Indian food.”* [28:49]—The one onion mistake everyone makes: If you only watch one clip from this episode, make it this one. Chetna's diagnosis of what home cooks get wrong: onions that never actually get cooked. “They don't give it time to get to deep golden—it needs to be a caramel color.” David's hack for speeding that up without babysitting the pan: a splash of water and a lid, early on, to soften the onions before they caramelize.* [32:52]—Cheddar cheese in chicken tikka: Chetna didn't invent this—it's a real, if under-discussed, move in Indian home kitchens—but she's the reason a lot of us now know about it. “It's not like the ones you get in restaurants,” she says. “It adds a layer of flavor and more depth.”* [34:21]—No filters, ever: On a book built around restraint, and an Instagram presence built on #nofilter: Chetna explains why she's never retouched a filter on a food photo in her life, AI imagery be damned, and why a “proper messy plate” beats anything styled for the grid.* [36:36]—The baking digression: Five ingredients don't stretch to dessert, so we made Chetna talk about her other books—The Cardamom Trail and Chetna's Healthy Indian among them—and her habit of slipping an Indian accent into classic bakes: a cardamom, coconut, and mango cake; a black sesame and lime cake; clove, cinnamon, and chocolate cookies; and a cardamom upside-down pear cake that's apparently a fixture in her kitchen every autumn.* [40:25]—The table salt defense: Chetna's case for plain table salt over sea salt, kosher, or Himalayan, in five ingredients or fewer: consistency. She's cooked with it her whole life, trusts it enough to season by feel for four people or forty, and doesn't love the uneven crunch sea salt can leave behind in a finished dish.* [42:23]—No process, on purpose: Asked how she keeps up a decade-long YouTube channel, a stack of cookbooks, and a constant stream of social content, Chetna's answer is refreshingly anti-productivity-hack: don't overthink it. Ten years, never missed an upload, and the one time she did agonize over a post—a single steak photo—she just didn't post it.* [44:14]—The closer: what would convert a skeptic: Chicken tikka gets an honorable mention, but Chetna's real answer for the person who claims Indian food “isn't their thing” is the chana dal—split yellow peas, no spice blend required, just five ingredients and patience.Recipes Mentioned* Red Kidney Bean Curry—Chetna's five-ingredient rework of a family staple* Garam Masala, Chaat Masala, Tandoori Masala, Podi Masala, and Sabji Masala—five spice blends from 5-Ingredient Indian, each capped at five ingredients* Cheddar Cheese Chicken Tikka* Chana Dal (Split Yellow Peas)—Chetna's pick for converting Indian-food skeptics* Cardamom, Coconut, and Mango Cake* Black Sesame and Lime Cake* Clove, Cinnamon, and Chocolate Cookies* Cardamom Upside-Down Pear CakeBooks and Publications* Chetna's 5-Ingredient Indian by Chetna Makan (Hamlyn)—her newest, just released in the U.S.* The Cardamom Trail by Chetna Makan—baking with Indian flavors* Chai, Chaat & Chutney by Chetna Makan—a street-food tour of India* Chetna's Healthy Indian by Chetna MakanWhere to Find Us* Amy Traverso* Instagram | Yankee Magazine* David Leite* Instagram | Pinterest | Facebook | YouTube* Chetna Makan* Website | YouTube—Food with Chetna | Instagram This is a public episode.

Things get delightfully unhinged as Lisa and Allison dive into a Comic Relief baking special packed with big personalities, chaotic energy, and bakes that range from surprisingly impressive to gloriously questionable. With celebrities in the kitchen and good causes at the heart of the episode, this one delivers laughs almost as often as the oven disasters.The Girls savor the playful spirit of the episode, celebrating the moments where enthusiasm triumphs over technique — and lovingly calling out the creations that may have looked better in theory than in practice. Between the comedic timing, ambitious decorating choices, and inevitable baking mishaps, there's no shortage of joyful chaos to unpack.Warm, witty, and wonderfully unserious, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best baking television comes from people having fun, making a mess, and trying their absolute best anyway. So grab a treat and settle in for a special that's equal parts comedy, comfort, and buttercream.

Welcome back to the British Food History Podcast. In today's episode, I am speaking with Great British Bake Off alumnus Briony May Williams about retro foods. She's on a mission to bring back some of the foods of the 21st century that are maybe not being enjoyed as much as they should be in the 21st. I am very much in agreement with this – obvs.We talk about how Briony became interested in retro foods and historical cooking (we all have an origin story, don't we?), memories of Bake Off, puddings as comfort food, Waldorf salads, our shared appreciation of frozen peas and Kitchen Aids, plus the infamous banana candle salad.The Retro Food Society by Briony May Williams is out nowFollow Briony on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @brionymaybakesBriony's SubstackSeason 10 of the podcast is sponsored by Netherton Foundry, makers of high-quality kitchen and outdoor cookware.

Do you need some courage right now in your life? Maybe just to get out of bed? Or to go to work? Or to come home from work? As children of God, we get to rely on him to give us this strength – we also get a home advantage: other people who come alongside and say to us on a regular basis: Courage, Dear Heart! Lois encourages us to pray and focus on God's sovereignty when needing courage and hope, no matter what's happening in our lives. I'm happy to introduce you to my friend and fellow writer, Lois Flowers who wants to say to you today, “Courage, dear heart! Lois is a mom to two young adult daughters and wife to one good man. She's an author, editor and lifelong Midwesterner who values authenticity, loves gardening and is unapologetically addicted to "The Great British Bake Off." She writes often about the pain and loss of losing one's parents. Get her free resource that will be your own version of gaining courage: A 7-day devotional called Faith, Fear, and the God Who Goes Before Us. Some gems from our conversation: I've learned that God knits our families together in the most miraculous ways as we wait on him. I hope to leave a legacy of someone whose life was marked and driven by prayer. I tell my stories so that others can be encouraged by seeing themselves in some small way and be strengthened by God in the same way that he's strengthened me. I'm not a patient person but I've learned to hold things loosely while in God's waiting room. I've always typed my prayers to help me focus (and because I have terrible handwriting.) Everything is fair game when I'm praying but I wait best when I end each prayer with, "Thy will be done." God's plans and purpose are not always clear to me but Psalm 139:16b helps me trust him in the meantime: "all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Courage, dear heart! Love, Lois (and Sue!)
On the Saturday April 18, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet USA TODAY, Globe and Mail, and Toronto Star bestselling author Rick Mofina.

Choices We Made: Actress Leslie Bibb joins Sam while Mercury is fully in retrograde and they quickly agree that their shoulders only fully relax when they’re in the country despite both living in the city. They talk about being subject to the winds of planetary forces, not being gamblers (they both abide by a strict “only 20 dollars at a time” rule) because they’ve worked too hard for their money, and their shared hatred of wasting stuff including chicken carcasses. Leslie talks about how watching Bob Villa as a kid has inspired her own home renovation projects and teaching other women how to do renovation on Tik Tok and why she’s going to have spores in her sourdough that predate the country. They gush over The Great British Bake Off and agree it’s appointment television, taking cooking classes in foreign countries, people who have recipes they won’t even share with their kids, and how we can learn to disagree with our parents as they get older.

For many, “The Great British Bakeoff” is must-see TV – and watching it has taught us a lot about food. Ruby Tandoh is a journalist who was also a finalist on the show, and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how everyone is a “foodie” now, why hard-to-find ingredients are all the rage even in the Average Joe's kitchen, and how unlimited access to recipes online has made us more discerning. Her book is “All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
The internet decides what's for dinner. Ruby Tandoh is the author of the new book, All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now. A stint on the Great British Bake Off when she was in college launched her into the world of cookbooks — increasingly irrelevant in a world where we're more likely to turn to Google for a recipe than turn to our bookshelves — and provided her an education in how pop culture stokes our cravings. She takes Ben and Amory on a journey from the surprising history of AllRecipes and the "world's best lasagna," to the TikTok food trends of today. (Spoiler: they don't always taste particularly good.) Show notes: All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now Credits: This episode was produced by Grace Tatter and hosted by Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson. It was edited by Meg Cramer. Mix and sound design by Emily Jankowski.
