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!  *A big thank you to Sarah for her audio clips and to Jaden for her listener shout-out!

It's Gabby Logan's summer. First there's the Euros and then the Paris Olympics are hot on their heels. Plus, she has a new book, The Midpoint Plan, out so it seemed like a fine time to revisit my conversation with her from a couple of years ago...My guest this week has hosted everything from Final Score to the Six Nations to the Olympics. Formerly an international gymnast, Gabby Logan moved into broadcasting in her early 20s and neither she – nor the male-dominated world of sports broadcasting – have looked back. Now 47, she's launched The Mid-Point, a podcast about midlife career change and becoming more comfortable in your own skin. Join us as Gabby talks resilience, reclaiming “middle age”, competitive coping, cooking for Mary Berry and why equality begins at home. Oh, and how it feels to be the Dame Judi Dench of sports broadcasting! And… There's SO MUCH more. You'll just have to listen on…* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including The Midpoint Plan by Gabby Logan and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.* If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com• And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls @ Pineapple Audio Production.

This week's episode has hints of what's to come in subsequent seasons. Lisa and Allison discuss the three finalists, and, get into the structure of season one. With only two bakers heading to what will eventually be termed the 'showstopper', the girls rehash all the final bakes and what they appreciated most about this very first season.  Lisa gives some inside info on scones as well as an update on runner-up Ruth. Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

The original pastry week gives the girls life as they rehash this episode's highs and lows. Allison highlights the seafood pie as potentially the worst pie while Lisa defends the British savory pie as a staple. Allison admits to not knowing the Cornwall pasty was British,  and, a soggy bottom drinking game is proposed.Lots of informal bakes to discuss as well as a ther challenging canapés and tartlet showstopper.The very first pastry week!Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

Lisa gets very enthusiastic about the very Britishness  of this episode. There are lots of cut- aways to Mel and Sue giving the girls lots of side stories to serve.With a signature pudding challenge, Lisa gets fired up not only about all the sticky toffee puddings,  but also the blandness of pears in Edd's walnut pear pud. Allison yawns at the lemon souffle technical, but does remind Lisa to 'figure eight' fold-in her egg whites. There's a true history lesson regarding school lunches that get Lisa sharing all the snacks she's served her students in recent years, and both girls give their review of eliminated baker David.Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/
