Podcast appearances and mentions of Prue Leith

Dame Prue Leith has written more than a dozen cookery books, seven novels, and her new memoir - "Being Old...and learning to love it!" - she explores the trials and taboos of growing older.She's no stranger to a kitchen disco with her roles on the Great British Menu and Bake Off - but has always been too afraid to sing.That is until an appearance on ITV's hit show, The Masked Singer.Let's see if her Inheritance Tracks can cook up a storm.Inherited: The Ugly Duckling by Danny Kaye Passing on: Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' by Gordon MacRae (The Masked Singer, Bandicoot Productions, ITV)Producer: Ben Mitchell

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.

Prue Leith may be best known as a judge on The Great British Bake Off, but her influence reaches far beyond television. She founded a leading cookery school, built a Michelin-starred restaurant, spent decades shaping national policy on food education and public health, and has written extensively on ageing. This year she also served as a judge for The British Book Awards.In this episode of Ways to Change the World, she speaks to Krishnan Guru-Murthy, reflecting on her latest new book ‘Being Old… and Learning to Love It!' and talks frankly about growing older, staying relevant, finding happiness, and why she believes ageing can be liberating. Prue also discusses childhood nutrition, school food, her campaigns with Jamie Oliver, weight-loss injections, why she refuses to exercise, and the realities of caring for a parent with dementia.This conversation includes discussion around suicide.

In this week's podcast, the panel unpacks Tim Shipman's explosive cover story, including a leaked message suggesting just how closely Starmer backed Mandelson's appointment from the start – and why the Prime Minister is now struggling to shift responsibility as the fallout grows.Host Lara Prendergast is joined by William Moore, historian Peter Frankopan and Prue Leith to assess whether this is a moment of real political danger for Starmer – or simply another Westminster storm. As comparisons with Boris Johnson mount, they ask whether Labour's internal critics will act, what alternatives (if any) exist, and why the deeper problem may be a striking lack of talent across British politics.Also on the episode: could Reform capitalise on voter frustration – and are Britain's insurgent parties ready for power? What should we expect from Donald Trump's looming state visit – and why the monarchy may matter more than Downing Street in managing him? Plus, is the American Dream fading, or simply evolving under economic strain?And finally: from overlooked women at Nuremberg to the cultural stigma around ageing, the panel explores how history is written – and who gets written out of it.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

Things get extra sweet (and delightfully unpredictable) as Lisa and Allison turn their attention to the world of junior bakers in this charming Kids Bake Off–inspired episode. With smaller hands and big imaginations at work, the stakes may be lower — but the creativity is sky-high.Lisa and Allison revel in the joyful chaos that only kid-led baking can deliver, from wildly ambitious ideas to decorating choices that follow absolutely no rules (and that's exactly the point). There's plenty of laughter, aww-worthy moments, and genuine admiration for the confidence and creativity these young bakers bring to the table.Lighthearted, heartwarming, and just a little bit chaotic, this episode is a reminder that baking is supposed to be fun — even if it gets messy along the way. So grab a sprinkle-covered treat and settle in for an episode that's as wholesome as it is entertaining.

According to Great British Bake Off judge and national treasure Prue Leith the secret to a happy life lies in embracing everyday with joy while accepting our inevitable end. Prue has had an exhilarating career. She has been a Michelin-starred restaurateur, author, broadcaster, and beloved Bake Off judge. Yet her passion for life has also been shaped by the loss of her brother and first husband. These experiences inspired her to become a leading campaigner for assisted dying in the UK. In February 2026 Prue joined Intelligence Squared live at the Royal Geographical Society to reflect on her remarkable life and share insights from her new memoir Being Old … and Learning to Love It! Expect reflections on love, ageing, joy, and grief — from strutting the catwalk and finding love again in her seventies, to facing life's hardest goodbyes with humour and grace.

February gets a playful, slightly spooky spin as Lisa and Allison welcome a very special guest — Lisa's mom, Martha— for this Frightening February Special. With Martha in the mix, the episode brings an extra helping of warmth, wit, and just enough motherly perspective to keep the scares charming instead of chilling.Together, they dig into bakes that aim to startle, surprise, and maybe wobble a little under pressure. From bold flavor swings to decorative risks that toe the line between festive and frightful, the trio savor the creativity, clock the near-misses, and share plenty of laughter along the way.It's spooky in theme but cozy at heart — a multigenerational baking chat filled with playful critique, sweet nostalgia, and the kind of joyful chaos that makes themed episodes so much fun. So grab something chocolatey, lean into the drama, and enjoy a February special that proves baking is better when family joins the table.

In this heartfelt special edition episode, Lisa and Allison raise a (theoretical) glass to Prue as they reflect on her legacy, charm, and deliciously sharp judging eye. Equal parts celebration and gentle send-off, the Girls revisit what made Prue such a beloved presence in the Bake Off universe — her warmth, her wisdom, and her unapologetic love of good food.With their signature mix of humor and affection, Lisa and Allison reminisce about standout Prue moments, memorable bakes, and the way she shaped the tent's tone over the years. There are laughs, a few sentimental beats, and plenty of playful “armchair judging” along the way.Cozy, conversational, and just a little bittersweet, this episode feels like a proper farewell tea: sweet, thoughtful, and sprinkled with gratitude — plus a generous dollop of butter for good measure.

Pantry doughs come up in conversation as the girls discuss the importance of having a go-to pastry base, and they both agree: fruit tarts are white chocolate's best friend.The fondue showstopper brings on a flurry of chocolate fountain chatter (cue the fondue puns), and the girls wrap things up with high praise for Alison Hammond, who continues to shine as a delightful partner for Noel.Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/
