New episode on Wednesday (for real this time!) Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Hey, pots and pans! We just recorded our draft episode for Bake Off, but since Bake Off is airing on Fridays, we need to adjust our release schedule again to accommodate the time it takes to watch, score, record and edit every week. We'll be back in your feeds on Wednesday mornings, just like old times. See you soon!

No new episode this week! Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

Hi, pots and pans! Just wanted to let you know that we're taking this week off -- we were hoping to do either a talent scouting episode or the draft for Bake Off this week, but there are no bakers announced for us to talent scout or draft, and there still isn't an official release date, at least as of Thursday afternoon.

So, we'll be back soon. Thanks for your patience! We hope you're as excited for Bake Off as we are.
