Welcome to the Women’s Running podcast: a very special Bake Off edition. We’re your hosts, Esther Newman and Holly Taylor, and usually you can find us chatting about life and running – though, let’s be honest, it’s mostly the life bit. Every year we get terribly overexcited for the Great British Bake Off and discuss it at length on the pod. So here we are, turning it into its own spin off so we can dissect each episode properly. We’ll be chatting about all the highs and lows from the Bake Off tent, playing total favourites and slagging off bakes we could never dream of producing ourselves. Whether you run while you listen, bake while you listen, or neither – enjoy this extra little morsel!
SPOILER ALERT: Of course, this episode is chock full of spoilers. What did you expect? Go and watch this week's episode before listening!
As we draw close to the quarter final, the bakers take on classic puds – though Holly and Esther aren’t too over excited by the wobblier options.
Esther’s not too pleased with Dan’s Thai take on a crème caramel, while Holly reckons she’d give it a try. We discuss horrible hot dogs and whether you can make sourdough out of anything.
Well, this was a turn up for the books. We’ve got some choice words for Paul Hollywood here, as we argue that the bakers may have been set up to fail with this particular challenge. Consider yourself roasted, PAUL.
After another slightly lacklustre challenge that we’re not totally sold on, we mourn the loss of a podcast fave and the quarter finalists are revealed…
