Episode 6: With Tamal Ray from GBBO S6! | Bake Off, Undressed on Acast
Welcome to episode six of #BakeOffUndressed with Topless Baker - aka Matt Adlard! We’re recapping last nights #GBBO bakes and dramas. This week was pastry focused - sweet and savoury (bit controversial). Unfortunately for Matt, it was not Dan’s week at all and we almost had to watch him walk slowly out the door, holding back the tears (us and him)! The surge in Hollywood handshakes continued - we can’t even say anything more about that but check out this serious, investigative report from last weeks guest Scott Bryan: https://www.buzzfeed.com/scottybryan/paul-hollywood-handshakes-too-many We had the lovely Dr Tamal Ray on the show this week - Great British Bake Off season 6 runner up, TV host, Guardian columnist and actual real life doctor! He came straight from the hospital to record the pod! Dedication! Tamal gave us all loads of behind the scenes goss, insights and made us feel like WE were on bake off with his amazing stories.

Episode 2: You’ve Been Pru’d | Bake Off, Undressed on Acast
Welcome to episode two of #BakeOffUndressed with Topless Baker - aka Matt Adlard! We’re recapping last nights #GBBO bakes and dramas, and talking a whole lot about fingering your bread. This week’s show was all about cakes - from the basic traybake to Monet's birthday cake and the end showstopper featuring what actually nearly stopped the show - the great British heat wave! Terry is hanging by a thread, Manon dropped the F Bomb and Paul is dishing out handshakes like nobody's business. This week was WILD. Matt is joined by Niki and Sammy (or Sammy and Niki if we want to be controversial…). YouTubers, podcasters, lovers of K-Pop (Korean pop music to the uninitiated) and better Tweeters than Matt! These hilarious twins consistently veer off the topic at hand (baking) but boy do they have some opinions on the contestants. Because #GBBO is that time of year when we all suddenly become a baking professional and shout at the screen like we’re in an episode Hell's Kitchen … when in reality we keep our bread in the fridge (right Sammy??) Let us know YOUR Soggy Bottom moment, who would you SPOON, FORK, KNIFE and did you think Rahul deserved star baker? Use #BakeOffUndressed to join the conversation!
