The finale made it final for Series 16! Kayla and Liz discuss the outcome and reflect on the season as a whole. The is talk of accurate and failed predictions, the judges’ inconsistency, and overall satisfaction. Thank you for listening to Series 16! Thank you for playing Fantasy Bake-Off (if you did)! The “Assault” portion of the show will be back in 2026. Signature: Finger Buns Technical: Madeline Tower Show-Stopper: Table Cake Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizp...
The Patisserie semi-final really made the bakers show their stuff. Stuff was indeed shown! Tune in to learn how many pounds are in 12 kilograms, the truth about bay leaves, and what the least desirable finale outcome would be for Kayla and Liz.

The quarter-final Dessert Week is here! Kayla and Liz talked bakes and bantered about Aaron’s reputation, Jasmine’s free time, and strategies going forward for Fantasy Bake-Off.

Put on your dancing shoes! It was Meringue Week — with a tiny bit of time travel back to Pastry Week to revisit some important oversights. Though it was the first ever Meringue Week, one baker also time-traveled for Show Stopper inspiration. It was also the first time Paul Hollywood gave a left-handed handshake. And the first time Kayla and Liz stayed 100% focused on the content of the episode. (No.) Signature: Mini Meringue Pies Technical: Raspberry Soufflé Show-Stopper: Vacherin...
Have you ever recorded your podcast and then realize you didn’t mention some pretty significant details? That’s Kayla and Liz this week. There’s just a lot happening outside the podcast that had them distracted. They plan to do their own version of “extra slice” this week so stay tuned for the (somewhat essential) extra content. And in the meantime, enjoy what they managed to remember to talk about! Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram at assault.a...
“We recorded then ate seven bars of chocolate. We declared Prue Leith should be a bigger artist.” “We’re dressed in sweats. From head to toe. We got hot takes hidden under our microphone.” Get it? It was Chocolate Week! And Kayla and Liz like Taylor Swift! And no one reads episode descriptions! Enjoy!

Back to school, back to school, to prove to Paul and Prue the Bakers are not fools. There was a lot of "that must be the British version of [insert American thing here]" this week, which was fun for Kayla and Liz and less fun for the Baker who isn't from the UK. Put on your thinking hat and listening ears and enjoy! Signature: Flapjacks Technical: School Cake Show-Stopper: School Fete Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.

Kayla and Liz got this bread - in a non-financial way, of course. But this episode is a couple days early so they are getting after it! The Bakers really leavened up this week. (Are you groaning?) This week featured balls, holes, and magic tricks which really push the family-friendliness of the show. But it caused many a wee giggle. Enjoy!

It was... Biscuit Week! (Did you read that in Kayla and Liz's voices? You should. Try it!) The Bakers' skills and personalities are shining like a perfect mirror glaze after a bit of a nervous start to Series 16. Bakers seem to rise and fall between each challenge, making Fantasy Bake-Off particularly fun this year. Kayla and Liz discuss rock painting (with an impressively minimal amount of squealing on Liz's part), dogs eating drugs, and the cultural differences between America and the UK wh...
Spoiler-not-spoiler: Kayla and Liz are back! With actual baking activity to talk about instead of wild speculating! But don't worry, there's also plenty of wild speculating. The conversation meanders from Signature discussions of Michelin Stars (and tires) to the Show-Stopper and Bob Ross the drill sergeant and everything in between. (The Technical. The Technical is what is in between those things.) Signature: Swiss Roll Technical: Fondant Fancy Show-Stopper: Landscape Cake Feedba...
Kayla and Liz are here to do some WHYLD speculating about the Series 16 bakers. They are a hard bunch to get a read on, so it's a particularly banter-y episode. (If you're not here for the banter, why are you here?) They discuss which bakers look like bartenders and baristas, which bakers seem like they'd be a fun hang, and which bakers they think will give someone a haircut in the tent this season. Fantasy Bake-Off is returning too! Get in on the action! Feedback? Comments? Email...
Kayla and Liz return with the second summer break episode on HBO’s Devil In The Ozarks. This case is sorta local, but also has recent developments not covered in the show because they happened after it was released. Kayla and Liz are again amazed by the details survivors can recall, encourage you to shut your mouth and lawyer up, and talk about their favorite northern Arkansas businesses. Enjoy! Feedback?

Kayla and Liz are back for a mini-summer-season with some more true crime tales before Bake-Off returns in the fall. For this episode, they revisit a favorite of Liz’s: American Nightmare on Netflix. It’s a crazy home invasion and kidnapping story with media and police skepticism to complicate things. Watch it. Listen to this episode. Then watch the movie Gone Girl just to see how wrong that association is. Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram at a...
It's the final episode of season two and Kayla and Liz are ending with another local-ish story. Set in nearby-ish New Florence, they discuss the story of reptile expert and enthusiast Ben Renick's murder. The case brings up questions they hadn't previously discussed about polygraphs, committing murder together, state troopers investigating murders, sun sneezing, and of course - asparagus pee. Be sure to follow @assault.and.bakery.pod on Instagram for information about upcoming episodes....
Kayla and Liz cover the 20/20 episode Meet The Other Me. It is the story of Shawn Grate, a modern-day serial killer from Ashland, OH. The detective on this case is a major badass and wrote a book on this investigation. Kayla and Liz are a bit smitten to say the least. Liz also learns what an electric nap is and they share some of their least favorite words. Gagging ensues. And laughing — the loud kind. Trigger warning: M**st is said in this episode. Feedback?

Kayla and Liz (AKA: Columbia’s phinest) did a last minute switcheroo and watched Before Daylight. (Snake Farm coverage is coming. Probably.) Before Daylight is the case of the murder of Jesse Valencia. It’s memorable as a hometown murder for Kayla and Liz (though neither lived in Columbia in 2004) and because a local police officer is convicted for Jesse’s murder — twice. Enjoy this day-off, over-caffeinated conversation! Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Follow us on...
Kayla and Liz are off the scam crime train and back on the violent crime train with this week's episode. It's the case of Brad McGarry's murder which initially appears to officers as a robbery gone wrong, but there's more to it. This episode gets into 911 practices (again), Kayla's ability to spot a fraud/Liz's inability to do so, and more hot takes on the American justice system's lack of rehabilitative practices. Feedback?

Part 2 of Scamanda comes to you in 2 parts. (You'll understand when you listen.) Kayla and Liz recap episodes 3 and 4 of the Scamanda series on Hulu which includes conversations with a childhood friend of Amanda's, a psychologist, and an IRS agent. What a line-up! Kayla and Liz talk about the raid of Amanda's home, her sentencing, and speculate how we'll look back on this case in 20 years. Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.

Kayla and Liz recount episodes 1 and 2 of the Hulu series, Scamanda. If you are unfamiliar, Scamanda is the story of con-artist and scammer extraordinaire, Amanda Riley. The first episode of the show establish Amanda's history and character. Episode 2 digs into the investigation and why people have suspicions about her. Among discussions of these details, Kayla and Liz also discuss how difficult it would be for them to pee their pants. It's relevant. Feedback? Comments? Email us at kayl...
Kayla and Liz recount the beautiful prison love story of Vicki White and Casey White as told by Netflix's Jailbreak: Love on the Run. It was beautiful love story, until it became a criminal love story, and then it got even messier. Kayla gives some notes on how she would have done this differently. They both agree that a 6'9" prisoner is unlikely to be the man of their dreams. Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram at assault.and.bakery.pod. Rate, ...
