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, ...
Kayla and Liz and basement banter are back with an episode of 20/20 this week. Explosive Secrets covers the case of Gary Triano’s death. It’s thorough, but Kayla and Liz still have questions… mostly about why they don’t have wealthy husbands. Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.

Spoiler (for your wellbeing): This episode includes mention of sexual assault. It is not detailed or graphic, but if that is a topic you don't want to engage with, skip this one. Kayla and Liz are back at it with The Menendez Brothers on Netflix this week. This case is a heavy one, but they dig in to the main points of the case before contemplating how they hope things would be different if this case were in 2025 instead of 1989. Also, they realize how weird and gross the media was in t...
Kayla and Liz take a break from murder to discuss the Netflix documentary, Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. Catfishing cases are Liz's contemporary true crime fascination. They cover it all: Why do people catfish? How do people get away with catfishing for so long? Is catfishing a crime? Who is the victim? Do these people have jobs? Can you graduate from witness protection? What's the time difference between London and New York? Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Fol...
This week, Kayla and Liz follow the investigation of the BTK killer from the Netflix show, Catching Killers. BTK is one of the first true crime stories Kayla remembers being interested in. Catching Killers focuses on the process of investigation, not on the crime, criminals, or victims. It's the procedural side of true crime and gives a different perspective to the case. Because of how BTK was caught, Kayla and Liz also end up wondering where their cells are and if they agreed to them being t...
Kayla and Liz are back for season 2! There is no GBBS to watch, so they are in the "assault" realm of Assault & Bakery. This season starts with an episode of Unsolved Mysteries, a show from Liz's childhood that contributed to her true crime love in adulthood. Not to ruin it for you, but they do not solve the mystery of Amanda Antoni's death during the episode, but the details of this case are curious and haunting. Kayla and Liz also ponder how one could move through life not thinking the ...
Kayla and Liz wrap up their Series 15 coverage with a look back at things they said earlier in the season. What did they get wrong? What did they get right? What did they learn and plan to implement for guessing in Series 16? And most importantly - Who won Fantasy Bake-Off?! New (crime-y) episodes coming in 2025! Feedback? Comments?
