Thunder's Mouth Theatre are delighted to present: a whole new comic drama of the audio fiction variety, to be broadcast via the podcast medium.
"Baked Off!" follows the lives of a group of would-be home-bakers based in England and Scotland, who meet up for a regular online baking class under the tutelage of a retired Australian chef in Brisbane, Australia.
Over the course of eight fully scripted (20-30 minutes) episodes, we learn about their lives, work and family relationships, as they are learning how to make sourdough bread.
Each week they strive, fail and strive better, supporting and challenging themselves and each other as their private lives take unexpected twists and turns.
The script is complete, (written by Flloyd Kennedy, writer/creator of "Am I Old Yet?"), the cast - some of them you will know from "Am I Old Yet?" - are standing by to record. All we need is your support and encouragement to provide the team with appropriate financial recompense for their amazingly talented contributions.

I've been baking, and I need someone to help me eat it (because I don't need to add any more weight to my struggling hips!). So here's a special reward for anyone local to Liverpool, or Merseyside, who is able to drop over to my house and pick up a slice of freshly baked sourdough bread, with the subtitle (Live Laugh Loaves) etched into it.
Or, include your email, and I'll send you the recipe with instructions for how I do it, my way.
Stretching and folding the dough to strengthen and empower it - or, in our case, editing, re-recording, adding and subtracting as we go to get a highly polished episode for your entertainment.
