  • Always a delight.

    Ed is a consummate podfessional. Look forward to these and Off Menu. Postscript, call me crazy but I like to watch the episode AFTER I listen to the podcast.

  • Often Outstanding

    I am a big fan of the podcast. Ed is an excellent host and I love the insights he brings to each week’s episode of Taskmaster. I love it less when he has on guests who are more about themselves than about TM. This week’s episode with Lou Sanders was a prime example. 20 minutes into the pod and they’re still talking about the prize task. There are lots of podcasts with comedians talking about themselves with other comedians. This pod is best when they talk about Taskmaster.

  • Normal Pod ❤️… People’s pod 👎

    The original podcast with Ed is fantastic! And gets 5 points in the style of the Taskmaster.

    As for the people’s podcast it’s ok, should it be posted to this feed? no. Do people want to listen to it? A few do. We need to be honest at this point Jenny was an incredible contestant, but maybe not a podcast host / regular contributor. Just looking at the statistics every episode Jenny joins Ed on the regular podcast has a huge dip in listeners. If you want additional listeners to “the people’s podc... more

  • That woman simply doesn't shut up!

    There's a serious amount of inner monologue blocking going on there. How does anyone conduct a conversation?

    That's the least I've ever heard Ed Gamble say, ever...

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Taskmaster The Podcast Rewind - Series 3 Ep3. With Katy Wix
Q: Do you think the contestants were playing to a TV-friendly spectacle or to the letter of the brief?
There was a mix, with some players leaning into spectacle and others focusing on cleverness and practicality; the show rewards both, but the best moments balance ingenuity with a narrative that makes the audience cheer for the recipient.
Taskmaster The Podcast Rewind - Series 3 Ep3. With Katy Wix
Q: What would you have done for the 20 pounds Taskmaster gift challenge?
We explored ideas like buying something practical for Greg that would still be surprising in the moment, such as a timely food delivery or a box of Greg-themed gag gifts, and considered pushing the budget with a big, unexpected item to stand out.
Taskmaster Live on Stage - Washington D.C.
Q: What about the live tapings would be most surprising to someone who has only watched the show on TV?
They mention that tapings can last two and a half hours or more, which is surprising for an audience.
Taskmaster Live on Stage - Washington D.C.
Q: Would you go to space?
Both Greg and Alex express interest in going to space.
Taskmaster The Podcast Rewind - Series 2 Ep 4. With Kerry Godliman
Q: Who do you think is going to be your biggest competition on the Champion of Champions competition?
