  • 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.

Joel Dommett - Series 22 Ep.9
Q: Would you have gone for a pun angle here?
Dommett says he might have been drawn to a pun, but he liked Chloe Petts's printer idea. He observes that broad prize-task categories can make contestants overthink their choices.
Joanna Page - Series 22 Ep.8
Q: How on earth would you handle that box?
Page says the measurement-machine task would have baffled her. She would likely have rushed in without planning, while Gamble explains how contestants could control the total by using the mass setting strategically.
Joanna Page - Series 22 Ep.8
Q: Are you enjoying the series so far?
Page says she initially struggled to watch because she felt attached to her own cast, but has since come to enjoy the new contestants and their contrasting personalities.
Lou Sanders - Series 22 Ep.3
Q: Any predictions, Lou, as to who might win?
Lou thinks Chloe could win because she is competitive, though she also considers Nina a strong contender. Ed adds that Matt remains in contention.
Lou Sanders - Series 22 Ep.3
Q: Did you enjoy the episode that you watched?
Lou says she enjoyed it, praising the entertainment format and the changing contestants, before discussing the episode's tasks and performances.
