  • Generally good , can be terrible

    Generally an entertaining podcast, Ed and his guest, normally a past or current contestant talk about an episode of the excellent taskmaster. Just occasionally it becomes incredibly self indulgent when he gets one of his mates on and they sound like 6th formers at a minor public school trying to entertain each other, and forget about the audience. When it is one of those comedians who don’t actually need an audience because they find themselves so hilarious, it becomes unlistenable. Chief culp... more

  • Pls stop replays

    Love the pod, but can’t stress enough how annoying it is for you to just republish older episodes for the sake of it. You’re making it harder to search through the catalogue. It’s annoying. If I wanted to listen back to an ep, I’d do so myself! I don’t want avalon telling me which old eps I should listen to because they’re scared of slipping down the podcast charts. It’s fine to not be on top when there’s no taskmaster on TV. I’d rather there be a regular hiatus, which would make the return even... more

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
