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.
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.
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...
