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.

Q: Would you go to space?
