Take another trip down memory lane with us this week. This time we're re-visiting the hat stat debacle (prompted by Ed Gamble), interviews with some of our earliest fan guests, plus remembering advice from Joel Porter about how to make The People's Podcast better than the other one. To top it all off is fan favourite Fern Brady recounting her Taskmaster experience and how Taskmaster fans have changed her. 
Jack and Lou will be back next week to answer more of your questions and talk about what's been happening in the Taskmaster-verse while we've been away.

This week it's all about the series 17 "penny"! Jack checks in with his stats as we approach the finale, including where Steve falls in the category of ‘best prize task contestants’ from all series, and the pair ponder whether or not bleep tests universal, what would a Sophie + Steve team have looked like, if Joanne goofed in the third task, and if Steve could have been inspired by Les Bub with the rubber bands. And finally, we get some answers about how snakes shag thanks to our dedicated fans, but unfortunately it does lead to more questions for Jack and Jenny. Have a question of your own?
