Taskmaster: The People's Podcast

This week Jenny and Jack hear from the voice behind the infamous Mr. Blobby task, unleashing some bonus Blobby factoids and behind the scenes insights thanks to Production Manager Sophie.

Plus, Jack discusses whether or not there’s any hope for the increasing gap between contestant scores, stats-wise, and why Dara should be a little afraid. We also learn why Greg might want to torch the John’s Howdah prize task after hearing this podcast and whether Alex could ever survive without a clipboard.

Don't worry, there's some good old fashioned pedantry too, with a brief philosophical exploration into what it actually means to walk towards a duck if you live on a spherical planet.

Locate those headphones and clean off that earwax - it's time for another episode of Taskmaster: The People's Podcast!

This week we're talking series 8 episode 4, including why Jack won’t be letting Jenny near his wife, a quasi-philosophical discussion about ‘what is a loo roll, really’ and, of course, the best way to entertain a baby.

We also take a look at the eye-watering Norwegian task recommended by listeners last week, and Jack’s stats answer a question about whether or not it’s better to just do nothing during a task.

Get the trumpets out and give them a little toot - it's time for another episode of Taskmaster: The People's Podcast!

It’s our 100th episode and what better way to celebrate than with Little Alex Horne himself!

Jenny and Jack ask him all the questions you want to know, such as:

When is series 17 coming out?

What is he filming now?

Is he running out of task ideas?

How long does it take him to guess who’s going to win each series?

What does he think of his hands?

And, what did he have for breakfast?

Alex also answers several specific questions from you, The People, that have been sent in by email over the last few months. 

Also, Jack does some emergency stats commissioned on the spot by Alex while Jenny reveals the worst mangle injury you could imagine.

Jack also answers a stats question from a fan about which contestant was most hampered by their team, and the results are surprising. 

For those of you losing sleep over the Morgana clapping question from a couple of weeks ago, one fan writes in with a decisive answer as to whether any points could have been saved.

Finish up that 'how to arch your eyebrows like Greg Davies' tutorial, 'cause it's time for Taskmaster: The People's Podcast!

This week Jenny and Jack are revisiting series 13, episode 6 because of three words: Bridget Christie Walking. The pair discuss whether cat cafes can ever be relaxing, how much tranquilliser you'd need to get Greg to sleep, what cement mixer moment made Jenny laugh the most, and why Hugh Dennis would be no trouble at all to raise. Next week the pair will be talking about series 7, episode 7 for anyone following along.

And in this week's stats, Jack get a question from Maggie in Michigan, who wants to know whether or not episode titles matter when it comes to points.

We also have another 'rear ended reverberation' discussion thanks to some 'butt bubble' spotting from a fan.

Fluff up that sofa cushion and adopt the traditional supine podcast position - it's time for another episode of Taskmaster: The People's Podcast!

This week Jenny and Jack are joined by a very special guest all the way from Minnesota - it's David Ha, the singular force behind fan favourite Taskmaster: Minnesota. David talks about what prompted him to start his own version of Taskmaster, how he writes his tasks, what lessons he learned after his first series, why he's not trying to be like Little Alex Horne, and a secret loophole from his second series that he has never revealed until now.

But before that, Jenny and Jack review Series 5, Episode 8 in another vintage homework assignment - can you guess which moment brought Jenny to tears?

Plus, the pair get some fan mail with some definitive answers about whether or not Bob Mortimer's The Satsuma Complex had anything to do with Taskmaster.

Have some ideas for the definitely-not-happening Series 3 of Taskmaster: Minnesota? Want to point out a goof or a bloop? Why not write to Jack and Jenny at [email protected].
