Taskmaster The Podcast

It's the second semi-final tonight, and Ed catches up with his pal Nish Kumar about what it's like to watch their mutual friend "Rose MacFeo" as the Junior Taskmaster, as well as their mate Mike lose to a ten year old at football.

There are also some philosophical discussions about what makes a meat pie, how all awards are technically made up, and whether or not there should have been a DQ in the caterpillar task.

See Nish on his tour Nish Don't Kill My Vibe.
