Taskmaster The Podcast

190

This is the official Taskmaster podcast, hosted by former champion and chickpea lover, Ed Gamble. Each week, released straight after the show is broadcast on Channel 4, Ed will be joined by a special guest to dissect and discuss the latest episode. Past contestants, little Alex Horne, and even the Taskmaster himself will feature in this brand-new podcast from the producers of the BAFTA-winning comedy show.

    The Very Best
    Makes me laugh each episode and I look forward to every new series to be covered! Thank you!

    Five Sweet Points
    A great way to fill the void between series and episodes. As a US fan I’m typically at least one series behind and must delay my listening accordingly. I like how the pod is respectful of preventing spoilers in both descriptions and before revealing any news.

    Love it
    Obsessed! Love all of the guests and Ed is the best host.
  • Cliftron3000
    Always a delight.
    Ed is a consummate podfessional. Look forward to these and Off Menu.

    Great Host, Content, Funny! (Maybe fix volume?)
    I really like this podcast and haven’t missed an episode! Ed is a great host and the content is great for a fan of the Taskmaster show. one issue though: the audio volumes are all over the place. I’m sure it’s hard getting consistent audio from all the guests using various teleconferences. But it can be really jarring. If the guest is quiet, I turn up the volume and then Ed’s responses make me jump out of my skin, they are so loud!!! And the transition music is so much louder than the voices so it’s the same issue. If at all possible to balance the audio volume levels, my ears would thank you kindly!

    Amazing, Hilarious, Insightful!!!
    Amazing podcast for an amazing show! So happy my husband introduced me to it, the show and the podcast are somewhat that we truly enjoy together. The best! Ed is a great host, and so clever.

    A bright spot through lockdown
    From the US - I finally understand why NFL fans watch SportsCenter and all the other pre- and post-game shows. It’s brilliant - so glad I stumbled onto it, and also pleased that hosting duties were not transferred when Season 10 wrapped! Thanks for making it!

    Love it!
    I love Taskmaster and enjoy hearing from past contestants and how well it stays on track and reminds me of all the fun memories of past series. Ed’s a great host.

    Great Companion to the Show!
    United States based fan here. Really enjoy the added context and banter that the podcast adds to the show. Look forward to it every week!

    Found season 9
    One point off due to season 9 not being properly available, I did find it though, Ed was a fun contestant.

    Great Escape
    In 2017, while living and working in Korea, South not North😉, I was flipping through my streaming options and saw a TV show that was in English. Desperate for English content television, I watch the show and was immediately hooked. Upon returning to the United States, I scrambled for a viewing option, but was unable to find one. It wasn’t until mid 2021 that I stumbled across the series on prime video. I’ve gobbled up every single episode, multiple times. Now, I have found a viewing option for series 12 and now every Friday morning, I kick my weekend off with a new episode before work and spend the rest of the day smiling. My drive home has an added treat of the TM podcast. Thanks for laughs so well needed in this strange and weary time. US viewer: Dr. Cathy

    A delightful romp
    Almost as entertaining as watching the show itself! It’s fantastic to hear the behind-the-scenes insights and the amusingly nerdy analysis.
  • roe the boat
    Is this what liking sports is like?
    I love to hear the play by play and analysis. I think I finally understand why people waste their days watching sports. Only I don’t understand why they don’t just watch Taskmaster instead.

    Podcast Over
    What a shame it had to end, on the Phil Wang guest spot, before they finished season four. Ed didn’t even say goodbye. But, a change in format is overdue and David Baddiel will make a good host for the podcast.
  • d_nanner
    So much happiness!!
    Ed is the most delightful host and I love hearing the inside scoop from current and past episodes. There could be a new episode every day and I would gobble it up.
  • Soujiya2
    Phew
    I finally saw series 9 and was somewhat worried about Ed’s stability- so no matter what happens in the CofC he’ll still have this. Ed has always struck me as being pretty rational, let’s just say I prefer him as a host on the podcast to his psychotic rages, though they were often kind of fun too. The podcast itself is stellar I’m really hoping Sally Phillips will come on in series 5. But like most fans of the show my favourite contestants are about half the participants. And everybody else is good too, so the format just gives you tons of great guests. Thanks very much.

    Taskmaster fix
    This show has been a Godsent. Taskmaster is an amazing show. My life has less joy when it is not airing new episodes. This podcast is the fix I needed. You are doing a great job Ed Gamble.
  • Lunk the Dunk
    Favorite news thing
    As someone else here wisely said, I’d let Ed do unspeakable things to me, and I’d have Greg force Alex to watch.
  • Goblet of FUN
    New favorite
    I would let Ed Gamble do unspeakable things to me.
  • Jhyghxdthh
    Good podcast, sound needs tweaking
    Vocals are at a 4 so I have to turn my volume all the way up but the music is at 11 so I blast my eardrums every time it’s played. As a yank I don’t know who most these people are, I’d like to hear just a brief snippet of who they are outside of Taskmaster. Great podcast, keep up the good work, fix the sound and it’s a 5 star review!
  • Misc....**
    Papa don’t breach
    Really liking this podcast though the format works better for me now during the rewatches having the former contestants on to talk about their own shows and experiences
  • Anomaj
    Properly delightful
    It’s a podcast about Taskmaster- if you like the show, you’ll enjoy listening. Self explanatory I think. Ed Gamble was an inspired pick to host. He has experience hosting podcasts and it def shows. He manages to maintain funny conversation without constantly talking over guests. Would be nice to have more Alex Horne episodes though, its cool hearing his actual thoughts since on stage he mostly plays a character.

    What better companion to Taskmaster than...
    What better companion to The Greatest TV Programme of all time than The Greatest Podcast Of All Time? Certainly host Ed Gamble could skate by on just good looks alone but he works hard and brings both personal experience as a contestant and genuine broadcasting chops to the genie’s table (cheeky Off Menu reference). Can it ever cure cancer? Perhaps. But can it cure The Winter Blues? Most certainly! Thanks Gamble, Horne, and Davies for this blessing in dark times.
  • MZeiser
    I want more!
    Even when the series ends I would still listen to this every week with previous competitors talking about the show and their tasks.
  • Melvintpunymeyer
    Great companion podcast
    Taskmaster is one of my favorite shows so it’s awesome to have this podcast to get even more Taskmaster content. Ed is a great comedian and podcaster and I’m excited to hear from all my favorite previous contestants.
  • Koi35
    Missed opportunity
    Taskmaster Podcaster, that’s what I would have called it. Regardless, love Ed and can’t wait for more episodes.
  • Sadie828
    Lovely first episode
    I love hearing behind the scenes things about Taskmaster. I would listen to Ed talking about the show, and to former contestants for hours. I hope Joe, Lolly, or Noel come on at some point and talk about their tub team task.
  • RJNM

  • Toondilley
