    Contain the Prolapse - S17 Ep.4

    This week Jack and Jenny discuss episode 4 of series 17 - including what grandmothers REALLY want, slut drop modifications you can do at home for the less experienced, and whether it's ok for Greg to ever appear in the Taskmaster house.
    Jack also tries to make sense of a task that even he isn’t sure is objective or subjective, and the pair speak to the 'real hand' behind this week's hand shaking task.

    Bit of Bonnet Drama - S17, Ep.3

    Bit of Bonnet Drama - S17, Ep.3

    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.

    Be Really Careful With Your Rococo Mirrors

    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.

    Geoff Do You Want To Come Sit On My Suitcase

    Buckle your boots - it's time for another episode of Taskmaster: The People's Podcast!

    This week Jack and Jenny have gone all the way back to the infamous Pie Whisperer in the first series of Taskmaster, in an effort to bring Jenny up to speed on all the classic episodes before Series 17 hits our screens on the 28th of March.

    Plus Jenny discovers some OWL fan crossover, we hear revelations regarding The Satsuma Complex, and some fans point out that Rhod Gilbert is by no means the craziest eyeball opener.

Great podcast

I love the podcast! Jack is such a great rep for all of us super-fans and Jenny is so charming. I love hearing their different takes on contestants and tasks and how (unlike certain OTHER podcasts) it tides us over between seasons. Also, Tim Key is not a cheater.

The Best for Taskmaster fans

If you’ve see the Taskmaster show and are obsessed with it, then you might want to consider this “companion” podcast… there’s another podcast that’s perfectly fine but this one hits all the best bits for me. And the addition of Jenny to the show is a big coup! Jack and Jenny bring the stats and the humor every week. Thanks for being a bright spot in my week!

Thank you from one TM superfan to another

Jack and Jenny, this podcast is a delight!!! As someone who has watched all of TM UK at least 2x over, all of TM NZ 1-2x, and is now getting back into TM AU—and is a big fan of TM Minnesota—I so appreciate getting to hear from Jack, who may be one of few people even more obsessed with TM than I am. And Jenny, you are an all around hilarious and lovely presence who brought a joyful energy to S15 of TM UK and now this podcast as well! Though the statistical analyses may be woefully underpowered (Alex Horne must make more seasons to remedy this), they are great fun. Thank you for the goofs, the bloops, and the insider insights into the world of Taskmaster! And for interviewing the great David Ha.
