Hello Taskmaster Podcast fans!

We are rewinding back to 2021 when Ed talked to Alex Horne about the very early days of Taskmaster as well as the first ever episode (that transmitted!)

They discuss Edinburgh, show formatting, how they got their first legendary line up - Frank Skinner, Josh Widdicombe, Roisin Conaty, Romesh Ranganathan and Tim Key!

Tasks include, painting a horse while on a horse, empty the bath AND eat the most watermelon...

We're joining the People's Pod this week, as Jenny and Jack discuss part two of the 2026 New Years Treat - asking the questions no one else has yet asked; what would it be like to holiday with this cast? Is a moth-eaten squirrel exotic? Is it time to stop the 'thing inside a thing' Taskmaster trend?
