Taskmaster The Podcast

Tonight for the grand finale we welcome THE Junior Taskmaster herself, Rose Matafeo! Ed finally gets to ask Rose what it was like having to give out scores to ten year olds, what happened during that chaotic toilet paper task, and whether or not she would have done Junior Taskmaster when she was younger.

You can watch Rose's special On and On and On, streaming now on HBO Max and Sky.

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.

This week good friend of the podcast Lou Sanders joins us to chat with Ed about the first semi-final of Junior Taskmaster!

They cover a range of topics, from poetry to why we should call secrets 'surprises,' and whether or not Mike can be considered an object.

Tonight Ed is joined once again by fellow Taskmaster expert, Jack Bernhardt!

Ed and Jack discuss the final heat of Junior Taskmaster, including which contestant from tonight’s episode Ed identified with most, whether or not Jack has started hot housing his children for Junior Taskmaster, and why Ed felt personally trolled in this episode.

Tonight we are joined by the original Taskmaster's Assistant, it's Little Alex Horne!

Ed and Alex discuss Junior Taskmaster, including which of the prize tasks in this episode Alex can imagine Bob Mortimer bringing in, what he thinks about Mike as a Taskmaster's Assistant, which task he would have changed in retrospect and the little ways the team tried to make this show be just as much for the grownups as it is for kids.
