Taskmaster The Podcast is the first official podcast of Taskmaster, not to be confused with Taskmaster: The People's Podcast. Each week Series 9 champion Ed Gamble and a special guest (often a previous Taskmaster contestant) discuss the events of an episode of the show, along with their own interpretations of the tasks and other related topics.
The podcast began with Series 10 and was released each week, immediately after the show was aired on Channel 4. The Taskmaster's New Year Treat followed shortly after. Since then, the podcast retrospectively covered all previous episodes from Series 1 to Series 9 in chronological order, pausing to cover current episodes as they aired. The podcast has released several 'Best of' highlights compilations. Now, the podcast has begun covering international versions of Taskmaster, starting with Taskmaster New Zealand. As of Series 19, the podcast began recording from the caravan with clips posted on YouTube.
Alex Horne used to appear in a segment called 'Your BFF (Bonus Fact Finder)' with a bonus fact about the episode or contestants.
