Imagine you, you in a nice comfy seat with your hands behind your head,

taking in the views instead of taking on the road, maybe even taking a nap.

That's the bliss of getting where you need to go without worrying about driving.

Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster podcast. It's me, Ed Gamble.

That's my new catchphrase in a style of Super Mario. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Very excited to be chatting about Series 14 Episode 9 today with our unadvertised guest, Greg

Jenner. Wonderful Greg Jenner, been on the podcast before. Yes, I am well aware that at the end

of last week's podcast, I said that this week would be Sarah Millican. What you are witnessing is

real-time, scheduling changes. Sarah is very busy. We're very busy. Things chop and change, you know?

We will be getting Sarah on soon, but it won't be this week and I feel like a right numpty

for jumping the gun and saying that it wasn't going to be this week. Silly old Ed.

But we're very excited to have Greg. Of course we are. Greg Jenner is, of course, a wonderful

historian and writer and podcaster. And he's got two new books out. He's got a history book for

kids out called You Are History. And he's got a history book for grown-ups or older children,

as I call them, called Ask History and Greg is a fantastic writer. He's always got something

interesting to say about history and exciting angles on things. So going by those perfect

Christmas gifts for the more history inclined in your life. Very excited to have Greg on.

Talk to him again. He absolutely loves Taskmaster. So it's going to be a good chat and we're

getting the episodes called The Business End. The Business End, of course, refers to a sausage,

but also it's the business end of the series. So let's get stuck in series 14 episode 9 with Greg Jenner.
