Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster podcast, it's me Ed Gamble, host of the Taskmaster

podcast and of course we're still talking about series 16 of Taskmaster. Getting towards

the end now of the series, really getting to crunch time because today we'll be talking

about episode 8, 8 of 10, and we have a special guest to talk about it, of course we have

the wonderful Greg Jenner, you all know Greg Jenner as the host of your Dead To Me, the

Hit History Podcast, Greg as a historian, broadcaster, involved in horrible histories,

of course massively, he's been on this podcast before, he is a Taskmaster superfan and

thinks about it in a sort of deep way that I think a lot of people don't, so Greg always

bring something interesting, a new little tip bit of information or a new angle on things

which no one else does, so we're always excited to speak to Greg and we will be speaking

to him about series 16, episode 8, so let's just get on with it, here's Greg Jenner.

Welcome back Greg to the Taskmaster podcast.

Thank you very much for having me back, I'm thrilled.

Greg is a joy to have you back, always in most enthusiastic and incisive guest, I think

a true Taskmaster fan.

I think probably what happens is that I get so excited when you ask me to do this, that

I drop everything else, I get way in my head about it, I start to sort of think through

what would I say about it, and then I deliver all of that with too much energy and I come

at it with too much, I've listened back to past episodes and it's like I'm on double

speed, I don't know what's happened to me, I don't do this with other podcasts, it's

just you.

Well look, we absolutely love it, we love the enthusiasm, we love that you're double
