Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster podcast, it's Ed Gamble here, your loyal host and host

forevermore.

I'm not relinquishing this podcast to anyone, more discussion about that later.

We're starting with series 11, new episodes of Taskmaster, as you know, if you've been

listening to the podcast in the past, we have been trawling the catalogue of Taskmaster,

we've done series one and two, but we are putting a pause on those old episodes now

to tackle series 11 week by week, because it started, it started if you're listening

to this straight after the main show on Channel 4, it started on the 18th of March, 9 p.m,

Thursdays on Channel 4, and we will be going through each episode bit by bit with the special

guest, as we always do.

And I'm very excited about this new lineup, Shana Ritchie, Jamani Maddox, Lee Mack, Mike

Wozniak, Sarah Kendall, very excited to see what they bring to the show.

So we need a special guest, who is as obsessed with it as I am, and this week's special guest

is Richard Herring, champion of series 10, of course, a lot of people suggesting that

he should be taking over this podcast now, that should be part of the Victor's prize

for winning Taskmaster, not going to happen.

I'm sure during this interview, he will try and wangle that out of me, but I will cling

onto this podcast, you will have to kill me to get it out of my hands, and even then

I will haunt the goddamn podcast.

I will, I will be a ghost, I will fly into the internet, and then I will fly down

Richard Herring's microphone, I will go in his mouth, and I will do a wee.

So watch out, Richard.
