After a wonderful first series of Junior Taskmaster, join us in a trip down memory lane as we revisit some of the best moments from the podcast, with wonderful guests including Nish Kumar, Emma Sidi and the dynamic JTM duo themselves, Mike Wozniak and Rose Matafeo!

We're talking pigeons, mash and so much more - including a shocking confession from Lou Sanders that her mother dearest once did her art homework for her! So settle back, rest your weary feet and drift away with us to a land of twists, turns and incredibly confident children.

Ed will be back next week to talk about Series 2 of Taskmaster New Zealand, and not to worry - your next instalment of Taskmaster UK is on the horizon, with the new line-up announced this week! Series 19 will welcome Matt Baynton, Rosie Ramsey, Jason Mantzoukas, Fatiha El-Ghorri and Stevie Martin! But who will triumph? Only time will tell...

It's time for Taskmaster The Podcast Best Of - Series 18!!

Join us in a look back on our favourite moments from this series - from Mr Poo to Ox Tail Soup, we've got it all here in a delicious mix.

Who could forget Emma Sidi attempting a three-way secret affair with Andy Zaltzman and Babatunde Aléshé on national TV? Certainly not us. Not to mention Rosie Jones's pipe choice and Jack Dee's general grumpiness across the series. John Robins even pops in to say hello!

Next week we will return with some classic moments from Junior Taskmaster and then Ed will be back covering TM NZ S2!

So keep your eyes peeled, and do your homework - Series Two of TM NZ is available to watch on channel4.com!

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.
