Melon Buffet - A Taskmaster Discussion Podcast
The original Taskmaster discussion podcast. Two mega-fans discussing all things related to the British television sensation turned worldwide phenomenon.
Episodes
At very long last, we are here to wrap up series 11, with another double. We do our best to not go off on TOO many tangents, to keep things rolling. But this is us, so, well... We discuss Alex Horne's forthcoming new Taskmaster book, as well as the cast announcement for Series 11. Then around 55 minutes in, everyone else is free to stop listening, because that's when we get into the final scoring for Melon Buffet Master. Will...
SNAFU! Yet another technical disaster has us re-recording episode 7 and going right into episode 8. Our usual shenanigans and tangents are in abundance, two times over!

We are here with a mega double episode. Do yourself a favor, break it up, go get a drink. It is what it is, but we're caught up. We talk far too long about flatulence, hemorrhoids, and Capybara. We are thoroughly impressed with the quality of entries from our Melon Buffet Master entrants.

Sliding in, just in the nick of time, once again. This is a short one, by our standards, but we still laugh our asses off and manage to go off topic at least once.

Kicking off Series 11! Charley & Tara talk about the cast, and who the early favorites are. Miraculously, they don't go off on too many tangents, for once. Tara is, once again, scandalized that Charley hasn't seen one of her favorite movies. There are new rules for Melon Buffet Master. Listener emails and comments are read.

We also look forward to the New Year Treat, and Series 11.

We are late again, but not as late as last week, so you're welcome. We discover that we both don't eat chicken wings, and that Tara is a weirdo with a skull collection. We think we are all caught up with listener submissions.

We are SO late, and we are SO sorry. First tangent is a big one... Less than five minutes in, and inspired by toilets. We briefly discuss the forthcoming New Year Special. Melon Buffet Master is getting insane and the points are stacking up.

It’s our usual shenanigans, where we discuss the tasks, but get distracted by Gargoyles and meat thermometers. Melon Buffet Master starts to turn into quite the contest, with new bonus entries really heating up the scoreboard. We establish Charley can’t be bribed, but Tara probably can.

Charley & Tara are finally getting back into the groove and remembering how a podcast recording session works. They delve into Episode 2 of the series, with their usual tangents and asides.
The first points are awarded in this series of Melon Buffet Master, with some returning competitors, and a few new names. There is a bit more of the cultural exchange between hosts, and then the hosts ponder some of the clues about rumored Ser...
Charley & Tara would like to apologize in advance for our first episode in nearly a year. We clearly have to shake the dust off and get back into the groove after the melodramatics of us discovering there would be a new OFFICIAL Taskmaster Podcast hosted by Series 9 Champ, Ed Gamble.
Otherwise, it's business as usual, and we are happy to be back discussing the best show on TV. We could promise we will do better next week, but we ...
Series 9 is over, so now we judge the last of the listener-submitted tasks to crown the first ever Melon Buffet Master Champion. But this is not without controversy. We also discuss the move to Channel 4, Greg's documentary hosting, Ed Reddit AMA, and our plans for the podcast going forward.

Tara & Charley have both had a shit week, so decide to not share about their lives, yet somehow manage to ramble on for nearly nine minutes before discussing anything truly Taskmaster-related. Breakfast drinks, flamingos, spiders, and freezers are all up for discussion. We both agree that Greg needs to get a comprehensive security system in his home to protect himself from the Taskmaster contestants. As usual, points are awarded...
