About this episode
#551 Human Dodecapede - Richard has a new notebook and is making jokes that were topical in November 2024 (and probably still are) and has met one of his sporting heroes, for whom Rich is an unlikely hero. His guest this week is cricket statistician Andy Zaltzman. They talk about what it is to be a Taskmaster Champion, who might have had the most awkward introduction to their team on the show and the power of dressing like a snooker player. Also how Andy landed what must have been his two dream jobs, how to improve the game Howzat, self-playing Subbuteo, whether John Oliver is in danger in the USA, how Zaltzman has been podcasting even longer than the Podfather, whether cricket pads to Pakistan is coals to Newcastle and some unusual picks for a perennial qesugtion.
