Pucker your lips and furrow your brows, it's another episode of Taskmaster: The People's Podcast. This week we are joined by the wonderful Fern Brady, beamed in all the way from Cork to discuss bread hypnosis, Lou's big hands and her fantastic new book, Strong Female Character.

Speaking of literary works, Jack's doing things by the book this week, and by that I mean he's looking into whether being a published author helps or hinders Taskmaster contestants. Who's the most prolific? Who's the most successful? And who's stolen the bookmark out of my copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Now I'll never know what happens to that greedy little boy!

If you want to share your Taskmaster obsession, whether it's talking about your favourite task, what you loved from the latest episode or that you've had all the doors in your house adjusted so that if Greg Davies were to visit he wouldn't need to stoop, we're all ears. As always, you can leave a voice note on the Fanswering machine. The number is 07810 025570. Alternatively send us an email at the address below. Your time starts... NOW!

Watch Taskmaster every Thursday at 9pm on Channel 4.
