The One Minute Mile

Comedy, Improv

The One-Minute Mile is a comedy panel game where each panelist is given a random subject on which to speak for a minute—but without hesitation, deviation, or repetition. It’s not easy, but you can have a lot of fun trying, as our panelists prove every week!

Based on the BBC panel game Just a Minute®, this podcast is an homage to that wonderful program, its creator Ian Messiter, its longtime chair Nicholas Parsons, and the talented team that carries on that glorious tradition.

None of the participants in The One-Minute Mile speak in any official capacity. All opinions expressed are their own.
We always strive to be 100% fact-free.

  1. #4: Criticism

    Episode 4

    Show notes

    Can Panelist Prasenjit Gupta take criticism? Or even just talk about it? Charles Berman, George Still, and James Aydemir will find out soon enough.
    James Curry is in the chair and is responsible for the topics and the ensuing mayhem. (No animals were harmed. Who cares about panelists?)

  2. #3: The Chip On My Shoulder

    Episode 3

    Show notes

    When panelist Espen Målbakken starts off his description of “The Chip on My Shoulder” by placing an actual chip on his shoulder, you know you’re dealing with a seasoned radio professional. James Curry, Doug Stolhand, and George Still are equally salty and delicious.
    Prasenjit Gupta returns as chair and remains as wooden as ever.

  3. #2: Bean Counters

    Season 1, Episode 2

    Show notes

    Panelists Espen Målbakken, Prasenjit Gupta, Charles Berman, and James Aydemir try to complete the one-minute mile in a feast of reason and flow of soul. At least that’s what they’d like to think.
    James Curry takes over as the chair and is no help at all.

  4. #1: The One-Year Anniversary

    Season 1, Episode 1

    Show notes

    James Curry starts off talking about “The One-Year Anniversary”—but how long can he go before Charles Berman, Espen Målbakken, or James Aydemir stop him? It’s madness all around.
    Prasenjit Gupta is the chair and turns in a fine performance as a piece of furniture.
