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.

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.
