Joe Marler's Things People Do

Crowd Network

About

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.
 
Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.
 
Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.

About Playground Designers: Being a big kid for a living - the best job in the world?

Our guest this week is Chris, and he may just have the best job in the world. Chris designs, tests and inspects playgrounds... which means he basically gets to be a kid for a living. In this episode, he tells us about the craziest designs he's ever seen, some absolute death trap playing equipment, and about the time he got attacked by goats whilst inspecting a climbing frame. They also design Joe and Tom's dream playground... which is definitely not suitable for children. You'll see why. Come and see us at The Clapham Grand on 16th January for our next live show!

About Beekeepers: Thousands of stings, breeding Queens, and David Beckham's unrealistic hives

Happy New Year to you all, we hope you had a wonderful festive period full of fun and Valencia ice lollies... we know Joe did. We kick off 2024 with a belter, where we are joined by Emma the Beekeeper, who flew over from Northern Ireland to tell us about every different type of bee, how they elect a queen and the many times she has been stung in the face. She also tells us about a giant bee nightclub in the sky, and why David Beckhams hives aren't very realistic... it's a fascinating chat.

About Rebranding: A new era of the show begins

This is it. We have some big news to announce. As you heard a few weeks ago, from Jonny the marketing expert, the branding of our show could do with a bit of a make over. So, in this episode, you're going to hear about our plans for 2024! We have a new name, some new artwork, and from January we'll be bringing you an extra Friday episode as well. Joe, Tom and Producer Ryan are bringing the Show Growing Committee back to tell you all about it. The actual show is barely going to change, you can still expect the same fun, amazing guests and absolute nonsense. It's been a hell of a three years, but it's now time to take it to the next level... and we want you guys to come on the journey with us and help us #GrowTheShow. So, sit back, enjoy, and make sure you tell a friend about the podcast this Christmas. Actually, just tell all your friends... Come and see us at The Clapham Grand on 16th January for our next live show!

About Father Christmas: The secrets of being a professional Santa

Ho ho ho, merry Christmas! Actually we should just say merry Christmas, as apparently the real Santa doesn't say ho ho ho. We learn this (and many other secrets of the trade) from Mike, who is a professional Father Christmas. Yes, that is his real job all year round, as he takes bookings in January, and there is a Santa convention that happens in June. Luckily, most Santa's get to take Christmas day off. Warning, don't listen to this episode if you are around young children, as we don't want to ruin Christmas for anyone! Come and see us at The Clapham Grand on 16th January for our next live show!
