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.   To be on the show, fill in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewform?ts=62602129&edit_requested=true To come and watch the show be recorded live at London’s iconic Clapham Grand, click here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopod   Hit follow, and tell a friend to #growtheshow.

    About British Caffs: How to cook a PROPER fry-up

    This week, Joe and Tom sit down with Anna and Nev, the sibling duo behind the UK’s oldest family-run caff. It’s been serving up lasagnas, fry-ups and strong cups of tea for 125 years — long enough to witness changing food trends, a few fights behind the counter, and some very questionable breakfast orders. They spill the beans on famous customers, proper portions, and why calling it a “café” is just plain wrong. Oh, and Madonna might have had their bread and butter pudding. We love Anna and Nev's Down the Caff podcast, and you will too! You can find it here: https://podfollow.com/1747158023 Come and see us at Pub in the Park on 18th May (Marlow) or 1st June (London)!

    About Celebrants: The strangest wedding trends you’ve never heard of

    Our guest this week is India, a celebrant who turns weddings into something way more personal than just saying "I do." She tells us about the couple who wrote their vows live during the ceremony, a barefoot bride with a penchant for rose petals, and why "ring warming" is a completely innocent tradition... promise!

    Things People Review: Josh the Chimney Sweep is back!

    This week we are joined by a very special guest. A man so famous in the Bristol and Bath area after being a guest on our show, that we almost had to pay him a fee. It's the people's champion, a TPD legend... Josh the Chimney Sweep is back! We're in Bristol, and he's here for a catch up, some bonkers hypothetical questions, and to tell us what cultural things he's been up to. We're genuinely debating signing him up full time on the show... enjoy. This episode is proudly sponsored by BrewDog Punk IPA.

    About Ghosts: How to tell if your house is haunted

    Our guest this week is Danny Robins, ghost hunter and host of Uncanny. He spends his life speaking to people who swear they’ve seen ghosts—but does he actually believe in them? We talk poltergeists, the fear of death, and whether being a ghost would be a bit… rubbish. Plus, Joe considers whether he’s ever moved objects with internal turbulence (after a curry, maybe).
