Joe Marler's Things People Do
Crowd Network
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 Game Shows: Richard Osman, come on down!
Our guest today is TV royalty, and one of the cleverest person we've ever had on the show - it's Richard Osman! He is here to tell us all about how game shows work, including why 'Deal or No Deal' basically sums up human nature, why The Traitors is deeply flawed, and why he wishes he had created 'The Weakest Link'. We also ask him to help us create our own game show, which goes terribly, and he has a quizzing showdown with out very own Mastermind, Joe Marler.If you would like to be a guest on the show, click here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewformTo get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3sAX0xROn Spotify you can subscribe for £1 a week by clicking this link: https://anchor.fm/thingspeopledoTo become an official sponsor, go to Patreon.com/thingspeopledoTo grow the show on socials, look for @thingspeoplepod on Instagram, Twitter and TikTokSend us your ideas for the show, and questions for Joe and Tom to joe@crowdnetwork.co.ukMusic courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.

About Wildlife Cinematographers: Filming elephants, living with penguins and what David Attenborough is really like

She has filmed incredible species in their natural habitats, including lions, penguins, bears and killer whales.

About Librarians: The most disgusting things people do to books
This episode will make you fall in love with libraries, that's a fact. Our guest is Lara, who is not your stereotypical librarian, in the sense that she doesn't spend her days telling people to 'ssshhhhh' or chasing people for fines. In this episode we discuss how libraries have changed the world, what the best excuses people have given for not returning a book, and 'that' aisle that is in every library where people get up to no good. Joe also shares his knowledge on books, which is basically The Hungry Caterpillar and a made up one from 'The Mummy'.We're at the Clapham Grand with Things People Did every month, get your tickets here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopodIf you would like to be a guest on the show, click here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewformTo get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3sAX0xROn Spotify you can subscribe for £1 a week by clicking this link: https://anchor.fm/thingspeopledoTo become an official sponsor, go to Patreon.com/thingspeopledoTo grow the show on socials, look for @thingspeoplepod on Instagram, Twitter and TikTokSend us your ideas for the show, and questions for Joe and Tom to joe@crowdnetwork.co.ukMusic courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.
