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.

The Show Growing Committee: Billboards, squirrel photographers and a power hungry producer
The show growing committee meet for the first time in 2024 to discuss the year of podcast domination ahead. It's slow progress, as Joe once again bemoans the lack of a neon sign for the show, and he's starting to worry that producer Ryan is letting power go to his head. There is however some good news as well - billboard in Leicester Square anyone? Joe and Tom go through some excellent guest applications for the show, and we have some excellent suggestions from our patrons. There is also talk of a 2024 UK tour... in a camper van.We want ideas for the show, and questions for Joe and Tom!
