This episode is brought to you by MANUAL, the UK’s leading men’s health service. Today is a podcast first... Joe is recording this episode without his hat on! Why? Because the time has come to have an open conversation around hair loss, and the stigma that comes with it. 50% of men will suffer with hair loss in their lifetime, and we shouldn’t be afraid to talk about it. Our guest today is Mike, who is a senior clinician at MANUAL, and is here to bust some myths, blow our minds with some stats and tell us how to take control of our hair loss. Plus, there is a ridiculous story about when Joe shaved off his mohawk and didn’t bother tidying it up... MANUAL are offering Things People Do listeners 55% discount on their first hair loss treatment order.  Go to https://hello.manual.co/a/social/joe-marler-things-people-do?coupon=JOEMARLER&utm_source=organic&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=joemarler and use the promo code JOEMARLER------To get in touch with us, email joe@crowdnetwork.co.ukIf 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 TikTokIf you'd like to enquire about commercial partnerships with our podcast, email Ryan Bailey ryanb@crowdnetwork.co.ukMusic courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.

If you could hang a podcast in The Louvre, then this might just be that podcast. Why did a banana taped to a wall cost $6.2 million? What is the point of the Mona Lisa? What actually is 'art'? These are some of the many questions that we put to Dr. James Hicks, who is art historian and one of the most knowledgable people we've ever met.
