Podcast Summary

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 Come and see us at Pub in the Park on 18th May (Marlow) or 1st June (London)!

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.

Things People Did, with Abi Clarke: Work experience in a cupboard, teaching 'movement' and flirting with Poldark

We are in Bristol for another Things People Did, and our guest this week is comedian and Tik Tok sensation, Abi Clarke. Abi has had quite the journey, from work experience at a hairdressers (where they basically kept her in a cupboard), to making it on the big screen as an extra in Poldark, where she mostly just flirted with 'the hottest man alive' whilst dressed in a horrendous wig. She also invented something called 'dog of the week' and she teaches Joe how to improv as a welsh chimney sweep. It's a wild ride. We love Abi - go see her on tour!

Our guest today has a very powerful story, which started when she woke up in a cemetery on the morning after our London Palladium Show in 2023. Laura is a listener, who doesn't drink any more. She is a former pub manager, who now works as a peer mentor, helping others on their sobriety journey. This episode has some laugh out loud moments, and some more serious ones as well.
