Jo's started her Christmas shopping, recorded her last 2025 Real Folk podcast with author, critic, comic and musician, Marc Burrows, which is Christmas themed with inspiration for a perfect stocking filler book or books. Her fun facts have absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, as usual they are randomly sourced and whatever takes her fancy at time of recording so find out what useful item was originally invented as wallpaper, what the word ultracrepidarian means and what hilarious World Championships Finland invented. 

Follow Jo on Instagram #joburkeinsta you can also listen FREE to Jo interviewing authors, comedians, film makers and more on Real Folk with Jo Burke. Buy her books from CustardHQ and more info on Jo's work here: joburke.com
