Welcome to the behind the scenes episode of our first ever festival. We're at Pub in the Park Marlow, where the food is delicious, the weather is glorious, and you arrive to the festival via boat (if you're Elis James). In this episode, Joe has a strangely flirty conversation with Daniel Bedingfield, Tom Kerridge shares some excellent BBQ tips, and we meet Colin, the head of security, who's main job is stopping kids rolling under fences and trying to crash the festival via the River Thames. Join us as we explore the UK's biggest food festival, and meet the people who make it happen.

Our guests this week are Cate, who is a sex therapist and Diggory who is her... son? Yes, you read that correctly. Together, they do a podcast about sex education, and they are here to tell us everything there is to know about performance anxiety, erectile disfunction and many other common problems that people face in the bedroom. We also discuss intel culture, how standard sex education needs to be improved, and Cate answers a series of anonymous questions from our listeners.

He's here to tell us about a harrowing interview he once had at Quicksave, the carnage that is the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, and the weird reason he got sacked from a gas pipe company.

Have we found the oldest profession in the world? Yes we have... our guest today is Ian, who is a Blacksmith, a job which first dates back to over 5000 years ago. He is a master of his craft, who spends his days at his forge, heating metal to ridiculous temperatures, and shaping them into beautiful and practical things. He also makes random things like medieval guillotines, metal flowers, and ornate iron gates. The good news is, Ian still has all 10 fingers, which after listening to this episode, will surprise you.

There are some big questions asked in this episode. Do traffic lights actually turn green if you flash at them? Are they all secretly harbouring hidden cameras? And is there one giant control room that turns all the lights red? Today we're joined by Sam, who is a traffic light engineer, and is here to confirm or deny all the myths about them. We all experience traffic lights on a day to day basis... but how often are we actually sat on red? You're about to find out.
