Things People Do

Welcome to the Culture Club, or 'Things People Review', as we're now calling it, thanks to a fantastic listener suggestion. In 2025, (a newly retired) Joe and Tom are going to expand their horizons, experience new cultural phenomenons and start reading/watching/listening to things our listeners suggest. In this episode, we talk about The Beatles, monster trucks, Padel, Richard Dawkins books and the idea of Joe being a better assassin than Eddie Redmayne. See, we can do 'culture'...

What is the first thing you look for at the scene of a murder? JJ, our guest today, is here to tell us, along with everything else you've ever wanted to know about investigating a crime scene. We haven't actually worked out if JJ is a secret serial killer, as he seems like the perfect person to commit a crime, because he knows exactly what to look for at a murder scene. But he's nice, so we trust him. A polite warning that this episode does contain descriptions of scenes that some listeners might find distressing.

Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate? It's Will. A listener, who spent five years as a cheerleader, and is contemplating a comeback. Is cheerleading exactly what we think it is? Probably not.

Happy New Year all! Joe and Tom are here to bring you into the new year by discussing their plans and resolutions for 2025, and a load of other nonsense. Now Joe is retired, this is sort of his full time job? That, or he's decided he wants to start a barber shop quartet... we'll see how that goes. Things People Do have BIG things planned this year, and we are looking forward to having you all along for the ride.

Featuring some of our fabulous previous guests, and some extra special familiar faces, you can sit back and enjoy an awards show like no other...

It's nearly Christmas, which means it's pantomime season! ("oh no it isn't..." etc etc). Our guest today is Andy, aka Widow Twanky / Mrs Smee / Wicked Stepmother, and he is here to tell us all about life as panto dame. How many costume changes is too many? How many smutty innuendos can you get away with? What happens when you fluff your lines? Plus, we work out which role Joe might be suited to in panto... spoiler, it's not one of the glamorous ones.
