Things People Do

There aren't words big enough to describe how much we love this episode. But if there were, Tom Read-Wilson would probably know them! He is here to tell us everything we've ever wanted to know about words, as we cover portmanteaus, swear words, palindromes, emojis, accents and a Scrabble record in Northern Ireland.

Our guest today is Max, who is a train driver, a listener of the show, and a very lucky man because he can get on any train he wants for free. In this episode, he tells us what it's like handling the 'vomit commit' last train out of London on a Friday, about the time he caused delays because nature called, and why driving a train is like playing a giant Bop It! We love Max, and you will too.

Can we do a whole episode about batteries? You bet we can. Batteries are everywhere. They are in your remote controls. Your cars. The random draw you probably have in the kitchen, full of both new and used batteries and you can’t remember which are which. But do you know how they work? When the first battery was invented? Why phone batteries deteriorate? How many massive batteries it would take to power Wembley Stadium? Our guest today is Cillian (aka The Batt-man) who is here to tell us everything we’ve ever wanted to know about batteries, including a big revelation about electric cars. Apparently they’re not all that?

This episode is brought to you in partnership with East Start Batteries. You can find out more about them here: https://www.easystartbatteries.co.uk

We've got an absolute legend of British comedy in the studio today... it's Nick Frost! Joe gets very star struck, as Nick tells us how he went from being a waiter and factory worker, to starring in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and many more iconic comedy films. It also turns out he is better at scrummaging than Joe as well, and he never got a single free Cornetto after the Cornetto trilogy.

Go and watch Nick's new film 'Timestalker' which is out now

Meet Will, who has worked in the industry since before the Hob Nob was invented. In fact, he almost vetoed the name 'Hob Nob' before it was released. In this episode you will discover who writes the joke on a Penguin bar, Joe's very strange way of eating a chocolate digesting, and a phenomenal story including a lawsuit and a two-foot Jaffa Cake. There is also a major break through, as 'Things People Dunk' is born...

Jules went to prison when she was 20 years old, and is here to tell us all about what life is like on the inside. In this episode, we talk about what food you can eat (hairy chicken legs anyone?), how you pass the time and how you survive in sometimes very difficult conditions. She also tells us about being released, what it is like to re-enter the outside world, and about the amazing work she now does in helping others who have been through the criminal justice system, by discussing key issues on her podcast, 'Life After Prison'.

Jules is amazing, her insight is amazing, and you should go and listen to her podcast, by clicking here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/life-after-prison/id1646949340

We're back at the Clapham Grand, and our guest is the phenomenal Catherine Bohart! Before she was a comedian, she can boast that she worked in the only cinema in Ireland that put hot butter on their popcorn, she travelled the world competing in a debate team, and she is an expert at keeping an Orchid alive from her days as a receptionist. Joe also learns a lot in this episode, including that you can get Ox bile tablets from Holland and Barrett, and that buses sometimes have a roof. It's a wild ride.

Our guest today is Sam, who knows pretty much everything there is to know about chickens and eggs. He even has mind blowing answer to the age old question of which one came first. In this episode you'll hear about a real life chicken run, a hen that met Emma Watson and how to go about cleaning up 1000 cracked eggs. There are also multiple times where the entire podcast is basically just chicken noises, because Joe has lost his voice. Enjoy.
