  • Things Joe Is Doing: Sumo wrestling, real life Mario Kart and the world's steepest street

    Joe has landed in Tokyo, after enjoying an unexpected flight in first class. He tells us what he's been up to so far, who he's rooming with, and we start to put together his to do list for the summer. Mario Kart racing, Sumo wrestling and visiting the world's steepest street are some of the excellent suggestions so far. There is also another round of 'Fings People Drink', which is rapidly becoming out favourite game...

  • The Show Growing Committee: The one you've all been waiting for... it's Daisy's Mum!

  • About Pharmacists: Fake Prescriptions, addiction and why you shouldn't buy branded pain killers

    This week our guest is Ben, who is a pharmacist. Joe and Tom ask him everything they've ever wanted to know about the drug industry, including can you fake a prescription?

  • Classic: About Artificial Intelligence

    This is a classic episode from back when we had no listeners, and today it's about AI. Will robots take over the world? What’s the point in humans? Do insects have ears?

  • About Cinema Managers: The real reason why the snacks are so expensive...

    Today, Joe and Tom meet Ellen, who is a cinema manager at the Campbeltown Picture House in Scotland... if you are ever near by, you should go, it sounds wonderful. They ask her everything you'd ever want to know about cinemas, such as why are the snacks so expensive? What is the weirdest item that has ever been left? And what are the films that have caused most people to walk out? Plus, Joe tells us about his experiences watching possibly the most random and disturbing film of all time. And turns out it's a real film, he wasn't making it up.

    Ellen has a podcast called 'Down The Back Of The Seats', and you can listen to it here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/down-the-back-of-the-seats/id1690055014

  • The Show Growing Committee: Joe Marler costumes, recycle bin drama and a neon sign betrayal

    Joe, Tom and Producer Ryan are back together to discuss how we grow this shambles of a podcast. There is some pressing bin chat on the agenda, as the emails have been flooding regarding the various recycling colours... but is there a show growing solution? The team also discuss the idea of young people dressing up as Joe for world book day, an uncomfortable urinal encounter at Chatham Services, and producer Ryan gets himself in trouble with the neon sign situation.
