  • About Competitive Eaters: Meet the woman who can eat 3 pickled eggs in 7 seconds

    What is the record for the fastest time to eat a Terry's chocolate orange? The most hotdogs swallowed in one minute? The fastest time to eat three pickled eggs? You're about to find out, because our guest this week is Leah Shutkever, who is the UK's no.1 female competitive eater, and she holds these records and many many more. In this episode, Joe attempts to break her chocolate orange record, and tries to set a new world record for the most Valencia Ice Lollies eaten in one minute. There is also a great story about a watercress festival.

  • About Mayors: Andy Burnham on expensive trains, and 'the' Joy Division

    What does a mayor actually do apart from wear chains and cut ribbons? Well, when we were in Manchester for the tour, we met up with Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and it turns out he doesn't actually do either of those things much. In this episode, we discuss how to make changes in a city, why it costs more to get the train to Manchester from London than to fly, and what Joe would do as the mayor of Heathfield. There is also a lot of music chat, and Joe offends Andy by calling one of Manchesters most iconic bands 'the Joy Division'.

    Whilst Joe is away with England preparing for the World Cup, we thought it would be a great time to have a look at back at some of the best bits from the year so far.

  • About Miners: The most dangerous workplace on Earth?

    Come and see us in Clapham on November 1st? Tickets for our next live show are on sale now: https://link.dice.fm/B708c6703331

    Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to podcast we go. Our guest today is Joe Cage (Miner Joe), who is an expert when it comes to digging up limestone and other minerals. In this episode we learn the difference between a mine and a quarry, why the mining industry is so important and dangerous in equal measure, and Joe Marler (Major Joe) has his mind blown by the size of the diggers they use. There is also a lot of chat about explosions, shafts and a guy named 'Baggo'.

  • About Neuroscientists: How our brains work

    Come and see us in Clapham on November 1st? Tickets for our next live show are on sale now: https://link.dice.fm/B708c6703331

    Fascinated by the brain? This is the episode for you. Dr Ryan is here, not a medical doctor, to tell us what the brain is up to, about the work he does researching neurodegenerative diseases and he goes on a tangent about whether flies can handle alcohol. He also brings some fruit flies into the studio, and one of them looks strangely like Joe.

  • About Recruitment: How to perfect your CV and nail a job interview

    Come and see us in Clapham on November 1st? Tickets for our next live show are on sale now: https://link.dice.fm/B708c6703331


    What do you know about recruitment? Probably more than Joe, who struggles with the concept of someone who's job it is to get other people jobs. Our guest this week tells us all about what you should and shouldn't include in a CV, how commission actually works, and that you shouldn't do a remote interview from a public toilet cubicle. There is also some excellent chat about fonts and eye contact etiquette.

  • About Football Hooligans: Stories of violence, racism and gang culture in the eighties

    A polite warning that it is quite a gritty episode this week, and there is also some uncomfortable language throughout. This week our guest is Riaz Khan, who is a university lecturer, author, and former football hooligan. He shares his fascinating story of being a member of Leicester's 'Baby Squad throughout the eighties, which includes graphic descriptions of violence, memories of racial abuse he experienced and how fashion played a part in gang culture. We also discuss the glamorisation of football hooliganism in the films, and how Riaz looks back at his time in the firm now.
