We are joined this week by Nina Hobson, who is an ex-detective, bodyguard and who now runs a counter sex trafficking organisation.

    This week, Joe and Tom meet 'Choccy' Joe, who is basically the real life Willy Wonka. He brings with him a chocolate box like no other, and non-choccy Joe basically eats all of them. In this episode, we learn how chocolate is made, which chocolate best for you, and that a new secret 'ruby' chocolate exists.

  • About Social Media: How to stop being addicted to your phone

    We have new merch! Get your caps, hoodies and signed tour posters here: joemarler.co.uk/shop


    Our guest this week is Adam, who runs a secret social media business for celebrities, and basically knows everything there is to know about social media. He terrifies Joe and Tom by telling them about how algorithms work, and why we all spend hours every day scrolling on our phones without actually taking anything meaningful into our brains. On a more chirpy note, he used to create passwords for Tony Blair and run Fat Boy Slim's twitter account.

  • About Airport Security: What are the strangest items found in passenger's bags?

    There are two types of passengers at airport security. Those who come prepared with their liquids in bags, and no strange items in their cabin luggage, and those who don't. Which one is Joe? You can probably guess. He meets his match in today's episode, with our guest Charlotte, who is a manager at Manchester Airport Security! She tells us about the strangest items she has ever found in people's bags, the biggest bug bares when people don't pick up their trays and reason you can't bring a tub of butter on a flight with you. She also takes absolutely none of Joe's attitude, which is always fun.
