Things People Do episodes

  • About Poaching

    Joe and Tom chat poaching, or anti-poaching with Jay. They discuss silly things like the time Jay’s whisky was stolen in the bush, the time Joe got ‘mock’ charged by an elephant and Jay gives us his best leopard impression.


    But they also tackle more serious topics like trophy hunting, sustenance poaching and the devastating impact of commercial poaching on rhinos, elephants and pangolin. So please be prepared for some difficult listening in this one.

  • About Ice Cream

    After the highly-successful cheese and wine tasting episodes, Joe and Tom meet Julie, an ice cream innovator (not inventor) to test some 'unique' ice cream flavours including horseradish and violet.


    Warning: If you suffer with misophonia (intense rage at hearing people chewing) then maybe skip to the end to hear some very useful ice cream facts.

  • About Cults (Part Two)

    This is one of our most fascinating episodes ever, and so it comes in two parts. Bexy Cameron is our guest and her new book is called Cult Following. Go and check it out.


    If you haven't listened to part one yet, make sure you listen to that before you listen to part two. It will be weird otherwise.

  • About Cults (Part One)

    What's it like to be in a cult? To be told you'll only live until you're 14 but that's ok because you'll be X-men and you're being raised as soldiers in the Armageddon? To fight in the last battle between good and evil? Well, our guest Bexy Cameron went through all that and a lot more. Bexy is incredible, but we should warn you, a lot of what she went through is really quite dark.


    Bexy's book is out now - it's called Cult Following and it's fascinating.


    This episode is a two-parter, because we all needed a break after 49 minutes.
