  • About Cyber Security: Are we being watched through our webcams?

    This week, Joe and Tom sit down with cyber security expert Ben — or at least, someone claiming to be Ben (can we really trust him?). From secret photo folders to sneaky hackers in your inbox, Ben reveals the dark world of cyber crime and the little things we can all do to try and avoid it.

  • Things People Did, with Jamali Maddix: Prepping for a zombie apocalypse with baked beans and a samurai sword

    What did comedian Jamali Maddix do before making it as a big time comedian? Well when he wasn't refereeing a paintball match, cold calling about double glazing and labouring... he was at car boot sales.


    We had the best time ever with Jamali and think you should go and see him on tour: www.jamalimaddix.com

  • About Celebrants: The strangest wedding trends you’ve never heard of

    Our guest this week is India, a celebrant who turns weddings into something way more personal than just saying "I do." She tells us about the couple who wrote their vows live during the ceremony, a barefoot bride with a penchant for rose petals, and why "ring warming" is a completely innocent tradition... promise!

  • Things People Review: Josh the Chimney Sweep is back!

    This week we are joined by a very special guest. A man so famous in the Bristol and Bath area after being a guest on our show, that we almost had to pay him a fee. It's the people's champion, a TPD legend... Josh the Chimney Sweep is back! We're in Bristol, and he's here for a catch up, some bonkers hypothetical questions, and to tell us what cultural things he's been up to. We're genuinely debating signing him up full time on the show... enjoy.

  • About Ghosts: How to tell if your house is haunted

    Our guest this week is Danny Robins, ghost hunter and host of Uncanny. He spends his life speaking to people who swear they’ve seen ghosts—but does he actually believe in them? We talk poltergeists, the fear of death, and whether being a ghost would be a bit… rubbish. Plus, Joe considers whether he’s ever moved objects with internal turbulence (after a curry, maybe).

  • About Beer Scientists: Who let Joe loose in a beer lab?

    Welcome to Things People Brew part two, where today we are recording in an actual lab! Our guest is Fraser, a beer scientist who is here to blow our minds with all the clever stuff that goes into beer making. We talk about fermentation, flavour deterioration, and lots of other big words that Joe doesn't understand. They also learn about robotic arms, and noses that operate on artificial intelligence. Get ready for a science lesson that was much better than the ones you had in school.

  • About Brewers: Meet the Willy Wonka of beer making

    Welcome Things People Brew, where this week it’s all about brewing beer (see what we did there?). Today, we have left our usual studio to go and meet the Willy Wonka of beer making at his set up in Waterloo. His name is AJ, and he’s here to tell us everything we;’ve ever wanted to ask about beer, and to share some of his weird and wonderful concoctions, featuring pineapple, glitter and sometimes crickets (as in Jimmeny!). We learn a lot about yeast, hops, and Joe gets pretty tipsy again. Enjoy!

  • Things People Did, with Abi Clarke: Work experience in a cupboard, teaching 'movement' and flirting with Poldark

    We are in Bristol for another Things People Did, and our guest this week is comedian and Tik Tok sensation, Abi Clarke. Abi has had quite the journey, from work experience at a hairdressers (where they basically kept her in a cupboard), to making it on the big screen as an extra in Poldark, where she mostly just flirted with 'the hottest man alive' whilst dressed in a horrendous wig. She also invented something called 'dog of the week' and she teaches Joe how to improv as a welsh chimney sweep. It's a wild ride.


    We love Abi - go see her on tour! Tickets here: https://www.livenation.co.uk/abi-clarke-tickets-adp1556227
