"I would not want to live in the Cotswolds... No offence to the Cotswolds community."

This time on WDYD I sit down at home with Edith to hear all about the ups, downs and everything in-between of being a painter.

It's a lovely hour, as we talk about what it means to sit with an object and to learn from it, the perils of portraiture, and how the door never really closes on taking up a creative pursuit. Oh, and the Cotswolds takes an absolute reputational battering. Take that, Cotswolds!

Edith's website, featuring a selection of her beautiful work, is here: https://www.edithdormandy.co.uk/

And if you're London-based and you've been inspired to break out the brushes, why not join Edith's course later this month at Hackney Fine Arts? You can take a look and book here:  https://www.hackneyfinearts.org/masterclasses

And the podcast and report Edith mentioned during the episode are here:

“I can’t keep going. There is no way that I can continue to do this.”

Bombs! Dogs! Tight boots!

It’s a thrill ride this time on What Do You Do? as I’m joined by Warren, who has the extremely cool distinction of being a Ski Patroller.

There’s a deadly serious Scoop, cool mountain jargon to be busted, and Warren slaloms his way through the Jobometer.

"I have half a mind to show you a rash"

If you've ever had a piece of lego stuck in your ear, then today's episode could be for you. Welcome to another episode of What Do You Do? This time we're in extra safe hands as I'm joined by Freddie, who's a trainee GP. There are tales of door-stopping patients, Lego where it shouldn't be, and Freddie reveals the tightly held medical secret that is "the cone".

As usual, there's a Scoop, Freddie ranks very well in the Jobometer and we bust some Dr House-worthy jargon.

“It had descended into riotous chaos. And that happened quite a few times…”

How do you throw a party for a million people?

My guest today is one of very few people who knows the answer to that question, and almost everything else besides about running an event.

There’s a concert gone wrong, a floating wedding, days-long parties in Goa, lots of faxes and more people getting hired on the spot in this week’s What Do You Do?

As usual, please share, give us a like and a nice review, and subscribe as I work out what it takes to do every job under the sun.

This time on WDYD we dive into the glamorous world of corporate law with Iffy.  What are lawyers really for? Is it all as sexy as Suits makes out? And do you really have to time record every minute of your day?

Get ready for not one but two cautionary tales from law school (involving some stolen Ray-Bans and an entire company having to move premises), some very late nights and a lot of Deliveroo.

Please subscribe, leave a lovely review and share!

"Are you allowed to do that? Are you allowed to drink that beer?"

Welcome back to another episode of WDYD and it's a belter. I welcome my friend Rob for a chat on life as an Officer in the British Army. There's insights from Sandhurst and life in the mess, a slice of history on Rob's regiment - the Gurkhas -and a bumper edition of Jargon Buster, in which I fail to deduce a single TLA (that's three letter acronym, to you and me) and we learn some Nepalese!

As always, there's a Scoop, and we wheel out the Jobometer to find out where being an army officer lands in my extremely official ranking of the world's best and worst jobs.

"Gave them the job on the spot. Couldn't resist" 

Welcome back to WDYD, the careers podcast that’s... mostly professional. It’s the biggest interview of your life... but it’s on Zoom, and you’re not wearing any trousers. 

My guest today is Hattie, who's an Estate Agent in London. What's it really like on the other side of a viewing? What's the trick to selling property? And are Londoners spying on their estate agents? 

Today's Scoop features the viewing from hell, we find out when pretending to be pregnant is useful, and we think on DINKs in Jargon Buster.

"That's my job, I like it, get stuffed"

Welcome to What Do You Do with Charlie MacKeith, the careers podcast that’s... mostly professional. My first guest is Charlie, who has not one but two job titles - he's a Forensic Accountant and a Loss Adjuster. 

We cover it all, from double entry to twiglets, Ben Affleck to boats. Charlie gives me the inside track on some accounting secrets in The Scoop, rates his jobs on The Jobometer, and we play Jargon Buster for the first time.
