Description

Ho ho ho, merry Christmas! Actually we should just say merry Christmas, as apparently the real Santa doesn't say ho ho ho. We learn this (and many other secrets of the trade) from Mike, who is a professional Father Christmas. Yes, that is his real job all year round, as he takes bookings in January, and there is a Santa convention that happens in June. Luckily, most Santa's get to take Christmas day off. Warning, don't listen to this episode if you are around young children, as we don't want to ruin Christmas for anyone!

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.   Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.   Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.   To be on the show, fill in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewform?ts=62602129&edit_requested=true To come and watch the show be recorded live at London’s iconic Clapham Grand, click here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopod   Hit follow, and tell a friend to #growtheshow.
