Description

Our guest this week is Chris, and he may just have the best job in the world. Chris designs, tests and inspects playgrounds... which means he basically gets to be a kid for a living. In this episode, he tells us about the craziest designs he's ever seen, some absolute death trap playing equipment, and about the time he got attacked by goats whilst inspecting a climbing frame. They also design Joe and Tom's dream playground... which is definitely not suitable for children. You'll see why.

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.
