Description

This week, our guest is Ruth, a professional decorator who rocks a pair of pink overalls and loves inspecting the paintwork in nightclub toilets! In this episode, we discover why there is more to the job than 'slapping a bit of paint on the walls' (Joe's words), why there are so many different shades of white, and how to actually wallpaper a wall. There is also a lot of talk about elephant breath, among other weirdly named colours.

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.
