About Miners: The most dangerous workplace on Earth?

Come and see us in Clapham on November 1st? Tickets for our next live show are on sale now: https://link.dice.fm/B708c6703331
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to podcast we go. Our guest today is Joe Cage (Miner Joe), who is an expert when it comes to digging up limestone and other minerals. In this episode we learn the difference between a mine and a quarry, why the mining industry is so important and dangerous in equal measure, and Joe Marler (Major Joe) has his mind blown by the size of the diggers they use. There is also a lot of chat about explosions, shafts and a guy named 'Baggo'.

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.
