Pub in the Park London: What happened when we forced Joe onto a ferris wheel?

We've gone behind the scenes at Pub in the Park London, to find out who deals with backstage divas, how bags of litter get filled at a festival, and who is in charge of the power / what happens if it goes wrong. We also dragged Joe onto a ferris wheel against his will. Plus, there is a cameo from Things People Do fan favourite... Daisy's mum. Because all good festivals should include your mother-in-law.

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.
