312 Episodes
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.

About The Traitors: The ultimate guide to lying and deception
The Joe Marler Show
Our guest today is... a Traitor. It's all anyone is talking about, the biggest show on TV, where lies and treachery are the name of the game. Paul from series 2 of the Traitors was a master of deception, and he's here to tell us what it's actually like behind the scenes of that famous Scottish castle. We ask all the important questions - what's Claudia Winkleman like? Does anyone ever actually eat breakfast? Would you be suspected of being a Traitor if you pooed with the door open? The usual stuff. Even if you haven't watched The Traitors, this is the ultimate guide to lying and deception... with all the usual nonsense as well.
