Playground designer Chris sits down with Joe Marler and Tom Fordyce to break down exactly what it’s like to design children’s playgrounds for a living - there’s more to it than you might think! Chris breaks down the dumbest, most stupid, inappropriate, and downright dirty playground designs he’s EVER seen and helps the guys design their own ADULT playground, which is definitely not suitable for children. You'll see why. Of course, the guys also don’t miss a chance to hear from an expert on what the quickest way down a slide is, how to do a full loop-the-loop on a swing, and take a moped onto a kid’s roundabout *DO NOT TRY AT HOME*. Joe Marler’s Things People Do is a weekly podcast hosted by Joe Marler and Tom Fordyce about the weird and wonderful things that people do! Each week, Joe and Tom interview a special guest with an unusual story, career or hobby. ▶️ Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXirpWYSrufXH55GPfVjCQ 0:00 Intro 0:44 Chris’ Job 04:35 History of playgrounds 08:00 Quickest way down a slide 10:19 Swings 13:20 Mopeds on roundabouts 16:19 Chris’ designs 22:55 Health and safety 27:46 DIRTIEST playground designs 32:06 Joe and Tom’s dream playground 38:00 Swing ideas 41:25 Cheesy zipwire 44:00 Dream roundabout 46:07 World’s BIGGEST playground 49:05 Perks of Chris’ job 51:02 Suspicious parents stories 55:01 Best playground EVER 🎟 Come and see us live at The Clapham Grand, tickets £15: https://claphamgrand.com/whats-on/?pge=1&type=46%2C 💜 To become an official sponsor, go to: https://www.patreon.com/thingspeopledo 🎙 To get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3qP2B2i 🛍 And if you want to buy a bobble hat (or other merch) go to: https://joemarler.co.uk/shop/ Connect with Things People Do! 🌐 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ThingsPeoplePod/ X: https://twitter.com/ThingsPeoplePod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ThingsPeoplePod Playground Designer Reveals FUNNIEST Playground Designs EVER | Joe Marler's Things People Do #Joe Marler #ThingsPeopleDo #GrowTheShow
