I wanted to find out what it's really like to work your magic on a room or fend off a gang of drunken punters with only a microphone. We talk heckles, first times, pre-show routines, and as always we blow the dust off the Jobometer and play Jargon Buster.

Ben is appearing at the Brighton Fringe this May, and has a Work in Progress show at the Bill Murray in Islington in August, go and see him! All the links you need are on Ben's Linktree here: benpope | Twitter, Instagram | Linktree

And he's on Insta here: Ben Pope (@popesbenedict) • Instagram photos and videos

And for some bonus content on some of Ben's biggest influences and his love/hate relationship with reels, stick around after the outro!

Welcome back to another episode of WDYD?! It’s the long-awaited Jacob episode! Poor Jacob was my guinea pig for our first ever recording, but glitches meant it never saw the light of day.

Jacob did a splendid job of explaining just what his job as a Management Consultant really entails but be in no doubt, things got fractious. Jacob took issue with my line of questioning, accused me of fudging the numbers on the Jobometer, then had a small-scale existential crisis when he received his score. It’s unmissable content.

]]> Jacob - Management Consultant Charlie MacKeith 00:45:35 “Did you end giving her tips on her full English? How she can streamline her beans?” Welcome back to another episode of WDYD?! It’s the long-awaited Jacob episode! Poor Jacob was my guinea pig for our first ever recording, but glitches meant it never saw the light of day. Luckily for me and you, Jacob kindly agreed to go once more into the lion’s den, to Scoop, face down the Jobometer and hurl some jargon my way in Jargon Buster. Jacob did a splendid job of explaining just what his job as a Management Consultant really entails but be in no doubt, things got fractious. Jacob took issue with my line of questioning, accused me of fudging the numbers on the Jobometer, then had a small-scale existential crisis when he received his score. It’s unmissable content. Please like, subscribe and share WDYD? far and wide, we’d appreciate it so much.

Welcome to the latest episode of What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith - it's our big 10!

My guest today grew up with one eye on Looney Tunes and the other on his Grandma shouting ‘sell sell sell!’ on the other side of the lounge. Blaine was destined to be a Financial Planner, and works exclusively for clients in the tech industry. Hear all about what it takes to help people make the most of their money, the fascinating story that led Blaine to this line of work, and there's even a bit of marriage counselling in there for good measure.

This time on WDYD I sit down at home with Edith to hear all about the ups, downs and everything in-between of being a painter.

It's a lovely hour, as we talk about what it means to sit with an object and to learn from it, the perils of portraiture, and how the door never really closes on taking up a creative pursuit. Oh, and the Cotswolds takes an absolute reputational battering. Take that, Cotswolds!

Edith's website, featuring a selection of her beautiful work, is here: https://www.edithdormandy.co.uk/

And if you're London-based and you've been inspired to break out the brushes, why not join Edith's course later this month at Hackney Fine Arts? You can take a look and book here:  https://www.hackneyfinearts.org/masterclasses

]]> Hattie - Estate Agent Charlie MacKeith 00:34:37 "Gave them the job on the spot. Couldn't resist" Welcome back to WDYD, the careers podcast that’s... mostly professional. It’s the biggest interview of your life... but it’s on Zoom, and you’re not wearing any trousers. My guest today is Hattie, who's an Estate Agent in London. What's it really like on the other side of a viewing? What's the trick to selling property? And are Londoners spying on their estate agents? Today's Scoop features the viewing from hell, we find out when pretending to be pregnant is useful, and we think on DINKs in Jargon Buster.

Welcome to What Do You Do with Charlie MacKeith, the careers podcast that’s... mostly professional. My first guest is Charlie, who has not one but two job titles - he's a Forensic Accountant and a Loss Adjuster. 

We cover it all, from double entry to twiglets, Ben Affleck to boats. Charlie gives me the inside track on some accounting secrets in The Scoop, rates his jobs on The Jobometer, and we play Jargon Buster for the first time.
