#332 - Mr Audio, Love's Best Lubricant and The Man Who Can Eat Three Curries
May 10, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBAll sorts of achievements flying around on the show. Some aural and others gastronomic as the boys reflect on a great night at the big radio awards as well as John's food consumption. We check in on how the Swift x Robins masterpiece is coming together and also answer the question, "Should you clap 180 nominees?" A Q that all of the high fliers in various industries will be asking. If you want to slip us a note then it's [email protected] or save the show WhatsApp number (07974 293 022...
#331 - Five Star Bums, Tax Over Taylor and Too Punctual For Love
May 07, 2024 14:55 - 1 hour - 72.8 MB‘Smorgasbord’ is a word frequently deployed to describe the Elis and John podcast. A buffet-style meal of Swedish origin which is typically celebratory with guests also to help themselves from a range of dishes laid out for their choice. And though there’s not a Swede in sight, there is a veritable buffet of delectable content on today’s show to pick through on the table. A chilled open sandwich of teenage Shame here, an anecdote delicacy to cut through the weight there. Pass the hors d’oe...
#330 - Sleepy Elis, A Corporate Shill for Big Thick and David Gandy
May 03, 2024 17:52 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBKnees are shaking and pulses are racing as none other than international superstar model David Gandy stops by for a chat to answer all of Elis and John’s questions about modelling. Confronted with such handsomeness, how does everyone cope? Well, Elis ‘feels things’, John swears, and Dave’s glasses steam up. An unwell and remote John goes fully digital, a listener wins a marathon, and Elis’s commentating skills shine once again. If you want to get in touch with the show then email elisandjo...
#329 - Sacked for Sadness, Hated for Content, and A Steady Hand on the Tiller of Love
April 30, 2024 14:55 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBThe boys are beset by worries this week: John is in a tizz over whether his faulty car will be covered its warranty, and Elis is suspicious that the neighbours are talking about him and his newly-scratched car behind his back. Thankfully these worries are soothed by scorching anecdotes about trying to smoke a cigar, and getting sacked from a mid-afternoon quiz show for looking too sad. Producer Dave’s willpower meets its match in a packet of chocolate biscuits, English accents are hidden fr...
#328 - The Golden Age of Whaling, Five Whimsical Bananas, and A Robin and A Swift
April 26, 2024 17:08 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBToday’s episode tackles the Big Questions, but only if by Big Questions you mean specifically: what spotted insect is causing John to yelp in bed? Would Elis or John have thrived on a 19th century whaling vessel? And how would John’s life change if he started going out with one of the most famous women in the world? As usual, motorways feature, Elis gets lampooned for missing out on seeing one of John’s musical heroes live, and we all learn a valuable lesson: when a podcast matters, John ma...
#327 - Tim’s Rumpus Room, Pork Chop Calves and Buckinghamshire Living
April 23, 2024 14:55 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBIf you thought this show was your safe space away from pop behemoth Taylor Swift’s single handed takeover of popular culture then sadly you’d be wrong. For it’s Swiftmas Day (well if you view this in a linear fashion rather than circular) and John’s neck deep in it. Also the reverberations of Elis stepping on John’s turf continue to ripple through gains space and time, whilst the question of pâté comes under the spotlight. If you’ve got any crucial information that simply must see the ligh...
#326 - Chiles Parsnips, Elis St. John, and Superfruit Cigs
April 19, 2024 16:35 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MBWhat do the blue touch paper and the switchboards have in common? They’ve both been lit, that’s what. Elis and John have been inundated with some of our greatest set of emails EVER! And in that the models flow in like it's fashion week; from snacks to footwear, from 1940s yearning women to teenage graffitiing delinquents. This episode has them all. Elsewhere, things get racy, Elis’s newfound gym buff status comes under heavy fire, and John is rocked to his very core by some news at Junction...
#325 - Taut John, Cake In Your Wallet and Joanne McNally
April 16, 2024 14:50 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBOnce the Welsh football media spring dries up Elis needs a retirement plan. Thanks to his dashing good looks there is only one viable alternative: international modelling. The boys thus get the lowdown on all things posing from the most handsome man they've ever chatted to. We also play a Made Up Game where Elis is restricted to levels previously unexperienced and we've got two of the masters of tasks in the studio today. If you want to get in touch with the show then here's how: elisandjo...
#324 - Blancmange Bullying, The Custard Slice Scene, and Run to Win and Hate Yourself
April 12, 2024 17:35 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBIf this show doesn’t become the go-to running podcast of 2024, we’re not sure what will. For all the on-foot 'experts' pumping out mid-level content NONE of them will cover big bones, being overtaken by your mum or exercising your big toes. But fear not, it’s not all the 'Pounding the P-odcast'. Elis takes to the metaphorical Mastermind chair in a grilling that he was born to do and the boys finally speak to a mythical figure. If you want to get in touch with the show then email elisandjoh...
#323 - Fleet McWrap, Handsome Turf and George Kink Lads Only
April 09, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBTuesdays used to mean the odd Champions League fixture and Holby City. Now they mean podcasts. More specifically this one, and on today's show a giddiness has descended on the studio. The boys are dreaming of things they could do and places they could go for the show: Barbados, a trip to Europe's largest folk museum, or "wearing unitards and beating each other up" are all equally exciting and viable options. Elsewhere there's a sexy Shame and we may even get a sequel to "It Floats Ladies". ...
#322 - Specs Appeal, Virgil van Dave, and Toilets At Dench
April 05, 2024 16:02 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBA new John Robins has emerged. Move over Brains and Colin Firth in 'A Single Man' for there's a new doyenne of eyewear fashion. And with such style and grace he's also become a fount of knowledge on how best to wear one's specs. And Robins isn't the only podcast host dipping his toes into the haute couture world, as Elis is spotted modelling in the city of lights, Paris. The boys muse on names that could work as service stations, and there’s a humdinger of a listener anecdote from one of th...
#321 - Psychic Cats, Second Rate Roses and Out of Riff Ammo
April 02, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBThe lovely Lou Sanders is in the studio and brings along her wonderfully chaotic aura. Oh and it's dead bus-eh. There's another hands on Made Up Game, Lou's not getting any traction on her socials and a caller deals out not just one but TWO harrowing stories. If you want to get in touch with the show about anything whatsoever then email [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022
#320 - The Testosterone Twins, Three Shirt Robins and Restless Irritable Discontented
March 29, 2024 18:15 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBIt’s a two hander today as John and Dave fly solo. But that isn’t to say that we’re not bursting at the seams with top stuff. There’s more cloud developments, John reflects on sobriety nearly a year on from his How Do You Cope chat with Elis, and the brief to wish 5 Live a Happy Birthday is broadly fulfilled. It’s [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022 for all your bits.
#319 - Baddies on the Beach, 5 Live At 30 and Thank God for Zabaleta
March 26, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 69.7 MB5 Live is 30 Years Old. A milestone indeed but it makes the station even more criminally young than our presenters. So Elis and John celebrate by looking back at the history of the UK's favourite (and potentially only) dedicated news and sport station. We also chat to an adamantly Dave-shunning David, and John, much to everyone's shock, pokes holes in a Made Up Game... which was created by an 11-year-old. If you want to get in touch with the show about anything whatsoever then email elisan...
#318 - Chieveley James, Project Digital Life and The More The Murrayer
March 22, 2024 17:40 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MBJohn Robins is an analogue guy. There's no one on earth whose life is more dictated by paper than he. So today John digs into his worst nightmare: 'the cloud'. The boys also hear from a listener who had a podcast-adjacent brush with death and there's more sausage while you wait chat. If you want to get in touch with the show then email [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022
#317 - Tasting Collapse, Ken Coe and James Hoffmann
March 19, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBNever has the mood at Elis and John HQ been more nervous or excitable. For it is a momentous day. The Hoff himself, coffee expert and YouTuber James Hoffman, is on the show. And the boys have as many questions as there are beans in the world. And more importantly we'll find out, under Espresso making levels of pressure, who definitively makes the best coffee as judged by the coffee king him sen. If you want to get in touch with the show then email [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974...
#316 - Terrace Fashion Week, Too Much Pastry and Stopping At Heston
March 15, 2024 18:20 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBHave you ever wondered how our hosts would fare as children’s podcast presenters? Well thanks to today’s fun and games, now we know! And it’s as fascinating as you’d imagine. Elsewhere, Producer Dave tries to single-handedly bring down the state secondary school education system, and in what is surely a digital first, the team discuss which celebrities look the cleanest.
#315 - The Tap Scene, Spanish Deception and Cheaper Derby
March 12, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBWe’re a month into the Great Reset and Elis and John are so into the swing of things that they’re practically Tarzan and Jane swinging through the Digital Jungle. John is Tarzan due to his ripped physique and long arms suitable for vine grabbing. Elis is Jane due to his dainty disposition and ability to flutter his eyelashes. And the boys’ suitably good form provides a backdrop to a (quite literally) dream game, a wild inductee to the 80 Daves pantheon and the thoughts of being lowered six ...
#314 - King Kia, Three Course Curry and Cow Pat PR
March 08, 2024 17:31 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBToday Elis and John are at one with nature. (No, not in a sexy way Producer Dave). They're surviving not only the rigours of a podcast-first approach but today are prepared for much more. The smoke signals are going up. The salmon ponassed. All are braced in the bivouac for a very special surprise. Once we've left the wilderness behind, Elis gets a right rollocking over his distaste of a high camp staple, we get an incredible insight into the diet of a mid-tier Crossfitter and we bid adieu ...
#313 - Weaving Willow, Vague Cawl and Soft Play VAR
March 05, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBElis James and John Robins are two of the UK's youngest and most talented broadcasters, and over the years they've had many of their skills put to the test, including and not limited to: what to do in the event of breaking news, how to react if a fellow presenter drops an accidental double entendre on-air, and who to turn to if you read out a comical fake name for the whole country to hear. But there's one vitally important skill that has yet to be tested... That is, until this very podcast....
#312 - Swansea Spielberg, Mooning Armada and a Stain on Global Culture
March 01, 2024 17:07 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBAccording to the Full Moon Calendar, we're still three weeks away from the next biggest moony of them all: the moon. However, that didn't stop Elis and John from getting teary eyed at the glories of mooning past and the relative dearth of mooning present. It was an intensely valuable chat charting modern British social history, and one you certainly won't want to miss. Elsewhere, the boys also hear of Winkler on the Otley Run, there's some belting new listener jingles and the idea of 'Elis ...
#311 - Bonce Funk, Improving Esperanto and The Audio Foyer
February 27, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 72.9 MBThere's an old saying in the English language: 'A watched pot never boils'. But thankfully, the same doesn't apply to other forms of technology, because a watched smart speaker DOES boil out content, to the tune of twice-weekly podcasts featuring the two of the UK's finest broadcasters, Elis James and John Robins. So grab a seat, reach for your favourite mug, and prepare for it to be filled to the brim with boiling hot chat. In this episode John crumbles during a Made Up Game, there's an al...
#310 - Didgeridinners, Our Oprah and Telford Is A Tear Duct
February 23, 2024 17:35 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBAn alien lands on Earth. As an audiophile, the first thing they do when they touch down is press play on the Elis and John podcast to get a taste of the planet's podcasting output. Instantly, they realise that Earth is the place to be, as their ear nubs are thrilled by pulse-setting topics such as Dronfield and the tip. They feel... home. In other content the boys chat to an insider on the frontline of the Chesterfield Conundrum, John experiences a Damascene moment whilst watching telly and...
#309 - Condo Cheese, Stepdad Energy and Psychic Hangovers
February 20, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 69.8 MBStill aching after their Digital Decade celebrations, Elis and John somehow managed to find the strength to dust themselves off and begin traipsing along the long road towards their 20 year broadcasting milestone. Who knows what lies ahead for them, but you can bet that there's going to be plenty of fun along the way (as well as the distinct possibility that Elis retires on a super yacht thanks to his multi-billion pound net worth). In this week's episode there's a Made Up Game that takes t...
#308 - The Double Ds, O'Doherty Ditties and A Lesson In Jingles
February 16, 2024 19:43 - 1 hour - 83.4 MBAs the sun sets on a digitised decade of content for Messrs James and Robins, it was only fitting to celebrate 10 years of broadcasting badinage with a little bit of retrospective reflection. Amongst the fun, a very special surprise guest pops by, a whole host of friendly voices pop up to pass on their best wishes, plus the show’s decade-long theme of Shame is finally put to superb use in the classroom. Thanks for listening. Here’s to 10 More Years!
#307 - Pleasure Parity, Content Camaraderie and A Thumbless Month
February 13, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBTuesday: in the past it was often looked at as one of the less-favourable days of the week. The weekend feels miles away, you're still not even half way through the working week... not ideal. However, since Elis James and John Robins started releasing two episodes a week Tuesdays have gone through something of a rebrand. Tuesdays are now COOL! They're a day to look forward to. If anything, you could say that Tuesday is the new Friday (in that it's a day when a new episode of the podcast is r...
#306 - The Banter Box, Six Feet From Stardom and Where's Lincoln?
February 09, 2024 18:12 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBThe content machine is now well and truly oiled up and ploughing ahead at lightning speed, as Elis James and John Robins release their SECOND podcast of the week! If the prospect of two podcasts a week is daunting to you fear not: the beauty of podcasts means you're able to listen whenever you like; be that on a train, in a car, or in a sauna with a bunch of your best pals. "Someone pass me a cold towel, this banter is steaming hot!" one might shout (in a sauna, not on a train). In what som...
#305 - Anxious Orange, Alpha Max Force and A Tartt Tip-Off
February 06, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 82.5 MBTuesday 6th February 2024: a day that will go down in history as the day that broadcasting changed forever. Was it because we saw the launch of a brand new digital radio station that solely broadcasts the sound of the M6 motorway? Not yet; but give it time. No, the date in question is so significant because it saw the UK’s youngest radio presenters being transformed into the UK’s youngest podcasters. That’s right: the brand new Elis James and John Robins podcast is finally here; and it's dou...
The Great Reset: 'Broadcasting Britain Back Better'
February 02, 2024 16:00 - 5 minutes - 4.94 MBThe launch of the brand new Elis James and John Robins podcast is days away, and as the finishing touches are being added attention turns to how the boys can maximise audience growth. Elis and John are back BIGGER AND BETTER from 6th February, with red hot content now released on Tuesday AND Friday every week; returning with groundbreaking features, scintillating chat and anecdotal gold that'll blow your BBC Sounds sock off. You'll also be able to relive the fun on 5 Live on Fridays aftern...
The Great Reset: 'Igniting the Spark'
January 30, 2024 16:00 - 6 minutes - 5.97 MBElis, John and Producer Dave are busy working on the relaunch of their brand new podcast, but with the launch date fast approaching they've decided to turn to one of the most celebrated creatives of their generation for advice. Elis and John are back BIGGER AND BETTER from 6th February, with red hot content now released on Tuesday AND Friday every week; returning with groundbreaking features, scintillating chat and anecdotal gold that'll blow your BBC Sounds sock off. You'll also be able t...
The Great Reset: 'A Digital Empire'
January 26, 2024 16:00 - 8 minutes - 7.39 MBPreparations for the brand new Elis James and John Robins podcast are well under way, and the guys are now turning their attention to one of the most important aspects of the show: #content. Elis and John are back BIGGER AND BETTER from 6th February, with red hot content now released on Tuesday AND Friday every week; returning with groundbreaking features, scintillating chat and anecdotal gold that'll blow your BBC Sounds sock off. You'll also be able to relive the fun on 5 Live on Fridays...
The Great Reset: 'Let's Kick This Show Off the Road'
January 23, 2024 16:00 - 6 minutes - 6.24 MBWith the launch of their brand new podcast fast approaching, Elis, John and Producer Dave have decided to meet up at the BBC to begin planning. There's plenty to discuss, but things are already off to a shaky start. Elis and John are back BIGGER AND BETTER from 6th February, with red hot content now released on Tuesday AND Friday every week; returning with groundbreaking features, scintillating chat and anecdotal gold that'll blow your BBC Sounds sock off. You'll also be able to relive the...
#304 - Elis James and John Robins: The Best of 2023
December 29, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 94.2 MBBob Marley once sang "In this bright future you can't forget your past", and it's those very words that have once again inspired Elis James and John Robins to look back at another 12 months of world class #content. Whether it be sexy tax calendars, riffs about the weather, or discussing Producer Dave's vasectomy, there's been something for everyone this year, and this is your chance to join us for our end of year celebration. 2024 might see the guys waving goodbye to their live radio show,...
#303 - Robbyns Resolutions, Secret Scents and Chaff Tuesday
December 22, 2023 18:03 - 2 hours - 114 MBChristmas is just around the corner, and whilst many people up and down the country are winding down for the festive period here on the Elis James and John Robins show we’re turbocharging our ideas machine as we continue our march towards the ultimate destination: BBC Sounds. Does what you’ve just read make sense? Not necessarily, but all you need to understand is that after a short break in January Elis and John will be back bigger and better than ever. Before then, however, we just have th...
#302 - Sounds & Sons, David D. Craddock and Two Sides of the Groin
December 15, 2023 17:28 - 2 hours - 113 MBElis, John and Producer Dave embodied the very definition of 'the voice of the UK' for today's show, as they once again broadcast from locations that were literally hundreds of miles apart. How was that possible? Well, thanks to a little piece of magic we in the biz like to call "technology". As always, the guys didn't let distance get in the way of a good time, and if anything being a safe distance from each other merely added to the giddiness; making Producer Dave turn grey on no less than...
#301 - Going Grain, Hannon Handshakes and Peak Bleak
December 08, 2023 17:15 - 2 hours - 114 MBWith the end of the year fast approaching the hot topic on everyone's lips is forgiveness. Whether it be the person that accidentally spilled a can of lager all over your laptop, or the football player that scored the goal that relegated your favourite team, it's time for those feelings of negativity from the past year to be let go. However, some beefs stretch back further than 12 months... some even more than 12 years. Yes, on this week's show John Robins sought to end a two decade-long bee...
#300 - Digital Decades, Comedic Offbeatsman and Basic Podcast Strategy
December 01, 2023 17:07 - 2 hours - 119 MBBack in May 2019 who would have thought that Elis James and John Robins, battered and bruised by a barrage of texts and tweets bemoaning their recent appointment at 5 Live, would eventually go on to reach episode 300 of their show, all whilst capturing the hearts and minds of radio listeners up and down the country? The correct answer is that nobody thought it would have been possible, and if you’d have seen the text console on that day you’d be forgiven for thinking they wouldn’t last three...
#299 - Pylon Following, 50 Under 50 and Lou’s Big Birthday
November 24, 2023 16:33 - 1 hour - 69.8 MBDue to factors there was no live show today, but that doesn’t mean we were ever going to leave you high and dry without your weekly dose of content. No, we’ve proven time and time again that nothing can stop us from #creating #content, so strap yourself in for a fast and loose podcast-only version of the Elis James and John Robins show, with special guest presenter (and birthday girl) Lou Sanders! It was an action packed outing today, with plenty of fun for everyone. There’s another edition...
#298 - Tahini Trouble, Jivo Graham and Ruddy Angry
November 17, 2023 17:06 - 2 hours - 114 MBJohn Robins - the most dedicated comedian in the UK - is continuing his mammoth UK tour, which means that he wasn’t able to make it into the studio for this week’s show. Thankfully for you the you the listener, that meant it was a rollover week. The top prize on offer? That’s right, Ivo Graham! So grab your tickets, check your numbers, and get ready to be made a #content millionaire. It was a show jam packed with everything you’d ever want from two hours of broadcasting. There was a Made Up...
#297 - Sexy Snails, Retired Waistcoats and Ice Cream Calamity
November 10, 2023 18:27 - 2 hours - 126 MBLike the very concept of time itself John’s tour continues to march forward at pace, as he aims to visit every stand-up comedy venue in the country. That meant that Elis and Producer Dave were one man short in the studio, but thankfully the big wigs at 5 Live had a more than capable replacement waiting in the wings. Step forward everyone’s favourite son of Swindon... Ivo Graham! Today’s show was packed to the rafters with classic content. Ivo debuted a brand new feature, we heard another ed...
#296 - PDF Radio, Tourbasco and A Bag of Prawns
November 03, 2023 16:48 - 2 hours - 126 MBCAT FEVER struck the studio today; quite literally, as it turns out that Elis James is allergic to the two little kittens that he's welcomed into his life. John's envy was palpable, but does that mean he's going to be introducing some feline friends into his homestead? That's yet to be decided, but given how excited he was about Elis's cat news we wouldn't be surprised if two more cats joined Yaya, Kolo, Cleo and Uncle Todd in the 5 Live cat gang very soon. Elsewhere on the show, John helps...
#295 - Badmin, Comedy Tapas and Making Uncertain Memories
October 27, 2023 16:07 - 2 hours - 123 MBIt’s been some year for Elis James, and nobody deserves a break more than him (though John might argue the case against that claim). Yes, this week he decided to treat his family to a well-deserved getaway on the continent… the only problem being that he forgot to make anyone involved with the show aware of this until about five days ago. Thankfully, it takes a lot more than a presenter going AWOL to make us lose our heads, and within mere hours we had a special guest lined up capable of fil...
#294 - Derbyshire Disrespect, Fruity Boy & Veg Head and Vibing On Ice
October 20, 2023 15:35 - 2 hours - 119 MBJohn - similar to a comedy version of The Rolling Stones - just doesn't want to stop touring, meaning that for the second week on the bounce he wasn't around for the show. So, with an empty seat next to Elis we needed someone who'd be able to carry the show with a sense of responsibility... a sense of hubris... dare we say a sense of fun? Well, obviously there was only one person for the job: your friend and mine, Lou Sanders! And like a defensive midfielder being brought onto the pitch duri...
#293 - The Darkness of Dave, Hoi Polloi and Jacqueline Wilson (A)
October 13, 2023 16:56 - 2 hours - 122 MBListener: this is both an apology AND a warning. An apology for being naive enough to think that someone might like to share a harmless anecdote about directing footballing icon Pele to a toilet with the nation... and a warning to anyone who thinks that using a joke name is an easy and amusing way of throwing Elis James off his stride. You just thank your lucky stars that radio hardman John Robins wasn't in the studio to deal with you, and instead the gentle giant Ivo Graham was playing th...
#292 - Smelting Success, Powerful Honey and The Arena of Worry
October 06, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBLike The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Roachford before him, John continues to live the touring life; aiming to perform stand up at every location in the UK with a population of over 3000. And whilst this ambitious task is cheered on by Elis and Producer Dave, it does make broadcasting live radio slightly more difficult, so once again this week's show is a special pre-recorded affair. Double the fun, triple the content, quadruple the time to edit! The guys celebrate a recent award win, El...
#291 - Mancunian Positive John (Bonus #Content)
September 29, 2023 13:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBRyder Cup action is taking over BBC 5 Live, meaning there was no live show from Elis James and John Robins this week... But fear not, as we have a right treat in store for you. You've heard 'Desert Islands Discs'... You've enjoyed the audio soundscape that is 'The Archers'... But in this special bonus podcast you're about to hear something that nobody has ever dared to attempt due to the sheer level of broadcasting prowess required to pull it off. That's right, prepare to experience one pre...
#290 - Giftshop Gripes, D-Reamits and We Go To Tunbridge Wells
September 22, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBWith John embarking on a 200+ date world tour taking in Salford, Canterbury, Huddersfield, and then Salford again, the man whose modus operandi is emotionally hefty comedy requires a mental break every so often. However, not one to let the listener miss out on their weekly dose of #content he insisted on making Elis and Producer Dave join him to pre-record a show. If there's one thing he ain't, it's dedicated! As well as all the usual fun, Elis gets vocal in his sleep and channels the 'Voic...
#289 - Primary Porkies, Theatre Thickos and Fun In The Fens
September 15, 2023 17:04 - 2 hours - 112 MBLook up the word 'content' in the Oxford English Dictionary and it reads "n. Elis James and John Robins' show on BBC Radio 5 Live, 2-4pm 15th September 2023". For what a busy week it's been for Messrs James and Robins! Elis both continues his quest to become Carmarthenshire's most cultured man AND finds time to grace several Baltic states, whilst John has played Norwich's smallest venue not once but twice(!). We are also graced with a truly classic(al) theme tune, a 24 karat gold stick it ...
#288 - Auction Action, DI Dre and Thought Knox
September 08, 2023 16:56 - 2 hours - 115 MBFor the first time in what’s felt like years Elis, John and Producer Dave were finally reunited in Central London this week, and just like any other family reunion a wide range of emotions were experienced during the show: excitement (from John checking on the Freddie Mercury auction), frustration (from Producer Dave, because John kept checking on the Freddie Mercury auction), and love (from Elis, amazed at John’s dedication to checking in on the Freddie Mercury auction). Away from all the ...
#287 - Memoirhahas, Cat Flap Chaos and Tessellation Turmoil
