   #566 - The Infinite Diversion, Screaming In My Car and Hell Is Close To Stow-on-the-Wold

   Robins has had a disaster. The sort of disaster that should only besiege Elis James. But what could it be? Tardiness? Something indicative of cognitive decline? Or maybe far worse? We also receive some very weak vindication for Elis after the mockery he received for his book openings, and we ask, would a 20 year old with a heavy goods vehicle licence be permitted to drive The Sportage? Got a £7 bag of crisps, a ham hock and an artisan cruffin to send in? Well jam them into an attachment to [email protected] For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.…

   #565 - Clive The Unwell, 30 Dairy Farmers and The 17:02 to Faversham

   Well, well, well, well, well. Elis has officially completed the best gig of his life, and that’s even without his routine about Black Bart the pirate. A mere five and a half hours away by train, we have discovered his emotional hinterland: the Eisteddfod in Pembrokeshire. But away from the crowds, the choirs and the clog dancers, away from the druids and the dairy farmers, can our Welsh Hero handle the pressure back in the studio and Cymru Connect away from the motherland? Plus, is Dave the captain of a sinking ship? John seems convinced, after a surprise reading of The Ballad of ‘Reading…

   #564 - I Tire of You, Glowing in Welsh and Chris Edwards’ Bad Skin

   The literary world has been set alight after a new best selling author was unveiled 30 years too late the other day. Is John Robins about to redefine the grounded motoring sci-fi genre for the 21st century? The first step is getting pointers from someone who’d consider 'thousands' of book sales to be small fry. Elsewhere, Elis is being consistently told how hot and sexy he is by the British population. Well Welsh Elis that is. John also gets corrected on the purpose of high speed rail, Adrian tells us about his superb clutch control and a Mad Dad puts a keyboard in the oven. It’s a bumper…

   #563 - Thatcher’s Playlist, Neil The Alien and The Bag of Digital Death

   Elis may have been struggling with delayed trains, but fear not - it turns out our Producer Dave has a hotline to the Big Dog himself: Bandy Urnham. Nothing a quick phone call can’t fix… Plus, if you thought John's now-legendary Bag of Death was but a distant memory, think again, as the boys uncover the beginnings of a creative endeavour that our Thornbury wordsmith began at the age of just 13. And lo, we enter the era of the Password Protected Bag of Digital Death. But enough of passwords, protection and privacy. Elis is still on a mission to connect with his fellow Welsh folk in a tense…

   #562 - The Riff Ripcord, No Joy in a Tesco and Loyal As 10,000 Dogs

   John has shaken up the show at a big meeting in Elis’s absence. He should be prepared. In the meantime, comedy fans have been getting the true Elis James stand up experience: Having your joggers called s*** and then introducing Chris McCausland. Get ready Albert Hall. Maybe the mojo does need to return. Plus, the words reaping and sowing once again come to mind, as Buckinghamshire’s most hubristic man sees the warning light chickens come home to roost. Also, John has a frequent male escort and a new friend. They are not the same. Been unwittingly papped or have comments on ABS sensors? Well…

   #560 - The Messi of Englyns, Warranty Wallies and Garth Olwg or Bust

   If you like your podcasts jam-packed with top quality content, then boy do we have a show for you. First up: what’s it like to be in a creative powerhouse couple? A quite stressed Elis lifts the lid. And he explains why he needs Daniel Kitson to pull his finger out. Next John talks about being a lion of the plains, and walking into a saloon wearing all black. Admittedly it is quite confusing, but stick with it, as it leads to a big revelation and allows Elis to gleefully don his Welsh tourist board cap. Then we receive 'one of the most wrongheaded emails' John has ever read in his entire…

   #559 - Here We Hit It, The Calmru Connection and Darwin’s Flatmate Dave

   Sad news everyone, Elis is retiring. We thought Johnny JR would go first, but Elis has beaten him to it. He’s peaked. He’s reached his zenith and there ain’t nowhere to go from there. But worry not, because he’s referring to his DJing career and not his podcasting one… Then it’s onto kids' parties and the big question: is John’s conduct in the Bureau de Change of the Mind the best training ground for dealing with 20 hungry kids? All this plus some top tier shame, a cracking Cymru Connection, and a Made Up Game that unearths the bombshell revelation that John’s book 'Thirst' was a ripoff of…

   #558 - Drip Feeding Dross, Dave Kanchelskis and Oiling The Engine of Love

   John, Dave and Calvin Harris are with you today to discuss all things DJ’ing. Incidentally, Calvin Harris can only DJ when there’s another wifi connection. If there isn’t then he rings his indie disco mate and the air turns blue. As well as hearing about all the hottest dance gigs, Dave drops an absolute bombshell within seconds of starting the record. Something he’s held back for years amidst the oceans of dross that this show has covered. Also, John deigns to tell Elis’s hero about his lovemaking backdrop, and ring the poem bell! Because Dave must reflect on a dual possibility moment that…

   #557 - Live at the Crossed Wires Festival

   It’s not often you get to experience a world first. But here you go, you’re about to hear the first ever documented Sheffield-first, podcast-second, terrestrial-radio-third broadcast.

Elis, John and Dave recently graced the stage at Sheffield’s Crossed Wires festival, and here for your listening pleasure are some choice cuts. There’s all your podcast favourites; your Mad Dads, your Shame Wells, your Common Zense. Plus, Elis does his damnedest to connect with a Welsh person in the…

    #556  - Un-Air Conditional, 296 Johns and A Pitta Pocket or Two

    Our trio are on the old remote tricast today and John is, again, incredibly keen to emphasise just how well he is getting on during Operation Heatwave. But it’s also hot hot hot broadcasting as we hear of tupperware audits and controversy in the Dads Race. Does Elis remain unbeaten? Also, sound the Heartwarming Radio Bell as one of the team shares a delightful addition to his week. Fancy dropping us a line? Well it’s [email protected] if you do!
