This episode comes with a warning – Please be advised that this Podcast contains Elis James and John Robins acting out how to kiss on the radio. Unsurprisingly its quite unsettling. Other than that though, we discuss how to structure an anecdote correctly. John is slightly peeved by losing out on 10’s of thousands of retweets, and the team advise boiling water to sterilize it before putting it in a water pistol.

This week Elis showcased his class-transgressing skills by asking you to name things that used to be posh but aren’t anymore. And, in between riffs, John discussed the armpit hair of Team Elis & John.

John believes that Pizza Express Romana Pizzas use the same amount of dough as the classic base pizzas, therefore the extra charge is not justified. So the boys asked for your conspiracy theories. Also in Textual Healing, Elis and John try to help find a lost dog. Tune in next Saturday to catch the boys from 10am til 1pm and get on email at [email protected]

It just gets better doesn’t it? You lucky lot – here’s an extra special bonus Elis & John podcast! The duo filled in for Josh Widdicombe on Sunday morning, so we’ve put together the best bits.

What a week. Post-election, post-Super Furry Animals, post-Robins’ birthday. All this was discussed by James and Robins, though perhaps more coherently by John. Elis was rather hungover. We also wanted to hear about when you’ve been told off in public, and, as ever, there’s more Winner Plays On, Textual Healing, Email of the Species and a special chapter of A Robins Amongst The Pigeons.

Two things to tell you this week team. Number 1 - get ready, brace yourself. Producer Dave is back! It’s The Dream Team. Robins, James, and post-honeymoon Dave. Number 2 – sure there’s all the regular features (a tense low-scoring Winner Plays On, more A Robins Amongst The Pigeons, Textual Healing, a bumper double edition of Email of the Species), but mainly this week it’s all about coleslaw. You’ll see. Remember, tune in next Saturday to catch the boys from 10am til 1pm, get in touch on [email protected] (if you’re on e-mail. You’ve got to be on e-mail), and keep it Xfm.
