Elis James and John Robins

We’re creating water cooler moments here on Elis and John. From 'how many t-shirts do you own', to 'is there a God', via the state of play in the treehouse scene. Not sure how or why we got here, but there’s no doubt about it; we’re shaping the nation’s conversations. Move over Traitors, Elis and John are in town.

Lightboards firmly switched up, John describes feeling all the emotions whilst on holiday; overwhelm at the studio Freddie Mercury last recorded in, and fear at the hands (pincers) of a massive scorpion in his bedroom.

All this, plus we are graced by the presence of the nation’s favourite wordswoman Susie Dent, who brings a high-stakes game with a surprising outcome.

Horrific. Seething. Resentful. No, those aren’t the words which Dave is feeling towards City’s owners today. Rather it’s the state of Elis’s head right now. He’s hungover.

Yes he’s been on a bender and is quite delicate. As he handles such a dainty state we’re left to stare down the barrel of a listener idea which gives him such anxiety he’d like to just go work on a farm. However, it could potentially win Best Sponsored Character Assassination at the British Podcast Awards.

There’s also niche discussion on David Pannick, we hear why Elis might be bad at anagrams, and did Ryan Giggs have more caps than Ethan Ampadu?

Make sure to tune in on Tuesday because Elis’s intro is going to be extra weak. We might even hear 5 Live Away Day Part 9.

Our latest Adventures episode, a long awaited return to an escape room is out now HERE!

Poor old Elis. Just when he thought he’d been surprised enough this year we go and chuck another one his way. Because a famous ghost from his past is about to stroll into the studio and cause all sorts of emotions.

But before then, a trip down memory lane with a Cymru Connectee gets his blood pumping with shame. And he explains why he’d spend his final day on earth signing up to LinkedIn.

John’s also here, and kicks off the show with his new range of Elis and John bunkers. It’s an odd tone setter, sure, but it is current.

Whilst we’re at it, do you want to surprise Elis with anything? Send it to [email protected].

John’s having a nightmare because of a rapidly approaching admin hill AKA a holiday. He’s forgotten to count his t-shirts (but does it in his mind at the start of the show, don’t worry), and then his phone goes off mid-record. All this plus Dave’s confiscated his custard cream brownie until he starts behaving.

Elis on the other hand is buzzing due to an impending trip to Lisbon for the return of his favourite tournament: The Nations League. And he’s had a jazz epiphany.

The Rapid Response Unit is fired up to find out how many t-shirts our listeners own, and we discover why John only listens to Metallica on the toilet.

As announced in the show, we’re now welcoming emails on ANY topic. So send in whatever you fancy to [email protected].

Plus, the Patreon video experience has been upgraded! Listen to the rambly Ringfence section for more (some) details.

There’s been a quiet revolution in John’s life. In one sense everything has changed. In another sense it’s been a quiet couple of weeks. He’s within touching distance of something that no one thought possible: laundry zero.

And continuing the clothes theme, inexplicably there’s a 15 minute debate about what a t-shirt is. We've said it before and we'll say it again: no one else is doing this.

Elis describes his perfect yoga situation, John explains why we need failure and Dave has learned to plait.

Get involved in the debate that’s switching up the lightboards and let us know how many t-shirts you own by emailing [email protected] right this instance.

Hosting on 6 Music has long been Elis’s back up for if John ever retires at Project 2032. Sadly Dave reveals some news which could cause deep damage to this long term strategy. Some surprises cause more anguish than others.

Plus Dave and Elis are officially tired of the titling of the Sir Right Honourable Sir Dr John Robins MBE Esq, and Adrian has too much chard. What on earth is he to do?

Know what to do with too much veg? Well send it to [email protected]. And do get yourself on the Patreon, as, despite the remarkably convoluted plug the boys try to do, Dave is keen to stress that it’s dead good and ad free.

Watch out world because there’s a new doctor in town, and he’s got big plans. Yes it’s Dr Robins from now on, and if he’s lucky maybe someone will even chuck an MBE at the end. This feels significant.

But who is our esteemed doctor broadcasting with today? We’ll tell ya; a man who can’t keep his defining characteristic within the confines of his own podcast (Elis), and an iguanadon (Dave). All is explained within.

Plus, Sam and Ash from Skinwigs pop by to play a music-based Made Up Game that sees Elis and John trapped in a collaborative hell.

Do you have any correspondence for our newly minted doctor? Send it to [email protected] forthwith. And that's also where to send your Sartorial Superstitions - the clothes you've kept/worn for far too long for reasons only you really understand.

Big week for Elis because he’s cried all the liquid out of his body in the cinema. Why? Well it’s obviously because a South American woman named her dog Bonehead. And he’s in a spoilery mood after his big premiere trip. Well as spoilery as you can be about a film about a greatest hits tour show anyway.

To bring him back down to earth Elis does have his dirty / clean laundry aired on the biggest comedy show on TV. Dave thinks we’ve got a big exclusive from it which is really stretching the threadbare definition of the term.

We also receive quite an authoritarian email and hear of the hellscape of being a club rep in the noughties.

Have you got any sartorial superstitions? If so, record us a voice note and send it over to [email protected] for our Rapid Response Unit.

Remember where you are when you listen to today’s episode, because it’s one for the history books. It’s earth-shattering. It’s a leap forward in what’s possible in broadcasting. It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for podcast-kind. 

Because Elis James is about to eat a prune for the very first time in his life. We’ve got the tension music ready. This feels significant. This is historeh. 

But the innovation doesn’t stop there, as John reimagines PMQs and puts forward his plans for a brighter, better Britain. 

There’s a Cymru Connection bombshell, Elis gets trapped in resin, and John becomes a crossfit ghost.

John’s hammering away at the word count of his opinionated column again. This time in his crosshairs it’s e-scooters. Politically he’s a hard person to work out. Which from a balance perspective is actually very helpful.

There's also reports from Pembrokeshire, and we hear from a character who has piqued the boys' interest lately.

Plus, when there’s news of (yet more) boundary breaking content to be fed into the digestive tract of the British audio industry, sometimes you just need it to sit in the stomach for a few days to build suspense. Because Elis James, will, for the first time will [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]. You don’t want to miss it.
