Elis James (Elis & John, Oh What A Time), Mike Bubbins (Mammoth), and Steff Garrero are back with another week of sporting chaos, niche nostalgia, and tangents that take longer to arrive than a Capri Mk2 in rush hour.
This week we’ve got: Wally losing it in the dugout, rugby underdogs upsetting the giants, Elton John’s autobiography, and a heartfelt poem about Steve Bull delivered by actual rock royalty. Also – the Grand Slam Track, some subtle Rishi shade, and a celebration of Aaron Ramsey’s journey from Caerphilly to Captain.
