Elis James and John Robins

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 ...

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...

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 T...

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 ...

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 fe...

It’s Lou Sanders FM once again and boy has she got Producer Dave sweating. From a pretty much unusable show introduction, to an anecdote that definitely flirts with the term ‘radio friendly’, one can only assume that Dave is dreaming of Elis’s swift return...

But for now it’s Big Mummy and her Fact Factory, as Lou dishes up some tasty truths in the form of surprise facts about chickens and hiccups. ...

Lou is here! And she’s already made one friend and one enemy on the way in. Buckle up, in the first few minutes there are bad Welsh accents (sorry Elis) and promiscuous tales flying round the studio. Safe to say Dave is wishing he was still on holiday…

Speaking of, John’s been on his holidays and even swam in the sea, twice. Get in the sea, change your state - Lou’s always said it. The colder the better....

The tensest feature in global podcasting turns 100 today. That’s right, Elis James attempts his 100th Cymru Connection. This. Feels. Significant.

His heart feels hot but his bum feels cold. Luckily his nads feel just right. He keeps repeating ‘Ruthin’ over and over again and his core temperature resembles that of an ill person. Can he reach the magic 50%? For the 100th time, let’s see.

In other news th...

In significant happenings John reveals the longest relationship of his life and what has caused it to break down. Namely, a Boggle addiction. We also discover the silent reality of what it’s like to be his neighbour.

Elsewhere, Dave has gone to a cuddly toy exhibition in Harrogate but we plough on in his absence. However the occasion where Dave can’t cut the tension when Elis tries to prove John wrong is noticeable.

It’s a very prison-based episode today, as John reveals he might be going there for petty crime, and Elis draws parallels between Albert Camus’s prison-residing outsider Meursault and Johnny JR. Was Camus foreshadowing the life of our favourite Bristol-born broadcaster?

But don’t worry, it’s not all highbrow existentialism. John discovers another self-penned story on his hard drive that involves farts (bu...

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 a...

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...

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 Eli...

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 ...

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 ...

Welcome to the silliest podcast around. It’s headphones filled with custard, it’s microphones made of cake, it’s stink bombs in the studio. And all because we have one of the nation’s silliest sausages in our midst: The Prince of Pranks, the goofiest goofball, Mr Elis James.

After all the hijinks and japes it’s down to serious chat: Elis and John map out the future of AI, which worryingly ends with ...

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 le...

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 b...

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 o...
