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.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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. One thing everyone can agree on: it’s a different show when Lou’s in town.John has finally met his match in dessert form, there’s a brief encounter with the paranormal, and a Made Up Game rule sends shockwaves through the team.Do you have a fact to submit to Big Mummy’s Fact Factory?

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 wetter the better. Turns out, you can’t worry when you’re looking for little fish.Elsewhere, Lou is taking a stand in our all-new, all-precarious and all-very-delicately-dealt-with feature: Lou Sues Again.

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 there’s a new producer in town, as the brilliant Ruth Husko takes her place in the hotseat in a bid to tame the unproducables. We learn how Ruth played a vital role in hunkifying John’s book, and she chairs a Made Up Game that leads to one contestant experiencing a near death experience (it’s a word-based game, so we’ll let you decided who it might be…).All this, plus Mick Hucknall enters the scene in a brand new chapter of ‘Contact’.You can enter the Elis and John scene right now by emailing [email protected] lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
