#421 - Yakat, Clentin Coins and Is It A Long Forest?!

Mar 21 2025 51 mins  
Tech problems aplenty behind the scenes, but none of you will notice until the boys bring immediate attention to it. No matter though because the mood is high, for John has not yet had his two squares of chocolate.And there’s a lot flying about today. Adrian gets intense about the length of forests and some of the finest fancy dress in the region abounds.Plus Elis has been on a h

#420 - Cheek Not Filth, World Beaker People Day and Apple Crumble Designed For Three

Mar 18 2025 67 mins  
You join today’s show mid-crash. Mid-comedown. John Robins is 30 minutes post-butterscotch. How is he meant to broadcast at the top of his game on such a slippery downhill blood sugar slide? Do Elis and Dave need to have an intervention to get him back on the straight and narrow?Amidst such a rut however there’s time to dig into offering business advice to local restaurants, an

#419 - BQWND, The Bailiff of Content and Watching Mince Defrost in Real Time

Mar 14 2025 69 mins  
If content were a wrist, chat were the blood flowing through the veins of that wrist, and today’s episode of Elis and John were the finger, then all 3 would be in perfect harmony. For this is an episode with its finger firmly on the nation’s pulse.What else is the nation talking about than mullets, Van Morrison, dressing up your kids, and a pile of tyres on a farm near Narberth

#418 - Pasta Joke, Quarry Stuff and Black as Sackcloth

Mar 11 2025 67 mins  
The Cymru Connection is officially newsworthy: we said it could be significant, and boy was it.Sadly we didn’t get a 2000 word thinkpiece on whether opening with the question ‘where did you go to school?’ is actually harmful for Elis’s xC (expected connections), but we did get a 3 minute package on the nation’s favourite feature that will no doubt be talked about for deca

#417 - Sun on the Cheeks, The Nadir of the Mullet and Squatting in a Poltergeist’s World

Mar 07 2025 60 mins  
Is John having a Pep Guardiola moment? For a man who wins a lot, he’s chalked up a lot of losses this week. Firstly there’s an unprecedented Wordle catastrophe that only the language of the great Bard can summarise. And secondly, there’s a barren month on the old PB’s (premium bonds).But worry not, for John has “lit a fire in today”. What kind of fire? A content fire. N

#416 - That’s Massive For Me, The English Enigma and Wales Today

Mar 04 2025 69 mins  
“Wales might be a country of 3.1 million people, but it seems like we all know each other. Well one broadcaster on BBC Radio 5 Live is putting that to the test.” [Roll VT]It’s a big day for Elis. This could be significant. BBC Wales are in the house to cover the local / national news stories on everyone’s lips: The Cymru Connection. The eyes of a section of the UK are on hi

#415 - This Is Your Stand Up Life: John Robins

Feb 28 2025 60 mins  
“I just feel ashamed and sad now.”John’s in a bad mood. He has made this patently clear he wants nothing to catch him off guard. That’s great news for Elis when he’s got a big fun surprise for John that he’s put a load of work into. Wish him luck.Because it’s a huge milestone week for Mr Johnny JR Robins. Two decades on the circuit. And in that time innumerable region

#414 - Yesterday’s Bone, Book Humour and The Coalface We Call Prose

Feb 25 2025 66 mins  
John’s currently penning something which will change global culture. But what if we lift the bonnet of his genius? That is what we find out on today’s show.For in that bonce is a V8 plucking words from the ether with such vim and vigour, and combining those words to make phrases, clauses and sentences. Word constructs which then combine to make reflections and musings that will

#413 - Generation Graze, A Chunk Funk and Rustle Click Munch Ting Ting

Feb 21 2025 54 mins  
John has eaten some chocolate just before recording and now he’s all glum. So it’s up to Elis and Dave to get him out of his funk. Their options: 1. Take his trousers off. 2. Give him a wedgie. 3. Let him tell his anecdote about going to a folk gig and sitting in front of an annoying couple. One wonders which they’ll pick?After the chunk funk (chocolate funk) has subsided, th

#412 - John’s Pensionversary, Riffing on Togetherness and There Will Always Be More Steves

Feb 18 2025 65 mins  
Brace yourselves, because John is about to discover something massive LIVE on the podcast. This could be significant. This could change the game. This could mean that Project 2032(TM) has come early. It’s a potentially life-changing day for Robins, and somewhat like an episode of 24, it all plays out in real time. Strap yourselves in, folks. And with John’s attention elsewhere,
